I’ve chosen some Beach hut images for this weeks ‘Dan’s Thursday Doors’. I’m always drawn to them when we find ourselves near the beach. These were nice because they were all individually painted by the beach hut owners. We found them at Shanklin on The Isle of Wight, UK.

No theme this week so here’s a conversion I tried last week and was pleased with. It was taken in The Queen’s House, Greenwich, London just over a year ago. It’s a window at the front of the house looking out towards The Old Royal Navel College and beyond that, Canary Wharf.

These ‘Where’s Wally’ planes are operated by German air carrier Condor. Some of their planes are painted in these simple but striking candy-coloured bold stripes, inspired by “parasols, bath towels and beach chairs.”

In June 2022 we decided we wanted to get out to try a few different hikes and go somewhere that was new to us for walking. We both knew Weymouth so chose that as somewhere we’d like to visit. Back in the 1970’s, when we were growing up, Weymouth was always a summer day trip for families like us, living in Bristol. That was if my Dads Vauxhall Viva didn’t break down on the way. It did just that more than once.

This is my entry for this weeks ‘Dan’s Thursday Doors’. It’s the front door to ‘The Old Coxswain’s Cottage’ in Weymouth, Dorset, UK. Its quite an impressive door with a port hole and anchor knocker. I tried looking up some information on the building but couldn’t find very much, other than its a Grade II listed building. We spotted it whilst we were wandering around the harbour in Weymouth a couple of years ago.

It’s been a quiet time, for me, stock wise although the start of year is always a quiet time for my sales. I’m still trying to upload new images regularly. Most of my stock images come through street photography. However, the grey blanket of cloud we’ve had covering the UK for most of February hasn’t been conducive to going out anywhere special with the camera. The light has been useless.
Continue readingThis weeks theme is from the blog Stupidity Hole and he wants us to submit pictures of HANDS. So here are a few pics from me. I’ve processed them with an old version of Silver Efex which I’ve hardly ever used. I’ll be spending some time exploring it now as I like the results I’ve been able to achieve with it.
This weeks Lens-Artist Challenge is set by Leya – Only One Picture. One that you find important, meaningful to you, maybe sending a message – and then explain why you picked just that picture.

Back in March 2020 the covid lockdown hit the UK. I was still working then but we were sent away from the office, with laptops, and told we would be working from home from that point onwards. We were also restricted to only going outdoors for one hour a day (for excersize), we had to stay local and keep away from anyone else. That left me with a problem, what am I going to photograph?

This is my entry for this weeks ‘Dan’s Thursday Doors’. It’s a nondescript door that, on its own, doesn’t warrant a second look but lots of famous musicians have walked through this stage entrance.
