Fence and Field Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot: “The horizon can be a strong composition element. Make a photograph that emphasizes the horizon today.” Unfortunately this is only a camera phone picture (I forgot to take my proper camera out with me, doh!) But still. It’s a nice horizon, even if the photo isn’t…

Day 214: Lost in a good book Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment: “Today, let’s illustrate the emotion of being happy. Make a photograph that represents happiness to you” This photo came out a bit more stark than I think a photo on “Happiness” should do. But essentially I wanted to make a photo…

Day 213: Speedy Yellow Flower Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment: “Make a photograph of something in motion. Use blur to help convey the motion you are capturing.” Well, the flower in this picture is stationary, but the camera lens is moving. I think it gives quite a trippy effect – I can’t look…

Day 212: Path by the Chelmer Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment: “Make a photograph featuring a path, road, or trail that leads the eye through the photograph” Well the path here runs beside the river, you can’t see it but it carries on down the line of trees.

Anyway, first things first: quick summary of the weekend: Friday night – 21 Saturday – dropped Phil off at the station (she was going to Preston to…

Day 208: Door Handle Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment: “Make a photograph that incorporates a circle.” This is the door handle from St Leanord’s at The Hythe in Colchester. The door itself is pretty ancient – there are holes on it dating from the civil war! I don’t know how old this handle…

Day 207: River Colne Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot: “Go somewhere you’ve not been to in a while and make a photograph of something that grabs your interest” This was taken from a little nature reserve not far from Castle Park in Colchester. It was a beautiful day today!

Day 206: Candle Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment: “Convey warmth in a photograph today” Well when I think there’s something very comforting in the winter months when it’s cold and dark outside to have a candle lit. Although it’s not so cold here any more, I still think this gives an impression of…
