Photo of the Week 2015 - Week 46

This may seem like an ordinary shot of the entrance to the docks, but the clouds are what I really liked here. They gave the whole thing such presence. And if you look carefully, you can see a face as well. With the lips just above the entrance.

Photo of the Week 2015 - Week 45

For week 48, I liked the Autumnal feel to the area. The leaves laying on the ground either singly or all clumped together where they had been swept. I decided to grab one of the leaves and create a macro from it as the veins and markings look gorgeous.

Photo of the Week 2015 - Week 44

There was something about the clouds here that I really liked. Rather than them being in a stormy form, they were more cirrostratus clouds. The sheen on them make them look polished and shiny.

This little beauty spent most of the time posing for the camera. It even let me get quite close to it. As soon as I put my camera away, he flew off.

Okay, so it has been a long, long time since I have updated this. I have every intention of keeping this blog going in 2016. It is much easier to post to and doesn't change every five minutes where the creators are bored. 

Expect a fair few posts now as I play catch up with the 2015 Photo of the Week, ready for the start of the new year, 2016.

I was taking photos of ducks, and when I turned round, the sun glinted off a couple of spider webs, so I thought I would photograph them instead.

Photo of the Week 2015 - Week 41

There is a building being demolished near me which looks like the result of a bombing, and I was going to use that but there seemed so much going on in that photo. Instead, I decided on a more peaceful image. This is the pathway beside a park, and if you capture anything just right, it can look so calm and peaceful. Just to the left, there was a game of football, skaters in a skate park, and children chasing birds.

Photo of the Week 2015 - Week 40

Some of the birds that visit this town are unusual, and sometimes you have to be in the right place at the right time. I was a lucky a couple of days ago when a cormorant decided to pay us a visit. It was on a small stretch of water where mallards and moorhens usually roam, but they seemed to keep there distance from this one. It sat in a bad place though so I couldn't get a clean shot of it. This was the best of them, and I'm still not overly happy with it. When it flew off, I took some photos, but you couldn't see the type of bird it was so it wouldn't have made for a decent photo.
