Week 11 march 2013

Again I’m a little late posting this not had a great deal of chance to get out and have spent a lot of the week rescuing old photo’s and film. This weeks shot is from an old roll of film I dug out and took to have processed. Thought I would include this as it was processed and the colour was corrected in this week.

Lovely surprise to find they were photo’s from my days as a Morris dancer. Most of the photo’s were taken on a Leeds Morris Dales tour. The group I danced with are called Wharfedale Wayzgoose.  This one is taken in Clapham in the Yorkshire dales during a May day bank holiday although I couldn’t say what year it is some time late 90’s perhaps. The shot is unusual as the subjects are drinking tea and not beer outside a pub!!!

Week 10 March 2013

Driving to York at the beginning of the week and saw a tractor ploughing and hundreds of birds following it. I grabbed my  camera and started shooting. Took three or four shoots then checked camera only to see the message no card in camera. Grabbed card and put in the camera. Mean while tractor was continuing to plough but the birds had decided to move way over the other side of the field. Then the tractor had finished and started to drive away with its plough up. That's when a few stragglers came back. Another missed shot but a lesson learnt, after taking images off a card to put it back in the camera.

Week 9 March 2013

I’m a day late posting but the photo was taken in the week. This one was taken in Knarsborough from a short walk along the river.

Week 8 Feb 2013

This week I had more free time as my Mum went into respite. One of my free days I waked to the next village along the river. This is Saint Oswald’s church Collingham.

week 7 Feb 2013

This week haven’t managed to get far but spent some time with my two lovely daughters and two even lovelier grand daughters. The babies were having a whale of a time playing with some metallic wrapping paper. They were both underneath it laughing and smiling.

week 6 Feb 2013

This week I did manage a short walk by the river and a few more snaps of the grand children. Also been looking at making an image using scanner instead of camera. Needed to reinstall my scanner so that image will have to be another week. For now though a view of the river Wharfe

.

Week 5 Feb 2013

Wanting to do a project I thought I’d be able to follow through  fairly easily. Instead of an image a day I thought one a week. Well not as easy as all that just not had much opportunity  to use camera apart from a few pics of my Grandchildren. So had a look around the house to see what I could shoot. Ummm I thought I’ll take a photo of my eye. Three hours later and 3.5 gb of rubbish shots I gave up. Found it very difficult to get my eye in focus. Tried a mirror but couldn’t get to focus in the right place. Tried focusing on something then putting my head in the same place very hit and miss.  If I got it in focus it wasn’t fully in the shot or it was in the right place but out of focus. So this week all I have is a badly shot photo of my eye with some equally bad photoshop work the make it a bit more interesting. 

Ah well better luck next week.
