I'm off to Focus on Imaging for four days. I'll be taking my press pass, loose change to buy a coffee, Olympus EP2 to take a few shots around the show, business cards for networking and a pen to make notes.

Every morning I wake to the sound of starlings chirping and squeaking. I never really take much notice. but over the last few weeks I've become aware of the interesting shapes they create at the top of the bare tree. Today's Photo365 is a silhouette

I didn't post yesterday... it's the first day I've missed..I didn't actually realise until I stirred in the night about 4am. I'd had a busy day, followed by an evening with David doing Sound of Flak music.

A silver birch against a wall. I've walked past this location almost daily for 9 years or so and never noticed the silver birch trees. Now I'm charged to take a photo each day for my Photo365 project my eyes are opening even wider than they did before.

I finally got round to getting an iphone. I've been wanting one for a long while...and apart from the usual stuff a phone's good for, my first step was to download the Bloom app. I heard about it ages ago and watched a few youtube videos.

Another shot from a series I'm building on historical building around Worksop/Sheffield This is Smiths Flour Mill owned by one of the largest independent flour millers in the UK. Worksop has been their head office since 1906.

I had an appointment with a doctor at the hospital today to check my vascular system. As I sat in a small room waiting I thought |I'd take ma quick snap. I placed the Fuji compact camera on the floor with the timer set to two seconds and took this view.

This is a figurine placed in front of an electric fire and then the metering exposed for the fire. The result was a silhouette of the figurine, so I used a torch to illuminate that.

Pointing up to the ceiling in the corridor of our office and then processed in Lightroom. I DO need to get out more! [epzimg]skylights.jpg[/epzimg]
