Creating photographic art cards #photography
A number of artists have done art cards about the size of a postcard. Jean-Michel Basquiat sold his art cards in a cafe and they were bought by Andy Warhol launching his career as an artist. I decided to take some photos and then have a little competition in our local history group that I […]

Brainwashing, photography and deliveries. #ramble
It’s Sunday morning, so I’ll share my thoughts with you, as usual. This evening there will be a minute’s silence in memory of Elizabeth II. It will be the funeral at 11 on Monday morning. During the pandemic, people claimed that they were being “brainwashed” and controlled by the media. The media is really brainwashing […]

Autumnal thoughts. #ramble
It is Sunday morning and so once again I’ll share my thoughts with you. What’s on my mind this week? The changing of the seasons and my increasing energy costs! My health has also been a problem to worry about too. My fixed price contract for energy ended on the 31st of August and so […]

Life isn’t so bad… #ramble
If you’re a regular reader you’ll know I share my thoughts with you on Sundays, write about photography on Tuesdays and finance on Fridays. I have been remiss and missed writing the Sunday post again. So today should be photography. I’ll do a mixed post today to catch up on stuff I have not shared […]

Building an archive #photography
Most photographers build an archive of photographs and as a blogger, I have a photograph to suit most topics. I don’t have too much room on this site to store them though, so try to upload pictures like the one above that I can use on finance posts. Food photos can attract a lot of […]

Who will replace Bozo? #ramble
It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m late writing today’s ramble. I usually tell you what’s on my mind on Sunday morning. I went out this afternoon with the intention of photographing something. I nearly photographed some shops but they all have shutters over the windows so didn’t look very attractive. I checked out Wednesbury town centre […]

Photo-Ideas. #photography
This is Bromwich Hall, a 12th or 13th century Manor House in West Bromwich. In this picture, I have photographed just part of the building so making it appear a little secluded. It is owned by Sandwell Council and you can often visit it when they open it to the public for guided tours or […]

Camera settings on a DSLR #photography
If you’re new to photography the first thing to think about is composition. In the above photo, I’ve included a bench in the foreground to give the picture depth and the trees also add to the sense of depth. The path gives me leading lines and they lead to Highfields House which is in West […]

The next PM? #ramble
It is Sunday morning and here in the UK the sun is shining and it is a pleasant 20C with a cool breeze. I haven’t written so many posts this week as I haven’t been too well. I keep on going, though. New PM? The battle for leadership of the Tory party continues with Liz […]

In the dark #photography
Today’s picture is of a Midland Metro tram and obviously, the only light available is the lighting at the tram stop and in the tram itself. If something is lit up like that tram that makes getting the shot much easier. There wasn’t much light and so I raised the ISO to 3500 and took […]
