Silent Cow

Silent Cow - 2008-09-20

There is a story behind this, but frankly, it’s not as interesting as anything you might make up.

Loads more photos from today (some of which may even be better than this one) can be found in my Bristol Gallery

Bar Billiards

Bar Billiards - 2008-09-19

This is a bar billiards table – I’ve never understood the game, but I liked the way the light was hitting it on the way out of the pub at lunchtime.

Hot Solder

Hot Solder - 2008-09-18

Makes the world go around apparently.  It does at least make the electrons go round in the right directions.

Today, I bought a 50mm f1.8 prime lens for my camera.  My intention is to shoot with it as much as possible over the next few weeks, using my legs to zoom as needed. It’s almost certainly going to set me back a bit in terms of quality for a few days while I work out what I’m doing.

I had to work a little harder than usual to set up the above still life (No “compressing the background by zooming in” for example) but I think I’m going to enjoy seeing where limiting myself to a single focal length takes me.

You can provide your own damn stick.

Junk

Junkmail - 2008-09-16

I was at work for 11 hours today.

Sunset Balloon

Sunset Balloon - 2008-09-14

I don’t like this one, the colours look dirty, it’s hazy because it’s shooting almost into the sun (and my lens hates that) and the quality’s just not good enough.

But I’m exhausted after a days manic concentrating, so it’s all you’re getting.

Sunset in Almondsbury

Paul at Sunset - 2008-09-14

I dropped in to the Bristol Juggling Convention today, just to visit.

It wasn’t until after I’d taken this photo that I realised that it was (Crystal|One) Ball Paul – and the last time I saw him was 2001, when I spent a night on his floor in Amsterdam.

I’ll be popping backwards and forwards to the convention during the week, and I’ll be adding those photos to the Bristol 2008 album

Time

Time - 2008-09-12

I really should find something more interesting to do than a 3 exposure shot of some clocks.

Oh – and 25,19,19,17,23

Golf Course

Golf of course - 2008-09-11

I went for a walk after work.  It rained.  A lot.  This was just about the only usable shot I got in a brief period when it was merely overcast.
