Quick Project XLV Update

Unlike a lot of people who undertake a 365 challenge, I didn’t start mine at the beginning of the year but on my birthday in March and as such I’ve still got a few weeks to go yet. Happily I’ve passed the 300 mark – on the day of writing I’m up to 319 –…

Project XLV – 200 days done

I’m now past Day 200 in my 365 Project XLV. Forcing myself to take a photo every day is certainly a challenge – at least on some days. I don’t know how people managed this challenge before camera-phones were invented! We have recently returned from a holiday to Cancun where it was a lot easier to get…

SoTW – Urban Wildlife

Another week has flown by. The theme for last week on Flickr was ‘Urban Wildlife’ which was always going to be something of a challenge for me as my windows of opportunity for photography are usually pretty small and wildlife photography usually requires time to find a location and wait for the wildlife to appear…

Shot of the Week – Look up

Theme for the week last week was “Look Up” which was a great choice with plenty of scope for interpretation. I was fortunate enough to bag my shot on Easter Saturday, right at the start of the new week so that was a welcome change. This was taken on my phone at the local shopping…

Project XLV

Lots to talk about today, firstly theme for last week was Childhood Memories and so I shot this as my entry, using my Kindle Fire as the shiny black surface the TV providing back-light (paused at a point where most of the screen was white) and one of my little LED lights as the key…
