Day 176: Dinner Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot challenge is: “Make a high key photograph today dominated by bright tones.” Well, looking at what other people have done I think everyone’s done a much better job than I have! I wanted something which was colourful and bright. This is the dinner I cooked tonight…

Day 175: Old Bark Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment today is: “Make a photograph of something old. Be sure to show us the character that age can give a subject.” Well, my choice today was this tree. I think it’s pretty old although I’m not exactly sure how much. Either way it’s…

Bonus points if you can name the song the title is a lyric from. I’ll give the answer at the bottom of this post. Anyway, this will be a ‘real’ blog post, i.e., it won’t just be rambling on about what I’ve been up to! It will be me rambling on about other stuff! Shock!…

Day 174: Fence Originally uploaded by phillsacre This was another attempt at the “Vertical lines” Daily Shoot challenge. I thought it came out well as a photo but didn’t really illustrate the concept.

Day 173: Cloudy Sky… Originally uploaded by phillsacre … with some flowers in front. The Daily Shoot challenge is: “Look up today and make a photograph of the sky.

Day 172: Roman Tiling Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment is: “Tell the story of a subject today in a photograph by photographing one specific detail of it.” Well I’m not sure if I succeeded in that exactly, but this is a shot of an old Roman Villa in Castle Park, Colchester, It…

Day 171: Sheet Music Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment is: “Sometimes what’s out of focus can make the shot. Create a photograph today where some/all of your subject isn’t in focus.” I was picking out some music for our youth group music practice later, and thought this might make a nice shot. I’ve…

Day 170: Bunch of flowers Originally uploaded by phillsacre Today’s Daily Shoot challenge was “Change your point of view. Make a photograph from an unusual point of view today.” Well, unfortunately this photo probably looks a lot more pedestrian than it was to take. I had to stand on a chair to get it (the…

Day 169: River Originally uploaded by phillsacre Today’s Daily Shoot assignment is “Make a photograph that features a leading line through it today. Draw the viewers eye through the image.” I thought a river might fulfil that criteria – the lines of the river draw your eye into the distance!

I’ve been a bit lax in updating recently. Unfortunately I’ve not been well: I had a cold Tuesday and Wednesday last week, and again today! I think this was mainly because I went back to work before I felt completely better, and probably overdid it at the weekend as well. Speaking of the weekend… On…
