A pair of cherries photographed on an infinity curve backdrop using my homemade ringlight from above Pentax K20D and 100mm macro.

Another from a series charting the building progress of the new cinema in Worksop. I will stand in the same spot once or twice each week and take a shot with the iPhone's HDR camera app.

Finally got around to adding the colour to the kitchen cupboards I started work on a few weeks ago. As I was stirring the paint this evening I noticed the interesting patterns and photographed them. Taken with the Pentax K20D and 100mm macro.

I'm cooking a beef curry tonight and while I got the onion sliced I slipped a bit on the lightbox for a backlit shot with the Pentax K20D and 100mm macro lens.

Alex and her new guitar. Taken with the Olympus Ep2 and 14-42mm lens, backlit and overexposed then mildly cross processed in Adobe Lightroom.

When I say the word Conkers all I can think now is Dizzee Rascal's song "Bonkers" That thought aside, this is a bunch of conkers just about ready to pop. Taken using the Pentax K20D and 16-45mm lens, fitted with a polarising filter.

I'm still making the most of the poppies that grew in my garden and I decided to try out my new hose pipe (bought for £4 from Tesco yesterday). I took the Elincrom D-Lite flash outdoors and positioned it to the right and behind the poppy heads.

As the sun looked like it was going to be around at sunset I decided to take a trip out to Baslow Edge to photography my favourite rock. As I approached the cloud was minimal but as the sun sunk lower, some cloud appeared to give me just the right amount.

I walked back along the canal today after a visit to the post office. I didn't take my camera but spotted a cluster of fungi in the hedgerow. I always carry the iPhone so it was time to get the Hipstamatic out. Thankfully it takes decent close ups.

I took a photo of the site where the cinema is going to be built a few months ago for my daily photo365 project. Since I took that photo time seemed to have stood still. I visited the site day after day, week after week
