Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside

Posted on Posted in Art and Design, canon eos 450d, Devon, Exeter, History, Photography, Travel, Weekly Photo ChallengeTagged , , , , , , , , 44 Comments

I’ve been waiting for a reason to post to show you the inside of Exeter Guildhall. In May there was an exhibition about the 1942 blitz and I popped in for the first time in thirty years. It is believed to have been built around the late 12th century, with a new front in the 16th and the interior was restored in the 19th century. In my photo you can see the windows reflected in the chandelier and some of the exhibition stands.

There will be hundreds of different interpretations of inside over at the Daily Post.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreaming

This weeks photo challenge over at http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/weekly-photo-challenge-dreaming/ is dreaming. They suggest a shot with an other worldly sense of escapism created with a long exposure. Mine was only a one second exposure but taken later than the hour before sunset that they suggested, and I have de-saturated it a bit because the street furniture is actually brightly coloured at night. I hope it has an ethereal effect with its ghostly shadows. 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Movement

A really difficult challenge this week. I get bored with those photos of waterfalls ‘stopped’ to white water and I’m not into sport, so for now this is the best I can come up with. But I may be back. Meanwhile a mini maelstrom of koi.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting Moment 2

Like Isobel http://isobelandcat.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/fleeting-moment-on-the-street/ I have already posted a fleeting moment, but didn’t interpret the theme as it was intended. So here is my second attempt, taken on the street in Kuala Lumpur of a reflection I spotted overhead.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting Moment

If you’re a regular visitor to my blog you may think I’ve been rude this week not replying to your lovely comments! Apologies, I’ve been in Suffolk for a few days so I hope you will forgive me. I will try to catch up but I probably won’t make it for a while – I’d been doing so well recently too! Anyway at least I’ve taken around five hundred photos and I think the ones below fit this weeks challenge.

This funky clock captures a fleeting moment of the pier at Southwold.

A little closer.

The explanation, do you agree that it’s a fleeting moment?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Create

Posted on Posted in Art and Design, Craft, Photography, Weekly Photo ChallengeTagged , , , , , , , 58 Comments

This is my friends work table just a few minutes ago. She is the most creative person  I know, one minute she will be decorating boxes like here and the next, chopping up some old Levis to make a journal, in between there may  be beads or desk pets. She works so hard it tires me out to watch her, often starting as soon as she gets up and staying at it for twelve hours. Next she collapses in an exhausted heap every bone aching, never learning to pace herself. The results are stunning.

What do you think?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Friendship

Posted on Posted in Photography, Weekly Photo ChallengeTagged , , , , 68 Comments

I’m very, very lucky. I have a lot of good friends and a handful of people who are very special to me and who have been part of my life for a long time. These two, J & S, I have known for 45 years! We became friends as school and now after all this time we still meet once a month. We have been there for each other through every major life event  and there must be very few things we don’t know about each other – except that we are getting to the stage where we remember the things from way back but the more recent stuff is another matter! We could have another 45 years of friendship at a pinch 🙂

Sorry girls! this is Christmas 2003.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Today

Gypsy is having a bad day! See below,

In the grand scheme it’s pretty irrelevant but it’s driving me crazy! Tomorrow is my birthday, the weather forecast is 16 degrees and rain getting progressively heavier just when I was hoping for a nice day out. I’m not a happy bunny.
