Day 18 - Looking For Holidays

Well it's that time of year again - hubby is hunting the internet for cheap holiday deals so here is a shot taken last year to get those memories flowing :)

Day 17 - Barn Owl

One of my fairly early bird shots but definitely one of my favourites and one of my best I think.

Day 16 - Just some clouds

Popped over to Cambridge yesterday for the Handmade craft fair - got some lovely shots of my fellow Etsians and their wares but spent so much time chatting, I didn't get out and about in the town itself so here's a shot from the car on the way home :)

Day 15 - Cherries

Just some cherries but on black for a change from white! I also had a little play with vignetting - not sure if I like it or not - maybe I just need to get used to it.

Day 14 - Bubbles?

I actually got my 'big' camera out today - had some inspiration for some stock shots and a different way of lighting them. That was all working well when I stopped for some lunch. This shot isn't actually bubbles although I think it does look like them - it's the condensation on the cling film over my tuna pasta bake just as it came out of the fridge!

Day 13 - Lioness

One of my lion photos from the zoo - it's difficult to get good images these days at zoos - most of them seem to have replaced wire mesh enclosures with glass so not only do you get bad reflections, you also get the kiddies dirty hand marks on the outside and the animals snorting on the inside.

Day 12 - Try April Fooling this Guy!

We have an annual Puppet Festival in our town and this guy is probably the most popular of them all. He's probably about 8 feet tall, fully articulated and sings classics by Frank Sinatra. Kids follow him very closely then shriek and run away when he turns around but they all creep back very quickly. His name is Titan and you can see more images here if you're interested. I would definitely recommend this act if you are organising any large event - he is fab!
