Fireworks At The Leas

Went for a "on the spur" type photography mission this evening and got these shots.

Light Spirographs.

I did some more light spirograph stuff last night. It involved a small battery-powered blinking LED light hanging from the ceiling uing a length of cotton thread. I then let it swing around while the camera directly underneath took the long exposure photo of it (up to two minutes).
  The only thing I've done to this photo was to change the colour, just to add a bit more interest to it (the original light source was white).

Sitting On Loose Change

Retro Camera

Two cameras from my small camera collection. Top one is the ill-fated and infamous Kodak diskette camera and the bottom one is the more popular Polaroid - the ideal tool for taking photos of a . . . personal nature and sending them off to Readers Wives.

Mr Angry of Tunbridge Wells.

Gave the cat a comb through and thought I'd have some fun with the left over hair.

June Sunrise

Woke up at 4.45 am to answer the call of nature and the photo above is what I viewed through the bathroom window. Been a while since I saw one of those.

Backyard Narina

Passed through a graveyard while on a walkabout through the town. Actually, although these two photos has been taken from the same location, they were taken at different times of the day and using a different camera each.

Harbour Sunshine

Went for a little stroll around the harbour this morning, not the most original of photographs but at least it shows Spring has finally arrived.

The New Look Building

A sneak preview of the freshly restored Pipers night club building but I gotta be honest and say I don't really think much of the gothic type colour scheme. It seems to have the effect of making the area even more grim whenever it becomes overcast. For a seaside town, I think it needs a brighter colour.

Zombie Apocalypse

The result of a quickie photo shoot. It was to promote a zombie book written by a lovely lass called Lisa (she's the one in the white top)..

Russian Dolls . . .

. . . With a difference.

One of the photos will be a book cover for a local author.

Spring's First Sign

The "budding" photographer in me caught this back-lit leaves straining to burst forth in the early morning spring sunlight.

Alien Visitors

Spotted at the town centre today, as part of the "May The Fourth Be With You "day.

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.

Cricket Pavilion

The town's new cricket pavilion looking splendid in the late winter sunshine.

Motor Icons Of The 80's

Just about the only good thing about that decade!
