Wireless

Wireless is everywhere these days from tv remotes to keyboards and now even wireless energy transfer.

If you were born around the end of the 1970s or start of the 80s then you, like me will remember when a lot of TV's didn't even have remote controls (or not even colour screens in some cases!). How times have changed!

Fovant Badges

As it is Remembrance Sunday here in the UK, I thought I'd post a picture I recently took of the Fovant Badges which were featured on last weeks BBC's Countryfile programme.

The first badges appeared in 1916 and were created by soldiers garrisoned nearby who were waiting to go to France and fight in the hell of the First World War.

Lest We Forget.

Two Faced

Inspired by Venezuelan artist Jesús González Rodríguez and his project called 1/2 I thought I would have a go and combining a face on portrait with a side profile.

I just took 2 quick snaps, edited them together using Photoshop then added a texture. The whole process took less than 15 minutes.

Lake District Waterfalls

Here are the waterfall pictures promised on my last post from my recent trip to the Lake District.

I have always wanted to have a go at capturing flowing water so that I appears almost mist / fog like. What better place to try this than on the various waterfalls that I came across during my visit to the lakes.

To capture these types of images you need to use slower shutter speeds and smaller apertures (higher f/stop numbers) and have your camera on a tripod or another sturdy surface.

Anyway, here are some of my results whilst attempting this technique.

Lake District Landscapes

I recently travelled up t'north to the Lake District for a few days away.

That area of the UK has stunning scenery so I took my camera gear with with me and in between the seasonal downpours, snapped a few shots.

Here are a few of the landscape shots that I took.















There will be a follow up post entitled, Lake District Waterfalls so watch out for that!

Human Rights

It says......"HEALTH AND SAFETY IS AN INFRINGEMENT OF OUR HUMAN RIGHTS"

Surprised to see something like this on a wall in a lay by in the countryside so I took a quick snap.

Haven't seen too much stencil work around Salisbury since 2008 when I posted this

Digital Age

Digital television, digital radio, digital music and of course digital photographs have all become the norm in my lifetime but I can't help but reminisce about all things analogue. There was something about loading a camera with film or putting on a vinyl record that makes things seem somehow more substantial.

Of course, everything being digital makes things a lot quicker, cheaper and easier so I'm not complaining but I guess it's just an age thing that gives you fond memories of old technology.

I found this roll of 35mm film recently and thought I'd take some shots but then give it a digital twist...
