Day 28

Caephilly Ladies Choir
Here we are down the bay (Yes, WE!) That's Liz, Laura and me.
I know, I couldn't believe it either. I was down the Bay
and not on my own !?! Unfortunately I left the memory
card in the Laptop so I had to use the phone..
Ummm

Day 26

Ummmm....
This didn't turn out quite as I planned. I tried to catch
it with my D90 but had left the memory card at
home (?!) It had potential... (don't look too close)

No details available.

Day 24

Fire??
Ok, to the casual eye this looks like a boring waste of a picture. And infact, it is a boring waste of a picture. But if you look closely you'll see a fire engine right of centre (yeah, this was the best I could get !?) Quite what was going on I don't know but the garage was closed for about an hour..

Day 23

 

A Rat's eye view.

This is the shop at A&P as seen from the fridge. 

I can imagine this was probably the last thing the 

poisoned rat saw as he clutched his stomach in pain.. 

or probably not..

The day after..

If only I'd got up half an hour earlier this morning I

could have got some gorgeous shots of the frozen 

wood. As it happens all I could get was this..

Day 17

 

Pot hole madness...

To the casual observer these may look like small,

insignificant holes in the road... But on a bike, in the 

dark and the rain they're a nightmare... 

Not to mention the punctures they've caused...

Day 16

 

Hereford Cattle Market

I ended up here today after picking up some parts. So, I figured I'd get a shot before they knock it all down to make way for the Edgar Street Development. Of course knowing the Hereford Council it won't be for another 10 to 20 years or so...

Day 15

 

Typical Monday at A&P.

Again this was a lazy shot taken with my Phone.

It was a miserable, wet day today but I think the 

grainy, black and white conversion looks kinda cool...

Here's a late night self portrait. Weather's been

pretty crap today so I resorted to another last minute phone shot...I know, lame..

Day 7

 

Ummm... Considering this is Sunday, 

this is my offering ??

Today turned out lazy and I didn't get out 

the house as planned.

So here's Graham sat watching the 

Scotland/France 6 Nations game. 

Taken with my phone (yes, I did say lazy!) 

and converted to B and W in photoshop.

Note to self: Must try harder.. this is very lame..

Day 5

Ok, let me explain. For today's picture I'd captured a very 'arty' picture of a... erm... dirty window (you had to see it) on my phone. Anyway, needless to say without my card reader I can't get the picture off the phone.. Which leads me to this.

Here you can see Paz the cat curled up in the corner of the caravan. I added a sepia effect in camera to make it look old. So in years to come we can look back with fondness... Well, you never know.?

an old man's hands.

Day 2

Ok, this looks fairly mundane. The car at the bottom left belongs to a customer who, shortly, plans to trade it in. Now here's the thing. The only fault with the car is (as you can see) the off side indicator stays on. In order to repair this it needs a BCM (Body control module) which costs £500 plus, and has to be installed by the dealer. Luckly we managed to pursude the customer not to bother for the sake of scrappage and instead 'blew' the bulbs... The End..
