Sky's The Limit



High cloud spilling in from France this morning.

Beam Me Up, Scotty.


Did this in one take using a model Kirk figure, a lazer light and half a tin of Sure BO spray to provide the mist. The only thing I've altered in the photo is the colour.

Fire Walk






A fire walk session was held just around the corner from my house earlier on this evening.

Rippled Clouds



A good looking rippled cloud formation, or "Mackerel" cloud as it resembles the scales on a fish. This is the result of a bank of cirrocumulus getting caught up in a wind shear as strong upper wind overtakes lower moving surface wind. Usually denotes unsettled weather in a short while.

In The Matrix



Just me, the camera and a cheap lazer light thingy. All done in one take with no photoshopping involved.

Family Matters


The result of an experimental portrait shoot, it took place in my sister's conservatory where the light was better for it (the guy is my nephew, Jack).
  While I took the photos with my Nikon D7000, my sister did the processing stuff.

Self Portrait

Just a quickie self portrait using my new DSLR.

Attack Of The Birds

When I looked out the window this morning, I saw a pair of magpies trying to take on a cat.

Snow On Them Thar Hills






Headed to the hills after last night's heavy snow.

Winter's Last Fling?

A sudden burst of proper wintry weather with heavy snow and strong wind had enabled me to take this photo of my front garden.
   We do get at least one decent snowfall every winter but this was unusual in that it occurred so late in the season as we are in March!

Grey


A grey day at the East Cliff Sands.

Beam Me Up.

Make it so, Number One.

The whole photo was all done in one take using a 15 seconds long exposure. I used a black sheet in a dark room and no photoshop-type layering were involved in the making of this photo.

Spring Is Here

Came across this bunch of crocus being backlit by the morning sunshine.

Motor Icons Of The 80's

Just about the only good thing about that decade!

Just Another Day . . .


. . . in the life of me as I popped into a cold but sunny town centre and treated myself to a new rug for the hobby room.
  But as soon as the rug was laid down, Chad very quickly made it his sleeping patch.

Light Painting





Did some more light painting earlier on this evening, but this time taken at the Lower Sandgate Road.

Orbital



Did some more light orbs and firewooling this evening. However, it wasn't very long before rain had stopped play so this was the result of a very brief session.

Cat Nap

I treated myself to a soft light box, but as I was testing it out, Chad walked into it and decided to make it as his official sun lounge. That's where the photo opportunity presented itself.

Space . . .

. . . The Final Frontier.

This is one of the "left over" shots from last week's trip to the Warren.
