I went to town today, packing the P510 in my bag. As we berthed at the ferry terminal I noticed that the sky behind the cathedral spire was looking failry impressive. I popped outside and aimed that 42x zoom at St Magnus. Looking at the shot at home, I wondered what had happened to that …

365:79 There’s no place like gnome
Day 79 could have been a nice sunset shot, for the Equinox. I’m not going out there though, it’s Not Nice Out. I’ve been to Kirkwall and back and am tired, dirty and longing for my bath and bed, so I’m not given to much research. I do note that it is the International Day …
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder?
It’s just plain water. Lit by a green laser pointer. I [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/entry/4130364]had been playing with red for my nybblets 365[/url], and this came as an afterthought for the week’s “green” assignment. I like them both, actually. No time to do any more, so this will have to do. I have to get ready for a …
365:78 Fire and Water
On this day in 1976, Paul Kossoff died. In 1970, he had played on Free’s album, Fire and Water – which featured one of the greatest rock tracks ever, A[i]ll Right Now.[/i] That’s in my H opinion, of course. I am but a child of my time. Glass of water, lit by laser pointer. I …
The Green Pound
Still working to the weekly assignment of “green” at Phogropathy. For the benefit of non-Scots: we still have lovely crisp green £1 notes in our little part of the world. We have £1 coins too, as in the remainder of the UK, but are distinctive in having our notes still. They are a lot lighter …
365:77 Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb
Some of us are of such a vintage that 77 can only ever mean [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/77_Sunset_Strip]one thing[/url] to us. In my case it is of my mother casting lustful sighs at Efrem Zimbalist Jr. I being very young, too young even to be hip, cast my juvenile eye at Edd Byrnes and his ever-present comb. Attempts …
365:76 Avoiding the Obvious
Today is Claire (aka CP) Grogan’s birthday – she of Gregory’s Girl and Altered Images, and the best of the Kristine Kochanskis in Red Dwarf. So, here is a very-much-altered-image birthday greeting for the girl who sang Happy Birthday. Claire Grogan once spoke to Mr L, asking him the way to the toilet at Manchester …
Green
This week’s assignment is “Green” – there is plenty of green outside but I’m not venturing forth in this gale. I cast my eye around the house for some indoor subjects.
365:75 Bacchanalian
March 16th is the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacchanalia]first day of the Bacchanalia[/url]. I had plans that included a lovely still life of bottles. glasses and grapes. Having imbibed the bottle that the cork came from, followed by most of the glass of port that you see, plus another one… you’re going to have to take whatever blurry shot …
Poser
I have discovered that the toy that I bought from the charity shop on Wednesday is poseable. It has wires in it, making it not dog-safe. It does however make it very useful for photography. Sorry, Nell, he’s mine, all mine. I’ll buy you another toy on Thursday. He requires a name. I’m pretty sure …
