When I was freshly divorced, I had myself a little pad in Leeds city centre – a garret flat in an old riverside warehouse. Very yuppy, very trendy, pretty lonely. I lived in no 69. I wanted to reference that today but could not think of any way of doing that. I walked out to …

Wikipedia: [i]Terry Nation (8 August 1930 – 9 March 1997) was a Welsh television writer and novelist. He is best known for creating the villainous Daleks for the long-running BBC science-fiction TV series Doctor Who in 1963.[/i] I don’t have a Dalek prop, but this peedie N-gauge Police Box came in handy. Shot with the …
365:67 I may be a fan, I could not possibly say
I know that I have done HHGTTG previously in this 365 but, you know, another day – another photo. I’m all at sixes and sevens today (see what I did there?) – the digits failed to yield any interest but the date did: [b]On this day in 1978 – The first radio episode of The …

Spoiled for choice
I had the camera in the kitchen this morning as [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/SpinningGill]somebody[/url] asked me to photograph the lunch when it came out of the oven. I ended up with snaps of my muffins and my baguettes as well as my [url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152507695212345&set=p.10152507695212345&type=1&theater]cheese pudding[/url]. At least no flash was required, but that’s [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/entry/4081558]a whole other tale of woe.[/url]
365:66 Clicketty-click
So, it is a vile day and an ideal opportunity for studio work. I wanted my 365 to be a learning experience and I knew that at some point I would plan in a week of learning with my Speedlite. I know nothing – less than nothing – about flash photography. I bought a speedlite …
Colourful
This afternoon saw me experimenting with settings and trying for some true colour reproduction. These colourful juggling balls made for a perfect subject
365:65 Kitchen Chemistry
On this day in 1869 – Dmitri Mendeleev presented the first periodic table to the Russian Chemical Society. ‘Tis a wondrous thing, the Periodic Table. A marvel of organisation and a great tool for predicting the degree of reaction between elements. I enjoy the Visual Table of the Elements enormously: [url=http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/57/lanthanum]here’s a pertinent example[/url] Maybe …

One of the very best things to do on a cold grey and wet day is to point a lens at a chess board, yes? I’ve gone one further today and been trying out the HDR tool in the Nik software suite and downloading new recipes for Color Efex and Silver Efex. I managed to …
365:64 Good Evans
You certainly do not need me to tell you that there are 64 squares on a chessboard. I set up for the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evans_Gambit]Evans opening gambit[/url] – it is entirely possible that by the time that I reached these frames I had moved a piece or three for artistic effect. I say “frames” because I had …
What’s been going on here?
Having a bit of a blue Peter day, and trying my hand at a DIY bokeh filter. With any luck my 365 nybblet today will show some results from all the cutting and sticking.
