johnloguk > 27.7.08 - Classic English Village Church? Yesterday was really hot and humid, and when you can't eat anymore ice creams or drink anymore ice cold ginger beer where can you go to stay cool? Well I decided to explore this old churchyard and get some shelter under the trees. Skellingthorpe is just outside Lincoln, about 8 miles from my part of town. The church looks very old, but it is deceptive. I've found it very hard to get information on it, but I think it dates from the 1500s, although it was re-built in 1865, and again in 1916 after a fire. It is certainly very photogenic. I have a small gallery of shots here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/5548064_iTvPM#339889684_BAiMi It took me ages to decide on a Daily from these. I did several sepia conversions, some B&Ws and a couple of nice watercolours, but eventually went for this one.
johnloguk > 14.1.09 - High on Grass :) Who needs illegal drugs when you have light like this! OK, the saga of the missing book. I eventually found it this morning, under a balloon, just don't ask! I also found £11.20 in the car while I was searching, so a double success. It also instantly relieved my stress levels which were stratospheric last night. Apologies for going AWOL from the Dailies, but I had other things on my mind. Now I'm back, but have 170 photos to process! Having de-stressed myself I decided that I needed a treat to finish the process off, so I took a trip to a new nature reserve that I'd not been too. The light was magical, soft and golden, the air was crisp and cold, the ground frozen where the sun hadn't reached. I'll post some pics when I sort them out, but this will do for now, straight out of the camera. Oh does anyone want anymore excitement? The police cordoned off our housing estate last night, imaginations ran riot. It turned out that a conservation volunteer on the local nature reserve had found an unexploded mortar shell while laying hedges!!!
johnloguk > 27.2.09 - It's a Collage Jim, but not as we know it :) This is a cheat today I'm afraid. Friday is always a bad day for me posting on the Dailies, so here is one I prepared earlier. This is the Red Arrows, the RAF aerobatic display team, and they are based less than 5 miles from me at Scampton, home of "The Dambusters" and all that. I've loved these guys since I was a kid, dreaming of being able to fly and going to Air Shows. These shots are all of them practicing, some days I can even see them out of my windows at home, who needs to pay big money to go to an airshow when you can watch for free :) If you want to see a full display there is a wonderful video here on Youtube of a show they did over New York harbour last Summer. It is 23 minutes long, but there is a bit at 11.30 where they do a move that will make you gasp., enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbGO1BBWt_A Some of you have asked how to make these collages. There is no great skill, I just use a photo layout in Elements, all I do is drag the photos into place.
johnloguk > 17.3.09 - Cheers! Well it had to be done didn't it. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all, and Happy Birthday to me. The beer is Outlaw Brewery's Irish Dry Stout, and a fine pint it is too. Dark chocolate, coffee and bitter malts in a glass. Thanks for all the Birthday wishes and cards, real and virtual, I love you guys (and gals). Oh, before I forget, you do know that St. Patrick was an Englishman doncha ;)
johnloguk > 02.02.10 - The Light The only good thing about a day of cold drizzle is that it makes cobbles very photogenic! As soon as I'd finished work I went in search of wet cobbles. Usually I would like a person in a photo like this, but I like the atmosphere in this as it is. I deliberately under-exposed the shot to emphasise the light.
johnloguk > 14.2.09 - All You Need is Love! The Red Arrows doing their thing above Lincoln yesterday afternoon, you gotta love those guys. If I wasn't a member of the Dailies I would almost certainly not had my camera with me to capture this, have a great weekend everyone :)
johnloguk > 1.6.08 - Golden Glory. Lincoln Cathedral on a night of drizzle and low cloud. It's been a while since I did a night shot, and this wasn't planned, but the opportunity just presented itself nicely. Last night I won a case of bubbly, which was great, but nothing compared to the news I got earlier this evening. I've just won a Sat Nav for the car! There is a certain irony in this because I usually don't like Sat Navs or GPS systems. My view is that everyone should learn to read maps, and that all this technology makes people lazy. But am I going to refuse my prize? Not bloody likely :) Anyway, I went for a walk after I got the news, despite the drizzle, and got this nice photo.
johnloguk > 15.3.09 - Rock and Roll I spent today at a place called Stanage Edge, a real Mecca for rock climbers. I took hundreds of shots and I'm not half-way through processing them yet, but I thought I'd better get a Daily posted before midnight our time. I think I might have made it by a minute :) I like adding this zoom effect to make vertigo sufferers suffer even more, it was a really great shoot, I've missed getting my hands on some steep rock, it was like stepping back in time, a fantastic day. I hope to get the gallery up some time tomorrow. It should suit adrenaline junkies and people who love sweeping landscapes and big vistas, oh and the odd sheep :) Late Edit; check out my very different Monday Challenge shot here - http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/gallery/7093288_hSxt4#492539426_KGc5f
johnloguk > 24.12.09 - Christmas Eve Fog was the order of the day today. We've had a slight thaw, but tonight it is back below freezing again. I had a wonderful photo walk round the Cathedral this evening. The combination of fog, floodlights and the golden limestone was magical as always. This will be a very familiar view to most of you by now, but each time I stand here I see something different. By the morning I'll have a whole gallery up so you can share tonight's walk with me.
