There were some brilliant photo's taken by some of the members, these can be seen on the forum HERE

Today's Thoughts

Well today is Day 200 in my 365 Challenge discussed in my last post, and I sit here typing this post out and I'm thinking what do I do for photo of the day today, I think given the fact its the 200th day of the challenge it needs to be something a but special, but what???

Weather Watch

I'm keeping a real close eye on the weather at the moment, on Sunday I'll be heading off to The Hagley Falconry Centre for a day of photography fun with fellow members of TalkPhotography.co.uk

We need nice weather for this meet to be a real success and as I look out my window right now all I can see if grey and miserable weather...But the good news is that the weather is so far looking to improve just in time for the meet YAY

Challenge 365 - The year so far...

I have been doing a photography challenge since the beginning of the year that involves taking a photo for each and every day of the year...The challenge is going well and the results can be seen over on my flickr page in the collection dedicated to this challenge CLICK HERE

Here is a brief selection of some of my favourite images from the year so far.

From January this is a photo I took of my wonderful little niece when we were out at the park, I just love this image each and every time that I look at it...
 

From February this is photo of some wonderful Crocus's that were in my front garden, I always like taking photo's of flowers as I just find the colours so vibrant...


From March, this was a really hard photo to get right, I love to create ghost images but this took nearly two hours to get the light right to a level that supported the image in a way that I liked...


From April, this is a rather tragic photo as it is one of the most popular photo's that I have ever taken, but this is mainly due to the recent crash landing of this airship over Germany with the loss of it's Captain


From May, Its not often as a photographer that you get to see the inside of the card that lets you store your picture so on breaking this card by mistake it seemed like I should take a photo if it to share...


From June, well only just June as it was the first of the month but I love to have a play with photo's, on this one I think that they must have missed out a few stages of the production process...whoops!!!


and so far in July this is my favourite photo...


This is a very important photo that I shot earlier this week while at St. Thomas' Hospital where I spent a number of weeks last year recovering from pneumonia, without the hard work of this hospital and that of my local hospital of Coventry it would not be here right now...

Thanks for taking the time to read this...
