This gallery is now a complete year of Daily photos, and although it has felt like a chore on some days I have to say that it has been great fun most of the time. When I started my intention was to challenge myself to try new things, especially to get out of my landscape comfort zone and make myself a more rounded photographer. I've certainly tried lots of new things, had a few disasters, some near misses, and lots of pleasant surprises. But the biggest pleasure is always reading other people's comments and checking out their galleries. There are so many talented people on here that it beggars belief. I really appreciate any comments, especially the constructive ones. I am now moving on to a new gallery for my second year.........
24.2.08 - Ellis Mill. The grey drizzly weather suited my grey drizzly mood today, but I decided not to stay in being miserable again. A lunctime beer cheered me up, then I walked down the road to visit this old working windmill. It was very quiet so I got a 1:1 guided tour which was brilliant. The mill is kept going by volunteers, and they certainly know their stuff. I've had a bit of a play in photoshop, to add a bit of drama to what was a pretty flat photo to start with, and I'm quite happy with this result.
