Photo of the Day: July 2014

WW1 in paper. These art students have loads more talent than I do. Unfortunately the room was very dark and I couldn't use a flash. The exhibitions at Dudmaston hall if you are in the Midlands and want to check it out.

Whats she got against Drones?

Wonder how this looked in colour? I think it might work better imo.

The problem is the sky. It was a flat, grey sky and I had too much of it. I'll post the color version and see if anyone likes that one better.

Froome? And Sagan behind?

Correct, but what you may not have spotted was Van Avermaet in between them (now hiding Sagan)...

An iPhone photo showing how I spent most of my weekend. A good 10 miles of driving on a soft sand beach(4WD vehicles ONLY) so we could enjoy our days under our hippie cabana drinking rum.

How were you able to freeze the motion of the Bighorns with a 15 sec exposure?

More interesting for me in colour.

Thanks. Once I figured out how to fix the sky from being this giant gray background, the picture improved over the b+w version. I just needed ot frame it a little better.

Would you believe I hired trained circus sheep?

They are sculptures. An artist in Borrego Springs, CA has put more than 100 of them around the area. Here's a shot of one I took with my phone while I was looking at them all during the afternoon. (It took about three hours to see them all.)

So much to like in this shot, the brightness of it all really adds a lovely sense of calm, framing/composition is lovely too!

Was with family friends this weekend at Newport. Took this candid at Fort Adams looking out towards the Newport Bridge. A little boy was trudging home carrying a portable chair. His parents (carrying all the fishing gear) had kind of left him behind.
