Went back to St Botolph’s Priory today to get a few more pictures. It really is an impressive structure (or at least, remains of a structure) – it has some presence even though not much of it remains! Unfortunately it wasn’t the best day to take photos, the sky was grey (never a good sign),…

Well it seems to have rained a lot today! Particularly this afternoon. I managed to get to the shops and back at lunchtime without getting wet, but not long after that it seemed the deluge started. Anyway, this picture is of our table outside. You can see the reflection quite clearly in the water laying…

Today’s photo is of a waterfall – the same waterfall which I have shot before. I was experimenting with longer shutter times, and I think this one worked quite well. Although I’m not too sure about the composition, it’s just a matter of learning at the moment! I think it manages to capture the movement…

I’m afraid it’s a slightly depressing photo today. It seems that autumn is here! It’s been coming for a while, but the leaves have started falling and the trees have started turning brown. Not that I really mind – I think autumn can be one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. It’s just…

Today’s photo is of what I think is basically a weed, with the rest of the field in view (but out of focus) behind. I think it works quite well, but still. I was reading my camera’s manual today, and I discovered something: what I’ve been trying to do a little bit recently is experiment…

… not my own, you will be pleased to know! It’s today’s photo. Well, I assume today’s photo is of a fungal infection. To be honest I’m not completely sure. It looked kind of like one to me, but then I’m not exactly sure what they look like. Interesting colours though. Aaaanyway. I said I’d…

Today’s photo is, admittedly, the same damn thing I did on Friday. Still, I think it actually worked a bit better, even if the photo didn’t quite come out as well as I’d hoped. Anyway, as I’ve now been doing this project for more than a month (33 days now), I thought I’d do a…

Today’s photo comes from what is, I believe, one of the overlooked treasures of Colchester: St Botolph’s Priory. It’s an 11th Century Benedictine priory (the remaining walls are apparently 12th century). I honestly can’t believe people just walk past it without giving it a second glance! The building, despite being a ruin, still has a…

Today’s photo was taken at lunchtime. I thought the photo was OK to start with but could be improved with a little bit of messing around! So I’ve made the leaf colour and the background black and white. (Well, technically the leaf has sort of a gradient fill which means it goes more black and…

I swear I took this photo before seeing alex’s photo for today! It’s a close-up shot of some piano keys. I know this is a bit of a cliche, but still… I quite like those kind of pictures 🙂 If I was actually artistic I’d be able to find some way of making it fresh,…
