Family Affairs

A "rare" family type photo of my sister and mother.

Halloween Night

I know it's a day early but wanted to capture this light as it looked so perfect for it.

Clamped!

A bit of colour section (colour popping). Photo was taken on my mobile while on a stroll through the town.

Puss In . . .

Newspaper?

Just what IS it about cats and newspapers? I was cutting out bits from some newspapers and made a pile of rubbish in the process. Then Chad came along and decided to make it as his official bed for the afternoon.

October Colours

Managed to bag this short but sweet sunrise upon awakening at 6 am this morning. I ran the short distance down to the harbour to get this It was freezing cold where I had the first frosty numb fingers of the season but certainly woke me up and set me up for the rest of the day!

It's A Small World

Checked out a model railway exhibition today.

(The last one isn't a model layout, it's the actual exhibition itself being made to look small by a "tilt and shift" effect - talk about me messing about with your head!).

Grim October's Day

Grim and wet at Folkestone. Yet this time last year we were basking in 84 F heat on what was the hottest October's day on record.

First And Last Light

My favourite subject first thing in the morning (top) and at dusk time (bottom).

Shelltronic

Decided to have another go at light spirographing, but this time I used a colour-changing LED bulb.

A Fine Autumn's Day

A bright and cheerful morning at my street, taken on my mobile phone earlier on today. Note how the grass verges are looking parched after only 5.1 mm of rain had fallen so far this month (we should be onto about 40 mm halfway through September).

Fiery Sunset.

As viewed from my hobby room window earlier on this evening. It has been a while since I last saw one of those!

Shangri La

This little hidden corner of Folkestone has always appealed to me. I think I do understand why it was given that namesake.

September Sky

Captured this brief red sunset this evening, as viewed from my hobby room.

Self Portrait

My sister wanted some photos taken of herself, so I thought I'd do a test portrait studio photo of myself while I was at it. I used the D3100 and a broken blind for the background and ended up being very pleased with the result. I was that pleased with it, I decided to stick it in here.

 Not bad for a cheap knock-about set up!

ISS Flypass

As viewed from my hobby room window at 9.18 pm. However, the evening twilight had washed out the "streak" (the trail of the International Space Station) which can just about be seen above the crane.

More Photos Of The Handfasting Ceremony

Have processed some more photos taken of a friend's handfasting ceremony.

Handfasting Ceremony

I was the "official" photographer for a friend's Handfasting Ceremony. The event took place at a local coastal park on a fine and warm afternoon.

Holy Monday

Decided to begin the new working week by revisiting a local church.

Magic Morning

A hot and sticky night had caused me to get out of bed at 3.30 am. As a result I decided to go for an early morning stroll around the beach . . . just as well that I had the mind set to bring the camera with me!

Beach Scene

A classic beach scene taken at 3 pm today as the warm spell continues.
