Hiding

This female blackbird was hiding in a tree watching every move I made. I tried several angles but there were too many branches. However I did like the way the blackbird seemed to be peeping out from the safety of the branches.

Today is quite a big day for my blog. With this post, I have posted every day of 2008. All that is left to say is,

HAPPY NEW YEAR

On a lamp

I took this shot the other morning when it was frosty. The sun was low in the sky and casting small shadows on the leaf helping to lift out the texture.

On a lamp

I took this shot just as the gull was about to take off.  The sun was low and bright and was positioned slightly behind the lamp post giving a slight rim light.

EXTERMINATE!!!

The Doctor Who themed shot from yesterday got so many hits I thought I would try a similar thing today.

I like this shot because the limited depth of field emphasises the structure of the Dalek

Tardis

This year Christmas has been very much dominated by Doctor Who. This is a shot of the Tardis my parents bought my son. It is quite good fun with fantastic sound effects and it looks great in the dappled light from our front room door.

Present

Slightly rushed post today. I have been very busy and have probably only had about 3 hours sleep  in the past 2 days.

Even though this was a little rushed, I am quite pleased with it.

Abstract Light

One thing I like about this time of year is the lights. This is an abstract shot of one of my Christmas Trees. I used a wide aperture and threw the whole shot out of focus. I am quite pleased with this shot.

I am also very pleased because this blog has hadover 20,000 hits. Thanks everyone.

Flower

I think it is good to see flowers at this time of year. I like the depth of field in this shot.
