The Inkwell
“Taking the rough with the smooth”
Raised impressions of copper coins
Out of the Aquarium, smooth glass beads fool the fish
Under the fingers, some textures provide something to hold on to
gritty sand , much like the coastal rock it came from and
Home to a variety of creatures, whose armour mirror their own.
“Vintage”
#Challenge30 #old #Priceless
You can put a value on anything
but to most people family heirlooms are priceless
Things handed down belonging to a loved one that’s passed
Items with stories, tales and memories
Character ? certainly Age ? Definately
Its not the age of the item – its the story it tells
even if it can’t speak – it’s timeless quality speaks for it
“Depth”
Deep down on the sea bed
Eager crustaceans
Play cat and mouse with
The fishermen up above them, and
Hoping they avoid the fishermans traps as they
Scurry along the sandy sea bed
A Striped Tale…..or is that a Tail ?
What’s Black and white and Red all over ? a sunburnt Zebra! (sic)
When ever I think about an animal with Stripes, I always think about two particular animals….the tiger and the zebra
The tiger is Orange and Black (or is that black and orange ?) whilst the Zebra is Black and White (or is that white and black?). Both hide in the Undergrowth for protection using this camouflage
Now while I’ve only ever seen these two animals at the Zoo, there is a stripey animal who is quite happy to be living around you and I. I am referring to your tabby variety of pussy cat
Just remember to treat it right – or its ancestral character will come right out!
#Photography #Movement
The Analogue clock
It’s so simple in it’s operation
Moving seconds to minutes, and Minutes to hours
Each second passing into the annals of history
“Move the Camera”
Its funny how a couple of steps, or a turn of the body can change the view of what you are capturing.
I was stood by the pontoon of the watersports centre on Salford Quays, when the Canada Geese came up the centenary walkway for their elevenses.
In they came one after the other, heading for a grassy spot by the pontoon where a water bailiff had generously left some bird food across it. They all ate like royalty, and then waddled back down the walkway to the watersports centre, where they hopped in and out of the canal basins
“Breaking the rule of thirds”
a thought from inky.
“Patterns”
Behind the scenes
1st February 2019
A couple of Shots from the Lens of my Nikon Camera
The First shot – taken at IWM Duxford, in Cambridgeshire, Taken from under the wing of a Lancaster Bomber.
The Second Shot….setup of experimental shots with BASIC Clicks, capturing Water Movement. This shot was a bit of a group effort, as each part of the shot from pouring the water to setting up the deflector took 1 person each in its creation
“Eyecatching”
