I’m thinking of taking a photo a day for the next few months limiting myself to a 10 minute radius of home. It will be interesting, to me at least, to see what kind of images I manage to capture.
I wonder if my moods will be reflected in the photos taken?
The first image taken today seems to reflect both my mood and that of the weather.
The rain has stopped in this part of Wales. The sun is out and the car has it’s winter decoration at last.
I always like seeing the images frost makes against metal and glass and this was a quick image taken with my iPhone.
Raindrops. A reminder of rain once the the skies have cleared.
This is a photograph taken in October 2017. Autumn my favourite time of the year for black and white photography. This one has been processed in LightRoom with an infrared filter.
This is one of the squirrels at Llanerchaeron having a snack.
There have been several semi-feral cats that have visited us over the time that we have lived in our current home. All of them have been either completely black or black and white, and all of them have had a very well-defined sense of personal space.
I usually see them at a distance while carrying water or feed to the ponies, or when I’m doing other work around the place. Showing any kind of interest in them, even just looking too long in their direction, results in a quick disappearance.
More recently there has only been one regular visitor and on his last visit I happened to get this lucky shot as was outside with the camera just as he decided to pop up in the long grass in the ‘front garden’.
This was taken using the Lumix GX8 and the m.zuiko 75-300mm lens. It was only the fact that I was using a long lens that meant that I captured this particular image through the gap in the fence, without encroaching on his personal space. The result is one of my favourite cat images.
One of my favourite things to photograph is the dandelion clock and its seeds. This one was taken with the Lumix GX8 and Olympus 60mm macro lens. It was a lovely day, but still quite breezy.
