You all know the building above, you may not recognise it, but you do! This was once a quarry, much of the stone used to build nearby Salzburg Cathedral. When finished the area was turned into a riding school – “Felsenreitschule” means rock riding school. So the nobility could watch in comfort, 96 arcades onContinue reading “Single Photo: Felsenreitschule”

A Space for Nature
… after the last post – less words, just pictures.
Single Photo: Austria
One day up a mountain in Austria, I stood with my Panasonic G6, 75-150mm attached, admiring the view when this fellow launched himself. As he circled I made the photo above. I made two others but this is the one where the background mountains are “just right” – or rather I liked them. I thinkContinue reading “Single Photo: Austria”
Single Image: The Rocket Garden
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!!!”
