johnloguk > 20.3.09 - Hill Farm

Just a B&W conversion on one of the photos from last weekend, with a slight vignette added to give the impression of looking into the past. It's 9.30pm here now and I've not had chance to check out the Dailies yet, but I'll try now. Another manic Friday out of the way, and a two day photo shoot to look forward to over the weekend, wish me luck :)
johnloguk > 21.2.09 - Spring?

It is a stunning Springlike day here today, I've been out this morning in just a shirt and trousers, and I was still hot! After doing my usual Saturday chores this morning I decided to seek out some snowdrops for my Daily. I found so many that I couldn't decide how to shoot them! Should I try to get artistic with a single flower and spectacular bokeh? Stand back and capture a white carpet? In the end I went for the middle ground, and threw in some yellow for good measure. Singalong with me....."it's a beautiful day, don't let it fade away" :)
johnloguk > 15.3.09 - Rock and Roll

I spent today at a place called Stanage Edge, a real Mecca for rock climbers. I took hundreds of shots and I'm not half-way through processing them yet, but I thought I'd better get a Daily posted before midnight our time. I think I might have made it by a minute :) 

I like adding this zoom effect to make vertigo sufferers suffer even more, it was a really great shoot, I've missed getting my hands on some steep rock, it was like stepping back in time, a fantastic day. I hope to get the gallery up some time tomorrow. It should suit adrenaline junkies and people who love sweeping landscapes and big vistas, oh and the odd sheep :)

Late Edit; check out my very different Monday Challenge shot here -  http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/gallery/7093288_hSxt4#492539426_KGc5f
johnloguk > 4.10.09 - Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo

More ghostly goings on in the "ghost corridor". I think yesterday's ghost pic had a romantic feel to it, so I tried for a more Gothic feel to this one. I promise to do something different tomorrow :)
johnloguk > 30.6.08 - On Reflection.

There was a time when I dreamed of living on an old narrow boat like this, travelling the waterways from pub to pub. I've had three holidays on them and had a great time. I ought to start saving up for one now before I run out of time I reckon :)

Did anyone else watch the Andy Murray vs Richard Gasquet match at Wimbledon earlier today? What a classic, if you missed it try to catch a highlights show, you won't be disappointed.
johnloguk > 31.7.08 - Six Months on The Dailies, Yippeeeeee, doesn't time fly when you're having fun :)

This is another shot from last night, partly because it has been raining most of the day, and partly because I liked the feel of the image but couldn't decide what to do with it until earlier this evening. Apologies if the frames and text are becoming too predictable, please indulge me, it is my 6 month anniversary after all :)

Dusk really is my favourite time of day, the light is so atmospheric, and it gives so many photographic opportunities. I love it when there is still some colour in the sky, the lights are all coming on, and long exposures give rich colours and show movement in this ghostly way.

I also like the way that hardly any of the buildings in this view are straight in any plane. The building on the right isn't even level within itself. But bizarrely, the object that is most out of the perpendicular is the brand new tourist sign :)
johnloguk > 28.11.08 -  Foggy Daze

Our first real fog of the winter today. I was desperate to get out and take some photos, but it was manic Friday and opportunities were limited. Eventually I did get these, and thought I'd try a monochrome collage for a change. 

I only got on the Dailies briefly this morning, but I'll try to catch up a bit tomorrow. Have a great weekend.
johnloguk > 2.6.09 - Look what they did to my photos :)

Apologies for a very self indulgent Daily, but I was so excited to get these photos today I just had to share them. I think I've said before that I don't seem to get "ordinary" photographic assignments like babies and weddings, but I do get my photos on the side of big trucks! I didn't take these photos, I've not seen the truck in the flesh yet, but I hope to catch up with it soon.
johnloguk > 2.8.09 - After the Storm (2 shot photomerge panorama)

Well it rained, and rained, and rained, but then this happened! I could have taken a similar shot from my window, the whole sky was a mass of changing colour, but I'm glad I went for a drive to get this view. It is only a mile away, if that, the Cathedral is on the left and the small country lane on the right. The lane was flooded in places, and that gave a very different perspective on the sunset, as you can see here    http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/gallery/4053411_yY5Qg#608061724_cB9cS

This was taken from almost exactly the same spot as this   http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/gallery/7240041_kZdsG#604566139_X7ehW  What a difference a few days make!
