Mixed bag from Kendal, could probably have done with remembering to take the tripod. Really happy with the rainy window one though. #art #photography #kendal #filters #rain

Category is Black Mist Filter and a couple of CPL shots. The Black Mist Filter is a tricksy thing, but the effects can be great. #art #photography #yesfilter #Meersbrook #Sheffield

Meersbrook nights. A fair few people came up to talk and ask what I was doing. Not in arsey way, in an interested way. Everest even invited me to take photos of the restaurant, which I might do to tomorrow when I get my black mist lenses. #art #photography #night #Meersbrook #Sheffield

Was given a wide angle macro lens which, when coupled with my new EFS 10-18mm lens allowed me to mess about with some peephole shots.

I wonder if any of the politicians involved in Sky One's The Wargame regret being involved in a scripted circular trap designed to prove by its own simulation that hard military options are the only viable ones. It's not a game in that no matter what the politicians say and do the outcome is the...

A different graveyard in a different weather yesterday. This time Sheffield Central Cemetery on the aptly named Cemetery Road. 5 more for the Still Remains project. #art #photography #graveyard #Sheffield #memorial

Came up with an idea for a series of photos today. Square compositions where the focal point is off. Either too much info running through and around the centre, too much blank space or too many possible focal points. A sort of anti-insta. #art #photoraphy #DSLR #Sheffield #Sqaures

I think the British Government should respect the wishes of the people of Piddington. Immediately cut off all government support, bin collections, health, police etc. erect a hard border and if they cross it forcibly detain them.

I was in Norton cemetery earlier and it struck me that each of these old tombstones held a condensed love story and that memorials in general were as much about retaining contact as loss, love as grief. #photography #art #death #love #history

Been out with the camera again. It was a beautiful day for it. Happy with this set of a local cafe Kopi and Chai. Took loads so I have a lot of hours of editing and developing RAW ahead of me #art #photography #cafe #sheffield #meersbrook #digitalphotography

So much for Travelodge changing systems, policies and procedures to improve security. Second time in a year that someone else has been given a key to my room. My advice is stay elsewhere as safety cannot be guaranteed in Travelodge. #hotel #safety #Travelodge

Learned a bit more about RAW editing this morning. Really loved the dangling seeds shot I took and I think I've been able to squeeze the best out of it without any post editing other than developing the RAW data. River also turned out nice! #photography #art #camera #nature #sheffield

Another 4 photos from today. Might treat myself to some prints next month. #photography #art #RAW #Sheffield

A blue can of Rubicon Mango on a yellow traffic barrier

A blue fire escape door with the word joke painted vertically in yellow

A building surrounded by scaffolding with a blue pedestrian and cyclist sign and a telegraph pole in the foreground

A gate opening onto a yard with a yellow forklift truck, red dumpster and pallets wrapped in blue cellophane

Shot in RAW for the first time today and I think, when I have mastered it, it will be a game changer. Just need to pay a bit more attention to the light meter and get away from my desire to have everything a bit grimy. It's cos I'm northern, innit! #photography #sheffield #meersbrook #RAW

A pair of lost spectacles on a blue fence

A large sign for Broadfield signs, other signs on a wall

A modernist designed window in afternoon twilight

A poster repeated the same face in black and white with sunglasses

Wow after the best movie of the year came my second walkout (although Scary Movie would also have been a walkout if I wasn't with friends). I want your sex is one of the most tedious films I've ever seen (well seen half of)

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is by far the film of the year so far.
