Patently Photographic

A New Home...

2011-05-22T11:31:00.003+01:00

Oh dear, I have neglected this site, haven't I.

Well, I still enjoy photography. I'm not any better than I was, and I don't have much more time than I used to, but it's time to get going again. Blogger doesn't host photoblogs that well though, so I've jumped ship to Wordpress. The new address is:

http://patentlyphotographic.com/

All the new photos are there, I won't be adding any to this site. I've also closed comments here, but there is a page at the new site corresponding to all of the pages here so please leave any thoughts there.

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-24T06:28:00.001Z

Not going anywhere

2009-12-23T06:28:00.001Z

Not a tempting prospect...

2009-12-22T06:28:00.002Z

(I took one look, and worked from home...)

(Driving through Oxfordshire in the morning, I spotted the mist rolling down through this field off to one side. So I pulled over to take a few snaps. Here's the first; the others follow over the next few days)

(Previously posted here, this is from "Hill 62", a museum created around some original 1914-18 trenches that have remained undisturbed since then. It is a chilling reminder of what our forebears went through in order to secure our way of life. We must not forget.)

Warning: the title of this post should not be construed as a recommendation to consume forest-found fungi. Fungi can be poisonous. The poisonousness of fungi can go down as well as up. Past poisonessness is no guide to future performance. Appropriate protective overalls must be worn at all times. Seek specialist advice if confused. Your hedgehog is at risk if you do not make payments on a mortgage or other loan secured on it. Please don't sue me. No, please, it hurts and I'd have to talk to a barrister or other lawyer.

Autumn has taken hold; I went out yesterday to try and capture it. This week's posts will be from that outing.

(A slightly different perspective on the same subject as yesterday)

Not quite World-wide

(this web only stretched across a shrub...)

Spot the flowers if you can

2009-10-12T06:28:00.003+01:00

(OK, it's not too hard, but develops the "don't need to be showy" theme)

(For once, not Cornwall..)

Bedruthan

2009-10-10T06:28:00.002+01:00

(other steps at Bedruthan Steps, although not the steps it is named after. I'm not brave enough to lean over and photograph those ones...)

Also worth the trek..

2009-10-09T06:28:00.003+01:00

(Bedruthan Steps beach, a National Trust property. Reaching the beach involves a set of truly frightening steps, but which are worth traversing...)

Worth it when you get there

2009-10-08T06:28:00.002+01:00

(Yesterday I posted a view of the path leading to Tintagel. This is the reward once you arrive...)

Tinted Spectacles

2009-09-29T08:48:00.003+01:00

... from my trip to Belgium in the Summer, the view inside the Menin Gate. Every one of those marks on the wall is a name. Every single one, and the photo only includes about 15% of the Gate.

And those were only the ones we couldn't find.

2009-09-12T06:28:00.003+01:00

Two pictures today, both from Trebah Gardens in Cornwall:

I'm guessing soil can very over quite short distances ... these were (at most) 100 feet apart.

Not quite a Monet shot

2009-09-11T06:28:00.002+01:00

Last one from Ypres, for now

2009-09-01T06:28:00.001+01:00

Ypres Cathedral, still showing the marks of 1914-18.

A Reminder...

2009-08-31T06:28:00.001+01:00

...of the sacrifices some made for us. (Hill 62 again)

Yes, I'm in Cornwall...

2009-08-30T06:28:00.001+01:00

(and loving it!)

I'm Off

2009-08-29T06:28:00.002+01:00

Back in a week ... no doubt re-charged with more photos of beaches, gardens, plants...

More from Ypres..

2009-08-25T06:28:00.002+01:00

(although not so cheerful, I'm afraid. This is from "Hill 62", a museum created around some original 1914-18 trenches that have remained undisturbed since then. Even now, dry and quiet, you can sense the tension.)

2009-08-23T06:28:00.003+01:00

Spotted in an Ypres supermarket:

(why don't I see these varieties at home? Are they on sale here?)
