Meet Spock

Spotted this furry creature in my own back yard only half an hour ago!
In my 30 years of living in my current address I have never ever seen a squirrel turn up in my back yard . . . until today.

The Bulldog Spirit.

Does it instill a sense of pride in you, or it comes across as being patronising because you don't care for it any more?
I took this photo yesterday but only just got around to processing it.

The Age Of The Car

This afternoon an outdoor classic car display took place near the seafront. I'm not that much of a car lover but the nice weather caused my shutter button finger to itch again.

The Truth Is Out There

An experiment with indoors light painting using a fibre optic lamp (50p from a boot fair). It's all completely photographed and not computer generated paintshop stuff (apart from the halo effect).

Black 'n' White

Took this last week but only just got around to processing it. Thought the subject was perfect for the monochrome effect.

Moonlighting

It was a full moon this evening, so I took advantage of it. All three photos are 30-seconds long exposures using only the moon for lighting.

Ghost Bike

Took myself right out into the middle of nowhere on a dark evening, then did a nifty bit of "light painting" using a LED torch on my new motorbike and captured it all under a 30-second long-exposure setting with my camera.

Seeing Things!

In the 30 years of living in my current address I have been witness to some strange sights, but this one will take some beating. Snapped these two as they walked by my house.

Results of a bike ride.

I actually took this lot yesterday as I was quite worn out from having been on a day-long bike ride.

Wind Power!

Caught this wind surfer in action while on a bike ride earlier on today.

my New Motorbike

Finally, a break in this dull and cloudy weather had got me motivated enough to take some "sexy" shots of my new motorbike - purchased only two days ago. Might as well catch it while she's still in a fresh-out-of-the-showroom condition!

Worse Things Happen At Sea

Got up quite early this morning so I went for a wander down to the harbour (only a stone's throw from my home).

All The Fun Of The Fair

Rested my battered but trusty S5600 on my bike saddle to get this photo (as I didn't have a tripod on me). I'm surprised I didn't get arrested under the terrorist act as there were loads of police cars flanking the area.
This was at Radnor Park earlier on this evening.

A Wet Day

It was a wet morning at Folkestone, and I was out there with my ol' S5600!

Bubble Trouble

Ben having suds-related fun (and Jacob at one time).

In My Back Yard

Made the most of this bit of sunny weather.

High On Nectar

Spotted this fella being hard at work on a sunflower in my front garden this afternoon.

Misty Scene

Came across this ground mist while on my way to work at 5.15 am this morning. Located near Cheriton (Folkestone).
