What's white and yellow and tastes great?

Eggs.  Nikon D7000

7th February 2013

The egg mountain was growing again, so Egg and Chips sufficed for this evenings menu.

We managed to demolish 8 eggs between us and I was quite taken by a 'three colour' picture (black, white and yellow).  It is amazing just quite how many tones there are of the individual colours though.

Pick Me! Pick Me!

Horse Snot.  Fuji F11

6th February 2013

Today I said hello to a muddy horse in a muddy field.  It came quite close and thought the camera looked tasty.

Despite being a little horse, it did more remind me of Donkey from Shrek; apart from the mud that is.

Urban Fungus

Satellite fungus attacking a building.  Fuji F11

5th February 2013

I walk past the building most mornings but as the sun was out, I thought it was time to capture the odd fungus that is attacking some of the buildings in the area.

The strange black mushrooms are sprouting all across the brickwork and must be doing untold damage to the buildings.  This 'satellite fungus' also apparently attacks the brains of the building's residents too.

Vanishing point in Tesco's.  LG phone.

4th February 2013

Whilst stood waiting for Katie to hunt through the aisles of Tesco's this evening, I was taken by the seemingly endless rows of 'stuff' receding into the distance.

I think a nice pleasant walk into town is called for tomorrow; the greengrocers has one row of fruit and veg and his bananas look much tastier.

Food: Sunday Roast

Roast Beef.  Nikon D7000

3rd February 2013

I have posted a few food related pictures so far on the blog, but liked the range of colours today on the chunk of beef that had spent a few happy hours in the oven.   Yum.

Happy Weekend :)

Broken Toes

as a negative through a yellow filter.

2nd February 2013

The sun came out today so I thought I would grab the chance to take some pinhole photographs.

I chose one of my old 4"x5" box cameras that I made a few years ago (it was looking lonely on the shelf).  

I set up the camera near to some concrete toes I made a few years ago; I tried a new mix of cement in an attempt to get a very white surface.   The mix has turned out to be porous and so the frost has blown the toes apart.

I used photographic paper as a negative and unfortunately, even though the sun was out, the exposure took 25 minutes.   It was quite windy at times and at some point during the exposure, the camera seems to have moved a fraction, blurring the image slightly.

I might try again if we ever have another sunny day...

One, two, three, Kick!

Liz's Trophy.  Nikon D80

1st February 2013

The many years that Liz has spent dancing were rewarded again tonight as she was presented with not only her certificate for passing the Gold Star level exam, but also the dance school prize for Dancer of the year.

Well done Liz!
