Shot of the Week Archives

Catching up with some of my images

Finally got round to looking at the few pictures I took of the Farnborough Air Show a few weeks ago. We used to go as a family every two years when it was on, but haven’t been to the last two so I resorted to capturing what I could from the back garden. This year…

Back to work

After six weeks enforced leave, I am now back in an office environment for my 9-5. My new employer has a massive office space which is currently only about 30% utilised so there are prospects for some interesting office environments plus the chance to look around the area at lunchtime (and of course on my…

Back to the Blog

Have had a really busy few weeks outside of photography, but I’m back now so it’s time to tell you what’s been happening; 52 Week themes of Summer (above), Water and Light have come and gone; I also attended a concert by the fab guitarist Dale Harris and got a couple of shots from there….

Time on my hands – apparently

Kicking off last week with this shot, that fitted the 52 Week theme of ‘Colour’; So I’m now ‘between contracts’ work-wise. For the first time in over 15 years I’ve not been able to secure a new contract before my old one ends – such is the state of the Oil & Gas industry at…

A week of wild flowers and fields

Really interesting theme for the Flickr 52-week group this week – Pareidolia – finding and photographing images of faces or objects in places where they don’t really exist. This was my best effort – but there are some really good ones if you click the link in the paragraph above. Other than that, this past week seems…

Wildlife in Surrey is Rather Sluggish

Theme for last week was Wildlife – depending on where you live this could be a good opportunity but for me in suburban Surrey UK things are somewhat limited. In the end I settled for this; Which I like as a photograph, the colours are good the subject is sharp and the bokeh are nice….

Catching up

Posting way late this week as I’ve had a hectic few days again. Theme last week in the Flickr 52 Weeks Group was ‘Eye for Detail’ and so it was out with the Macro lens to see what I could come up with. I tried a few different ideas, mainly in the kitchen, but when…

SoTW – St Barbara’s Church, Deepcut

Quick post this week as I’ve been super-busy with work and other stuff. Theme for the week was “Where I Live” Wasn’t sure what to post for this week, but our area is surrounded by British Army institutions – I live 3 miles from the world famous Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, a couple of miles…

SoTW – Shelfie

A fun topic for the 52 Week theme this week – Shelfie. Yes, the ‘H’ is deliberate. People were asked to take photos of their shelves perhaps of books or other items. It was a simple idea but one that nearly caught me out as I forgot all about it. It was nearly midnight on…

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 – Cocktail Bar

The theme for last week was ‘Film’ and I decided to go with this shot of an empty cocktail bar as the pink colours reminded me of the film ‘Cocktail’. Taken with my phone and processed in SnapSeed; Apart from that, I had a good week with my 365 Project XLV and got some interesting…

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…

Shot of the week

Had a busy week last week and didn’t manage to get much done in the way of photos – to the point that I didn’t complete the weekly theme of the 52 Week group which was Cover Party. I did however, take some infrared shots at a new small pond that I’ve recently discovered on…

Sony Xperia Z5 Review

It’s been a few weeks since I got my new Sony Xperia Z5 phone, and as I have used it quite a lot in the last couple of weeks I thought I’d write a quick review in place of my normal Shot of the Week post. Basically I love it. Having been a Samsung user…
