No. 36: Drop shot

Another busy day and a trip to the doc's before getting home to take today's photo. Would be happier with this shot if I had a flash gun, I think that this will be my next purchase. I took a few shots to get this one and still not completely happy the outcome.

'til tomorrow....

No. 35: Watch this space

Did you see what I did with the title eh...well...d'you get it eh, well eh! Oh never mind. I had another go with my macro lenses tonight and constructed a make-shift macro light out of a Pringles tin and tissue paper, it worked ok but I'll have to get myself a proper lighting ring. Still, I'm quite pleased with the out come.

'til tomorrow......  

No. 34: Happy feet

Sophie was so cosy snuggled up to big bear, I'm not sure who's feet are who though? I was lucky to get her with her feet so still as she's such a perm-a-fidget.

My new lens filters arrived today at last, so I'll be heading to the nearest seashore or waterfall as soon as I can to get some nice shots, (not right now 'cos it's dark).

'til tomorrow.....

No. 33: Baptism teething trouble

Here she is, the girl of the moment; Niamh. My second cousin, after her Christening today in Widnes, looking confused with everything that was going on and having to deal with some pesky new teeth coming through but still managing to look cute. A hard days work for her no doubt, especially as she didn't take to kindly to the oil dabbed on her head by the priest. With church being pack out, almost to the rafters the service was soon completed and it was on to St Basils club for a swig of ale (fruit drinks for the kids) and a bite to eat whilst catching up with family folk.

The occasion was a great chance to see family I haven't seen for a few months; to catch up with their goings on and plan fishing trips. My girls had a good excuse to run around and get pink cheek's and chase pink balloons.

Thanks to Helen and Chris for a great afternoon.

'til tomorrow.

No. 32: L-Factor

A trip to town again having dropped Ruth off at work. I had to take a picture of the Liver building at some point as it is one of many local land marks. Took the girls down to the waterfront, where I parked at the kings dock, while I was getting the girls ready I could hear a commotion outside; a load of screaming people were queueing up for at the Echo arena, what I assume where, the X-factor auditions. No sign of the Barlow, the Walsh or Tulias!

While we were at the docks we tried to get down to see HMS Liverpool, as she is soon to be decommissioned, but the heavens opened and the girls were getting soaked so we had to turn back. I did get a few shots of her from where I was stood but the shots weren't great.

'til tomorrow.

No. 31: Dropping in

End of another working week, has seen the end of the first month and the beginning of the next. I managed to get a shot of these water drops just before they hit the surface, giving the impression of bubbles on the wrong side of the water line.

'til tomorrow..

No. 30: Taff-odil

Happy St David's day to all our Welsh cousins. A bit of a no-brainer today, seen as Ruth is half Welsh and in honour to my late mother-in-law (who is the Welsh half), I thought it apt to use a daffodil as today's subject, as we are a bit short on dragons these days. So to all on this day: Dydd Gwŷl Dewi Sant hapus, (happy St David's day,.....I hope).


I also received one of three lens filters through the post today, can't wait for the others to arrive so as I can take some long exposures in day light (just to clarify I wont be 'exposing' myself).


'til tomorrow.
