Daily Sarah's 365 31st December 2013 - The End! (CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE ACTUALLY FINISHED!!)

[whipspeed]

Cheers both, only niggle is the stupid heated windscreen that is no use to man nor beast. It doesn't get rid of the frost very well & makes lights flare when it's dark.

TBH I did wonder what the pattern was but it definitely adds "something" I think

I didn't even notice that till you pointed it out

 

[JakeT1992]

The clarity and colours are great! Really nice and sharp.

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

I like it! - very seasonal.

 

[Sonriendo]

Love the spiders web

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks all, this has turned out to be quite popular, even getting explored on Flickr. Amazing how sometimes a quick shot with a compact can do well.

Harvest Festival

Had lunch out today and then had a drive round a few villages & lanes looking for things to photograph and passed this church where the door had been decorated for Harvest Festival.
The door and stonework are also extremely wonky in real life, not just in this shot

Lovely pic Sarah - black and white always seems to work well with older buildings and the subtle bits of colour really make the image pop without over-powerring things

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

Nicely processed, Feels a bit tight, the crop that is.

 

[whipspeed]

Yep, would agree, I wanted it tight to the arch, but should have made a little space either side to keep in those little finial bits. Didn't want to go too wide as that would have lost the impact of the greenery.

 

[shotokan101]

very nice - I even like the selective colouring - though I feel the garlands as you get to the top of the doorway could do with a little exposure boost but that's me just being picky (AKA "Me")

 

[JakeT1992]

I like it. For me, it needs a slight crop from the RHS to make it more symetrical.

 

[Sonriendo]

Sorry, doesn't work for me at all

But then if we were all the same - how boring would this world be

Yellow Flowers

[shotokan101]

Why so they are..... and very nicely captured too

 

[Sonriendo]

I nearly bought a bunch of flowers today - must get one next week - it will keep me in shots for a good while, although I don't have the vase collection that you have

Very pretty.

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks both, Sarah I have a junk shop habit Hubby & son also look out for them for me as well

Free Wood!!

[XFile2708]

Classic

 

[whipspeed]

Made us all laugh as we walked past, there was nothing else, just this bit of wood on the wall.

 

[JakeT1992]

Did you take it? I would've.

 

[shotokan101]

Quirky!

 

[Sonriendo]

How peculiar

 

[kennysarmy]

Haha I will take some free wood and put it on the fire....it's damn cold tonight....
Enjoyed my catchup too....

 

[whipspeed]

Right, had a few days away in the Cotswolds, so no computer & not much of a signal, but I did load these onto facebook on the correct days so I kept up.

Love yellow flowers Sarah and free wood is z classic indeed

 

[XFile2708]

Thought you'd gone a bit quiet Sarah

Great set of catchup pics - 'view from the pub' could have been a shakier pic later on.. lol

 

[shotokan101]

very nice additions - love the "secret message" in Hidcote but the conkers is my fave closely followed by the onion shot

Afternoon tea on the sofa.

Enjoying the fruits of my labour this morning

[shotokan101]

scrumptious

 

[JakeT1992]

Good catch up, love the conkers shot!
Where in the Cotswolds did you stay?

 

[XFile2708]

Lovely clear shot and composition Sarah

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

Excellent. I do love tea and cake as well.

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks all.
Jake we stayed in Chipping Campden at Badgers Hall tea rooms Very highly recommended although if staying, book the room at the back. The front room has a good view of the village, but the co-op next door starts at 05:30!! The breakfasts are superb and the afternoon tea very good. Nice restaurants and bars in the village too.

Bit of street photography for a change.

[shotokan101]

Interesting change for you and the mono works well

 

[XFile2708]

Nice change Sarah - I've done something a bit different for todays shot - just about to upload it now

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Jim, I'm always a bit wary of getting the camera out in shopping centres, but thought it had to be done.

 

[vince31]

Some awesome shots Sarah , especially like Onion
