365/337: 22 January 2011: Silloth again

The usual Saturday trip to Silloth with youngest daughter for keyboard lessons. As always I took the camera – but this time without much hope of a shot because it was thick freezing fog. But then I thought – “Damn it! just take some photos”, which i did, and proved to myself again that you can a get a picture from almost anything if you set your mind to it. Would have been happy to show these more or less as they came from the camera, but decided to have some more Lightroom fun with them.

 

365 Challenge – Day 17 – 08 Mar 2010 – It’s a gorgeous day

…and sadly I’m stuck indoors working from home, surrounded by the glories of Cumbria on a beautiful morning and afternoon. Skiddaw looks absolutely stunning from the front window – even if it is, as the estate agent would say – a distant view of the fells. Here’s today’s photo just to prove it – and to be unconventional I used a telephoto for a landscape shot. Pity about the pylon, but on balance I’d prefer to have electricity and pylons, than no pylons and no electricity.

365 Challenge - Day 8 – 27 Feb 2010

All day at the Metro Centre Gateshead, with my youngest – a shopping trip for her birthday. Concluded it wasn’t worth the hassle of carrying the camera all day – so did the following in the evening, while we were eating at the Border Gate, just offJ42 of the M6 towards Carlisle.
Tried some creative shallow depth of field – not quite sure if it worked.
