Daily Donnie's 365 for 2013

Oh my, huge catch up here - love the light on the teasels. Like the chimney shot, but not the plane trail and the birds - would be better with just one or the other - post box is cool - very retro looking.

Cheers all

On the plane trail, yeah, it annoys me too but I left it as it was a straight out of camera shot plus I wasn't really sure it was worth cloning it out

Glad it wasn't just me then

Lol, I had to take a real close look to see that plane trail. Off to the opticians soon for me I think!

Great series, got to love back lit teezels, but the chimneys and birds (and plane trail) is my fav

Thanks Tim

This is one of the Cardington Sheds near where I live last week and was experimenting with angles and where to focus, think it works, more so as I know what the sheds are I guess.

One from the Emabankment in the middle of Bedford. One thing about Bedford Council, they do keep the river area in town looking good. As the weather was turning and the tulips will be fairly shortlived I thought I'd get some shots.

Another of the embankment area including the war memorial

Yet another of the river

At least its well used by the local rowers!

My only problem really with this shot is the dark left hand side where the tree is, but it's a time of day thing :-/

A bit of a snap, was walking along the river on Sunday and saw the way I could frame some more rowers in between the bank, trunk and leaves of the horse chestnut.

A shot of the German Band playing at the Bamberg Beer Festival at the weekend.

Horrible horrible lighting in there, ie harsh red!!!
Managed to pull a snap out of it with the help of lightroom.

And a quickie of the cat on a while sheet background as I was practicing, what a faff though :-/ plenty of work on this to get rid of the creases, going to buy a paper roll me thinks!

Wonderful shot of your cat! The focus is spot on!
I lik the rape photo, reminds me of the Warner Brothers sepia start up on some films.

Those eyes are just awesome !!

Sonriendo · 14 May 2013

Great catch up 124 and 128 for me

whipspeed · 14 May 2013

Some nice shots of the embankment. It is a lovely area for a walk. Like the oil seed rape in front of the sheds at Cardington as well.

TimmyG · 14 May 2013

128 for me. What you call a snapshot, I call genius!

Donnie · 15 May 2013

Thanks all, I've certainly got a renewed enthusiasm again, perhaps the good bank holiday weather helped

kennysarmy · 17 May 2013

128 - super use of the tree to frame the shot - great spot!

Donnie · 6 Jun 2013

Best part of 3 weeks since updating :-(

Looks like you had a good shoot with Kitty

I had a shoot with her a couple of years ago. Lovely girl.

Sonriendo · 7 Jun 2013

Nice catch up - love the chickens and #136

JakeT1992 · 7 Jun 2013

Love the chickens!

She certainly is, think she's had a break and is getting back into things again from what she said, didn't get many great shots though have to admit as these were on a camera club studio night and you have about 8 or 10 of us all of varying ability only shooting in 2 - 3 minute bursts.

Cheers

I happened to spot 136 on a wander and at first I wasn't sure what it was but there is just something about the lines, angles and the roughness of it all that I liked.
