County Show


all in green



Posted primarily to annoy Auspicious! I thought a green shed in a green field too good to miss. This is English not Welsh - taken between Shropshire and Worcestershire.

Onion seeds



Got back home to find that the Allium was ripening up nicely. Not the most balanced of photos (but balance is in short supply at the moment), but I like the various components. Can't quite decide whether they add up to a whole though.

Rex: not taken with the ZD 50mm macro :-)

Dog on cushion



I don't know if he was trying to blend in or not but if he closed his eyes and burried his nose a little he probably could have. White fluffy goldendoodle on a pink fluffy cushion; I don't know what this says about me but I'd like to say that both were bought under duress.

Olympian heights



Our neighbour sold off his dairy herd in May after thirty years of milking at the farm, which he leaves in a couple of weeks. I took photos over two days as the animals were brought in for the last milking, sent to the mart and sold the following day at auction. This is from the second day.

Hong Kong



From the (western) New Year 2005. A bunch of negatives that I've never really done enough with. Perhaps now that I know more about scanning........

Waiting/Watching (02700026)


I've been playing around a bit with toning my B&W shots. I'm not sure if it is really accomplishing anything, though.

Forgotten


I tried this in B&W but I couldn't get the effect I wanted. The PP I've done still doesn't please me or quite get what I wanted. Suggestions and guidance appreciated. RAW file available if anyone wants a play!

Allium aflatunense



If you ever visit my photoblog you are probably bored with seeing pictures of this particular plant, but I thought it was time to get some feedback......

I suspect that this sub-macro view of the world appeals to short sighted people more than people with good vision. Actually I also suspect that macro work, like pure abstract work, mostly appeals to the creator.

Through my toilet window


Work, work, work



Sorry about the largish size of this on disk. Reducing the jpg quality setting any further seemed to cause serious degredation.

Welsh RGB 2



Poppy and aquilegia. Late May, early June is a time when I get tempted to take a few flower shots.
