A change of technique with a interesting outcome !
I decided to capitalise on the movement and blur created by the windy weather today.
Long exposures are not easily achieved on bright days but not impossible .
A bit of Blur on a blustery day , shot no 157 done .
Stay sharp and stay safe …
Windy June Day , 2020
.
This capture has a Deja Vu feel to it !
I shot a version of this picture back in January and got another chance to update it today .
The carrot plants above ground seem to be doing well , I’m not sure the orange bits have grown at all ?
Shot no 156 done , I have included the earlier effort too .
Stay safe …
June ,2020
January, 2020
I’ve been saving this location for a rainy day, literally !
These road details always look better in wet weather .
A simple urban detail with a little surprise !
This is as good as it got on this wet day !
Shot no 155 done , stay safe …
One Eighty To Ninety , 2020
Ding !
Today’s picture rang my bell and justified my patience with this camera technique.
Why this dog walker was wearing a high -Viz coat on such a hot day is beyond me ?
I’ll take my luck wherever & whenever it turns up .

High-Viz Man , Dog & Telegraph pole , 2020
Inspired by yesterday’s “Masterpiece” I headed off to a local lake ..
My hit rate does not improve as the days pass by , I’m happy to be locked out of the ICM process .
Shooting like a student !
I tell myself that each attempted capture is a step nearer a “Successful” picture .
You have to be optimistic !
A great day to be winging it at a local beauty spot !
Shot no 153 done and June has begun …
Stay safe …
Yellow Flag Iris with trees , 2020
Last shot of the month and the week !
A row of trees in a field, it feels like more.
This intentional camera shake thing is full of surprises, the surprise is that it creates a mood of its own ?
Long may it continue.
That’s it , shot no 152 done , more photos each day next week .
Stay Safe…
Abstract Trees , No 3 , 2020
Getting to grips with these ICM pictures !
Very happy with today’s capture , my technique is improving and developing .
Framing these views can be quite challenging to the point of funny / embarrassing when it goes wrong !
Composition with a moving camera is not recommended but necessary with this approach.
Keeping things simple is definitely the way forward as this view proves !
Shot , no 151 done , stay safe …
Fence & Hedge , 2020
I found this workers compound on a uncut grass verge today !
I thought these traffic cones and wild flowers might respond well to the Whoooosh treatment ?
So I rolled the dice, gave it a go, got this and a smile on my face !
Not a lot of smiles about these days , you have to make them yourself .
Celebrating 150 consecutive daily photo sessions since January !st , 2020.
Time flies when you’re having fun , Hooooooooraaaay !
Just saying , enjoy the weekend and stay safe …
Traffic Cones & Wild Flowers , 2020
Today’s weather was perfect for messing about with boats .
Shot no 149, done …
Stay safe.
Harbour View , 2020
Making something from nothing is the challenge of these times..
The new approach has transformed this urban detail .
Once again heaps of photographic failure eventually led to to this.
I don’t mind wholesale failure if it leads to a bit of progress..
Remember this is all done in camera, no digital manipulation malarkey here !
Shot no 148 , done …
Stay safe.
Shadows & Weeds , 2020
I believe !
I’m not sure what I believe but I believe !
The Whoooosh approach conspired with life to create this in camera gem today !
I’m still buzzing , every now and then a frame turns up that beats the odds and delivers !
This is that frame , shot no 147 , done
Stay safe !
I know where , I know why, I’m unsure about the how ?
I’m maintaining my blurry serendipitous approach today !
Enjoying the surprises of doing it “Wrong” while mixing flash and available light .
Norwegian Blue ?
Shot no 146 , done .
Stay safe…
Macaw , 2020
Good pictures were hard for me to find today !
Thankfully this gentleman agreed to be photographed from a safe distance , saving the day !
I have made a few socially distant street portraits recently , I must try to make more .
A nice picture to finish off the week.
Shot no 145, done .
Stay safe…
Street Portrait, 2020
Strange how small details change the viability of photo subjects !
This is not a unfamiliar location to me , I used to drive past this house everyday .
I had never thought of making a picture here until I noticed the flag in the window .
Patriotism grows stonger in a crisis ?
Shot no 144 done , enjoy your weekend and stay safe …
Terraced Home With Flag , 2020
I was surprised to find this graffiti today !
It echoes life, a reflection of our times ?
Shot no 143, done …
Stay safe …
Civilisation is a virus , 2020
When the world stops , movement is hard to find !
I’ve started carrying my own , I throw it around like confetti on location.
Sometimes I over do it , on other days I fail to add enough ?
I like it best when the whoooosh is just right !
Different pictures use different amounts , its not easy !
Shot no 142 , done …
Stay safe …
Socially Distanced, 2020
This frame has taken me by surprise.
Don’t really know what to say about it , Serendipity ?
Shot , no 141 ,done
Be lucky & stay safe …
Wind Blown Blinds & Fan , 2020
Some days are better than others during this” Trip Around The Sun” !
Those cold freezing January days are long gone , thankfully.
I hoped things would improve and they did ! .
Seeing things differently now, shot no 140 done !
Stay safe …
Village View with Shadows, No 1 , 2020
Another great day to practice photography !
I need all the practice I can get , if at first you fail try again tomorrow !
Failure is a essential part of this process .
This is what success looks like !
Stay safe !
White House With Red Tree & Satellite Dish , 2020
My life might be restricted at the moment but my photography feels free !
This beautiful day encouraged me to take a walk into the local landscape today and I’m pleased I did .
I rediscovered a number of views I had shot before and gave them the “Whoooosh” treatment , great fun !
The work really begins now, in the edit , the images are shared as shot , sorting the wheat from the chaff takes a great deal of time.
The subtleties of success and failure can be hard to see initially in the selection process . .
Another week done , shot no 138 done and a big smile on my face ,
Stay safe …
