Photo of the Day December 2015

Small white camper... Old guy with Groucho Marx glasses 'n' eyebrows combo... probably in a pub...

Not too hard to spot.

In one of my favourite pubs today, the Fleece in Bretforton, near Evesham. Here's an elderly gent sitting by the fire in one of the high-backed settles... lit just by the light from a tiny window...

I think you need to put together a book of English pubs and photos from them with a guide as to where they can be found. That way should any of us here decide to visit England we'd have a handy reference!

That's a great idea. Of course, when I'm in a favourite pub, I hate to destroy the atmosphere: y'know, poking a camera in people's faces and getting in the way. And there are pubs (like this one) I don't want to change... or get more crowded. I'm conflicted.

Where I photographed the old gent yesterday...

You certainly do the job of capturing character in the people in your "street"photos - don't know how you do it but it works!

That's very kind of you to say, thank you!

Went to see it at midnight last night, but must have dozed off as I don't remember this character!
Nicely done (as always).

I tried to get something like this the other week - failed miserably in comparison. Love the composition, tones and shallow DoF.

Thanks. I wasn't sure whether I liked this one or the similar B&W.

Blew the highlights in the clock in that one though. Think I prefer the colour because of that.

The clock in St Pancras.

Made by the same company that made the clocks on Big Ben.

Gorgeous hotel! Spent a few nights there with business getting customers blind drunk. The courtyard area with all of the trees lit up is brilliant. Nice moody capture of it.

I really like the way you have captured the light on this one - yeah yeah you know what I mean!

Dont go there... My wife said she wanted a Jo Malone candle for Christmas. They are taking the proverbial with the pricing of their pots of wax!!!
