The Claw

I thought that these budding plants looked a little like claws and so brought my 100mm macro in close for some nice abstraction and so that I could submit something for #DOFMonday curated by +Helena Martins, +Mara Acoma, and +Lynda Bowyer, as well as #MacroMonday curated by +Jennifer Eden, +Kelli Seeger Kim, and +Kerry Murphy.

I actually took a photo last week with the intention of submitting it for #LeadingLinesMonday curated by +Jakob Nilsson, +Pam Chalkley, and +CJ Sros. That's forward thinking! I've actually remembered to submit it too. That's pretty impressive for a Monday, all things considered. I think I need a lie down now. Google+: View post on...

Hong Kong Girls

Posted By on Apr 29, 2012

Chance of me stepping foot outside in the wind and rain today is currently hovering around the zero mark so I thought I'd have a hunt back through some old photos from four years ago and play around with them. This is a shot on the streets of Hong Kong, taken with my 350D, and it was the first morning using a wide angle lens (Tamron f/4 12-24mm purchased in the market at midnight the night before) so I was enjoying the fun of getting close, shooting from the hip, and still getting loads of features in the picture. I hadn't quite mastered the art of holding my camera level at this point and, to be fair, I still haven't. When I originally uploaded this many years ago I'd cropped out the girl on the right.

One Hit Wonders Triple

Posted By on Apr 28, 2012

A trio of music videos of songs that were one hit wonders in the UK according to the Wikipedia entry on the subject here. All of these reached number one in the UK but never charted with any other track. Yes, even the last one. Hard to believe, I know. Tubeway Army – Are ‘Friends’ Electric? The Floaters – Float On Doop –...

Henchmen

The last Friday in the month is Henchman Market Friday in Chichester and I really can't recommend it highly enough for all your henchman needs. From one-off thug services through to independent and fully-equipped squads of hired goons, whether you're after slightly-built, ninja-style personnel or traditional, heavy mobsters you can be certain of a great deal. And it's not just people; henchman insurance, outfitting, training, and volcano lair-acclimatisation lectures are all available at some of the best prices you'll be able to find too. So the next time you're thinking about henchmen, think Henchman Market Friday in Chichester. Henchman Market Friday is regulated by the British Professional Ruffians Association. #StreetSaturday Google+: View post on...
