New start

A change of tact: as it was getting all a bit much with this project, family life, work and friends I am not able to carry in the same vein. So from now I'll be posting every week or so with new photo's. 

Yesterday we all went out to New Brighton where the sea was a little choppy to say the least, however, it made for some dramatic shots. The first couple in the series were done using long exposures, creating a ghosting/ mist effect to the water. 'Til next time....

No. 226: Pineapple

I've been finishing packing for Portugal tonight, so i'll have to be brief tonight. I'll hopefully be able to keep my Blog updated, but the kit I'll be using to take the images with will just be a little compact and my mobile.

'til tomorrow..........(hopefully)!

No. 225: Phot -tat-o

It has had to be a quick one tonight as I had to go to the doc's after work, then the shops after that, then sort out my anti-virus software on my PC, (oh and say hi to the wife and kids), so I have only had about half an hour to shoot, edit and post!

'til tomorrow........

No. 224: Moody Miss

Sophie wanted to be my little helper tonight, and she does take a good pic.

'til tomorrow.....

No. 223: FEED ME, FEED ME NOW!!!!

A hungry baby just letting us know that he needs some grub in his belly. You would have thought he'd never been fed! I like this one tonight, not the usual happy, smiley pic's but something that shows the other side of parenting!

'til tomorrow.......

No. 222: The Runcorn Ridge-back

A trip to Wigg Island in Runcorn, and I found this outcrop of stones and posts peeking above the low tide like a  monsters spine as it patrols the Mersey. Maybe more monsters tomorrow....

'til then.....

No. 221: Big face

Here's today's pic from earlier on. Emily, not the shy retiring type, want her photo taken with vertually her whole face in the picture, with tomato sauce smile as well. Still, I quite like this one.

'til tomorrow.....

No. 220: Snails pace

Ruth caught these lazy pair when she was cutting back the Hoster. Snuggled up together they where waiting to pounce on those nice juicy leaves.

'til tomorrow....

No. 219: Who's the daddy?

Caught this unfortunate Daddy-long-legs (or Very-long-legs as Emily calls them), in a spiders web. At least it it helped me get tonight's shot, thanks Mr Spider.

'til tomorrow.....

No. 218: Spidey

Spotted this little fella' on a walk with Henry around the park. It won't be long now before these little critters start coming into the house to keep warm as winter starts to set in.

'til tomorrow.....

No. 217: Gothic goblets

I nearly forgot that we had these Gothic type goblets. They look really theatrical, especially when you pretend the red wine is blood, Mwahahahahah!....ahem.

'til tomorrow.....

No. 216: Things are looking rosey

Just a quick one today, not had too much time what with Sophie and Emily telling me what they did on there first day back at school for another year and having to go out and get Sophie a new school bag!

'til tomorrow....

No. 215: Pier-ing out to the horizon.

I'm quite chuffed with today's photo. A short drive out to Southport and head off to the sea again, and in particular the pier. After a few shots using my new 10 stop, (long exposures ahoy), and eventually coxing my daughters out of the sea, soaked, we went for walk topside. A nice afternoon had by all.

'til tomorrow.....

No. 214: Strawberry.

I don't like strawberries, but I do like how they look close up....

'til tomorrow....
