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.........

The Title Me Challenge...12/08/08
The Challenge: This one is easy for our challenge group. All we had to do was take or present an untitled photo. The challenge goes out to our viewers. Give us a title! It will be up to the artist to choose the winner and it will be posted by Thursday morning. Come up with a great title and you can see it Thursday!
The Participants: Kre8ive, John (300m), Bill Pador, Karina Boese, The Curious Camel, Creative Deviance, Lady Kate, MyKey, Trevlan, and myself.
The Result: [Put your description here.]
This has been a lot of fun to do. I took a handful of quick pics in the drizzle at lunchtime today and then a quick play in PP this evening. I can't wait to see what titles you come up with for this image. I'll be as helpful as Karina and confirm that this photo was indeed taken outdoors :)](/img/spacer.gif "johnloguk >

6.12.08 - Getting in the Christmas Spirit
I went up to the Christmas Market again this evening. I was dreading the Saturday crowds, but I fancied a longer look round than I got on Thursday and needed a lot more photos for my gallery http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/6738542_jSM8e#431506672_8mWnT In the end it was great. I found the Medieval Market in the Old Bishops Palace, which was brilliant, and had some great roast chestnuts from this stall in the shadow of the Castle. The temperature was hovering around freezing, but some hot chestnuts washed down with mulled wine was just the job. A venison burger and pint of "Rosey Nosey" Christmas beer also helped :)
I'm hoping that the car will take me off and find some snow tomorrow, but we'll have to see about that!
