Snap on the commute home last week.
Doing a photo a day again this year,it's been very calming and good to take more notice of the day to day stuff.
In my back garden just now. I've seen the aftermath plenty of times, first time I've caught him still eating.
It's Alive!
Went to the zoo today. Got one of those cool but cliched 'calendar' shots.
Plus a few other more interesting (ie - a bit over processed for most tastes) bits.
Brighton, one evening
Wondered what had happened to this thread. Here's my recent visit to Chester Zoo.

Took the dog (and the proper camera) to the beach this evening. Dog not interesting enough to feature in the photos...
Nice to see this thread back, great animal photos (both sets).
Messing about with some misty scenes I took today. Realised I've never really had the camera out when it is foggy...
These days I rarely take the camera with me,the mobile phone is a lot more convenient.
I took this one Friday afternoon,I had to make the most of the mild weather.

@dannybgoode I find fog really hard to deal with. Got this today though that I'm kind of happy with.
Plus a few other recent things...
@colournoise - it was interesting seeing what I could come up with. Pretty please for first efforts 🙂
Hi Colournoise
Just want to let you know that your photos are always immediately recognisable without being boring and clichéd. Nice collection of work you must have by now.
Two slightly contrasting ones from the weekend in the Lakes, above and below an inversion.
The Bass Rock, Tantallon Castle and my 6cyl growler
🤔
@Pyro - I like those. Next time it is foggy I want to get up into the hills to try and get above it also 🙂
Cheers @dannybgoode! I was out event shooting for a winter Ultra and conditions were utterly glorious, I spent as much time shooting landscape-type stuff as I did trying to get shots of the participants...

Thanks eddie!
I do cultivate a certain style (I have a few 'rules' of composition I follow and a pretty specific post-processing routine), and this is something I try to encourage in my students too - good or bad, I want to be able to recognise their work without there being a name on it.
Enjoyed the fog yesterday.

Ignore this message as I can't get the image to display.
This might be one of the best landscape photographs I've ever taken.
(I genuinely don't mind the digital noise - I'm a really stubborn believer in truth to materials...)
And a few other recent things that aren't quite as good as that...
Pembrokeshire beach, New Year’s Day 2022:
2 months late, but just going through my photos and saw this one again around remembrance time me and my son playing a local football match
☝Nice shot. I love the sun's rays and shadows.
A foggy walk in Lancs. last week
Up on Mam Tor last month

Great to have this thread back. iPhone pic from a snowy run before Christmas on Big Moor (Peak District)
How the heck do you embed Instagram images again?!?

The automatic Insta embedding has sadly gone away...
My friend Ivan
^ That reminds me of the artist Vermeer.
Love the images that pop up here.
Slightly over the month but I liked this one..it looks 'urban wasteland' but that's far from the truth. It's part of an abandoned conveyor belt that carried coal several miles from open cast to railhead here in the rural hills of East Ayrshire.
@johndoh you mean Ivan or the lighting in my composition? 😂 thank you though that's a hell of a compliment ❤️
I am a bit of a fan of chiaroscuro lighting so this often features in my work.
^ That reminds me of the artist Vermeer.
Never seen a pic of Vermeer with a beard, perhaps you mean Van Gogh? 😉
Since I'm here.
Coincidentally, this image is a direct interpretation of 'Girl with a Pearl Earing', albeit a playful interpretation!
This is another of my friend Ivan, whom I've been photographing for about two years. We started the project together at the commencement of lock down and in response to that. He is vulnerable (so no laws were broken) and we partly conceived the project to enable him to have a human connection with someone (as otherwise he would have been completely isolated and that would most likely not have turned out well for him!)
Homage to Henri Cartier-Bresson - Dunnerdale not Paris
Oh trés bien mon ami!
Dirty and nasty even by my own low standards, but love the feeling of this.
