I made this photo while on a trip to Kennedy Space Port, Florida in 2007. I used my Canon EOS20D with the standard kit lens 18-55mm. f10 at 250th, ISO was set at 100, and I used the 18mm focal length. I can tell you this as the camera recorded the info along with theContinue reading “Single Image: The Rocket Garden”

Frosty Walk with the 5D
I find the grey and dullness of this time of the year a challenge mentally. I never used to even think about it when I was younger, but I would say that the last 5 years or so, I find it demotivating. When I’m at work I rise about 7am, and this morning it mayContinue reading “Frosty Walk with the 5D”
From the 5D to the 5D
20 Years ago (October 2005) Canon released the “original” 5D into the world. Back then it was a big deal – but let me re-wind a little. When I worked in the camera store, I changed cameras often. When a second-hand camera came in, if I hadn’t tried one of its type before, I’d oftenContinue reading “From the 5D to the 5D”
Single Photo: Night Sky
About a week ago I was finishing work, just about in “magic hour” which in my experience is half an hour if your lucky! I looked up and saw the crescent moon, against the sky with just enough light to record as blue (rather than black). Very close by was Jupiter, easily within the frame.Continue reading “Single Photo: Night Sky”
Door Wreaths
I popped out for a quick lunchtime walk, the first image I made was of a Christmas Wreath on a door so then I got sort of locked on and made more! All of these were made within about 10 minutes of each other! Chatter: Canon 5D with 50mm f1.4
Single Shot… Yellow Rope
Made whilst out on a photo walk around Poole. I’ve photographed this more than once before! Below is from my recently failed out-of-date roll of Kodak Colour Plus that reminds me of a quote I remember but can’t remember who said it or where I read it! “Digital was the coming of age of colourContinue reading “Single Shot… Yellow Rope”
We’ve had snow!!!
A week ago I was out in glorious sunshine making images of the autumn colours. This week we have snow, and a reasonable amount too! I have always lived on the south coast of the UK, and whilst we get plenty of rain and wind, very little snow. I remember we had enough for meContinue reading “We’ve had snow!!!”
Autumn Colour
A couple weeks back while the autumnal colours were at their height, a free half hour lunchbreak coincided with a crisp sunny bright day. I happened to have one of my digital cameras with me – so I took a walk. Chatter: Canon EOS 5D with Canon 50mm f1.4
Not Quite Forgotten
A “single photo” type post. I’ve walked past this house before in the early morning and noticed they still have milk delivered in the traditional way from my youth! Yes, a milkman delivering milk in milk bottles! It still exists – this image was made last week! This particular morning I happened to have myContinue reading “Not Quite Forgotten”
Gone to the beach!
About 30 years ago my parents and I rented a holiday home for a week, in a small town called Shaldon, down on the south coast of Devon. This looks over a wide harbour, the other side of which, lies the town on Teignmouth. I’ve been here several times, and always liked the place. AtContinue reading “Gone to the beach!”
