Weekly Photo Challenge – Depth

The photo I’ve selected for this week’s theme of Depth was taken at the Basilica Cistern, located beneath the city of Istanbul. It was built in the 6th century and is a massive 10,000 square metres in area. The ceiling is supported by 336, 9 metre high, marble columns – two of the columns have blocks carved […]

Weekly Photo Challenge – Express Yourself

This shot was taken in Gubbio, Italy and I think it’s perfect for this week’s theme – Express Yourself. While walking around the Ceri festival – when the entire town parties for a day – I spotted these two enjoying a quiet beer and lunch away from the festivities.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Serenity

This week we have been asked to post a photo that best defines Serenity. I took this shot last year on the island of Raiatea in French Polynesia while on a sailing holiday.  For me it really captures the beauty and tranquility of the Society Islands and so is a fitting entry for this week’s theme.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Shadowed

My entry for Shadowed was taken in New York.  The shadows across the path and the darkness that they cast over much of the photo made it much more interesting than it might otherwise have been.

Weekly Photo Challenge – New York … new possibilities

I have travelled to New York many times. It is a city in which I long to live, even just for a short time. Can I turn this dream into a reality?

Weekly Photo Challenge – Warmth

Warmth is wandering around a city on a cool day and finding a piazza bathed in sunlight where you can sit and watch the world pass by.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Yellow

This is my first entry for the weekly photo challenge.  The theme for this week is Yellow. I saw these old Kodak signs all over Italy.  This one was in Venice.

Photography101 – weekend 4 – wrap up

What a month! I’ve loved having the challenge of posting a photo a day and waited eagerly each morning for the new theme.  I didn’t post as many new photos as I’d have liked to but did experiment with new methods and got to know my camera a little better. For the final weekend we’ve […]

Photography101 – Day 20 – Triumph

This is my last entry for Photography101 challenge and the theme is ‘triumph’. I’m a little late again although it’s still officially Friday on the other side of the world. I’ve managed to get a photo up each day and have experimented with new ideas and methods which I”ll continue to explore.  I’ve communicated with […]

Photography101 – Day 19 – Double

I’m late with this entry and must admit have struggled to think of what to photograph. I was home too late last night to go out with my camera and even my very extensive archives couldn’t deliver anything that resembled the theme of ‘double’. This is not my best effort but will suffice for today.
