As if starting Project 35 today were not enough – I also set up a few still life shots of chocolates for this week’s Photo Challenge. I’m not sure which one I’ll use (if any). Any excuse to buy some more chocolate to try some other ideas!

AMD Opteron
This week’s Photo Challenge is entitled “go for gold”. We have to send in something related to gold. I decided to photograph the underside of a computer processor – an AMD Opteron – which was on my desk. The pins are gold-plated. From a super-macro like this, the scale is hard to tell. In realContinue reading “AMD Opteron”
Cumberland Basin in the evening
It’s the Bristol Balloon Fiesta this weekend and tonight at 6pm there was scheduled to be a mass ascent of 100 hot air balloons near the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Paul and I checked my ephemeris to find a good location (it’s a really useful app) and set off to Cumberland Basin, which affords good viewsContinue reading “Cumberland Basin in the evening”
A walk on the Downs
Nathan and I went for a walk on Bristol Downs today, hoping to find some pictures of sport for this week’s Photo Challenge. Two local football teams were playing each other in training, so I stopped to take a few photos. This one was the best. Then the heavens opened and it started to pourContinue reading “A walk on the Downs”
Tower cranes
Ever since a couple of tower cranes were erected just across from my office, I’ve had a photo like this in mind. First I didn’t have a camera on me, then I brought it to work but it got switched on in my bag and ran its batteries flat. Then it was terrible weather forContinue reading “Tower cranes”
Bristol Harbour Festival
OK, so this is a slight scam. I went to Bristol Harbour on three occasions recently. Only one was the Harbour Festival but I’ve bundled all the pictures into one post. They’re in chronological order. The black & white pictures were taken in early July when Hannah and I were visited by Fraser and Suzie.Continue reading “Bristol Harbour Festival”
Long Wrangle Farm
On the way home from our photo-expedition to Burrow Mump and Berrow Beach, we spotted a golden sunset coming across the road. We stopped at the next possible place, which happened to be the entrance to Long Wrangle Farm. The sun was very low on the horizon and the light was changing rapidly, so itContinue reading “Long Wrangle Farm”
Super macro
For this week’s Photo Challenge we have to take a mystery macro picture. It’s supposed to be obscure, and then there will be a guessing game before the zoomed-out versions of the entries are revealed. I won’t say what this picture is of, but I’ll say a word about my macro equipment. I have aContinue reading “Super macro”
Burrow Mump
Yesterday I visited Burrow Mump with my friend Nathan, for the purpose of landscape photography. Burrow Mump is a hill just outside the village of Burrowbridge. Overlooking Burrowbridge and Southlake moor, St Michael’s church stands on top of the hill. Sheep roam free on the hill. I’m pleased with what I achieved – the architecture,Continue reading “Burrow Mump”
Rainy day
It was a very windy and rainy day in Bristol today. Unable to go for a photowalk for fear of being washed away, I loitered under the canopy at the front of the office and watched people go past. This picture was the best I managed before wimping out and going inside again after fiveContinue reading “Rainy day”
