Shadows cast on metal fence posts, making them look rather like bamboo canes.

It got to 10:30pm and I realised I hadn't taken a photo today, outside was a full moon, so a drew a scribble using the moon as a point light source.

The lying snow has all gone now, all that remains are the little snow mountains where people have cleared their drives. Tomorrow they too will have disappeared.

I noticed several of these beautiful patterns on the road today. Oil spillages are nothing new, and there are often a range of colours to be seen, but I don't recall seeing such well defined shapes before. These were in an area where the lying snow had just melted, and I wonder if that had something to do with the way the oil slicks developed.

Narnia? - the snow is starting to melt now, but it still clings to the trees and the lamp posts.

Managed to get across the Pennines today, this photo is a reflection of the nearly completed new Museum of Liverpool.

Well I should have been going to Liverpool today, but the snow has more or less blocked the Trans-Pennine routes, so I went for a walk instead. There is about 15cm of snow, and it has built up on every available surface. The tennis court fence has mini snowdrifts in each of the links. This image is the result of using the polar co-ordinates filter in photoshop.

OK, so this one is cheating. I only decided today to attempt a 365 project, so didn't take any photos yesterday. This is the view 180 degrees from the previous shadow picture.

Just before xmas I was buying some cheap expired film online, and spotted a clearance offer for 77mm blue filters at £1.99, so I thought I'd get one as it fits my Sigma 10-20mm lens. This was a test shot of one of our xmas decorations.

Taken just after midnight, this is a view over Sheffield, and shows the traces of several sky lanterns floating over the city. I had never even heard of these, let alone seen them, but they must be this year's new novelty in the firework shops. There must have been getting on for a hundred of these floating over the city in the first few minutes of the new decade.

bit of a late start...

Having never blogged beofre, I've now set up 2 blogs. The first one is "52 film cameras in 52 weeks", but I got impatient, as there's nothing to upload until I've finished a roll of film, so since I take photos most days, I decided to do a 365 project.
