A Spoonful of Sugar
Today’s shot is Sammy taking some medicine after a trip to the vet.
She’s been off her food recently so the vet has prescribed two things for her.

Garden Squirrel
Today’s shot was taken early in the morning as I was coming off a night shift.
Unwelcome Visitor
Today’s shot is a picture of a rat on our rockery. We had suspicions that there were rats about but this was the first time I’ve seen it, and what a bold rat it was too.
Town Hall Flowers
Today’s shot is from another walk into town. This is the flower bed outside the Town Hall.

Bunny Tunnel
It occurred to me today that with half a year gone in the ‘photo-a-day’ project, I haven’t taken a photo of our pet rabbit.
Opening Night
Fortunately, I am weekend off at the moment which meant I got to sit down and watch the opening of the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Another Flower
This shot was taken late evening. I had a quick search round the garden, with the iPhone, looking for something to snap.

Heads or Tails
We had a visit from my brother and his girlfriend and daughter and took them for a trip to our local family farm at Standalone in Letchworth.
Square Dancing
We went to friends’ 25th wedding anniversary party at the church hall this evening.
Just Browsing
A selection of people checking out the second hand books at our local independent bookshop in Letchworth.
Black & White Movies
Testing out a new app on the iPhone. This one is ‘Hueless’ and allows you to see the B&W effect live in camera.

Fly on a Stick
Today’s shot was done using the macro Speedlite setup I posted yesterday, with the flashgun directed right to the front of the lens.
My Magic Arm
My latest bit of kit arrived yesterday, a magic arm.
I’ve bought it to use it as a flash bracket to get the flash head close to the end of the lens.
The Graduate
So today we went to Nottingham to see the graduation ceremony of our first born.
She managed a First Class Honours Science Degree and received her award at the theatre in Nottingham city centre.
Grammar School Decay
Today’s shot is another on the compact Lumix TZ30.
This one was taken on a walk into town and shows the old Letchworth Grammar School which fronts the Broadway in Letchworth.
New Camera Test
Today’s shot was the 7th photo taken on a new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 which was bought a couple of hours earlier.
I fancied upgrading my TZ18 which is a small compact camera I carry on my belt for times when I don’t have my DSLRs around.
Russian Heavy Metal
Today’s shot is another late night effort in the shed with the MP-E 65 macro lens.
This one is a shot of the exposure scale knob on the top of a Russian FED5C 35mm film camera.
Lumix Flashgun Test 2
Today’s shot is an extension of yesterday’s, in that it’s another test of the Lumix compact camera with a remote flashgun.
This shot wouldn’t be possible on a DSLR without High Speed Flash Sync.
Lumix Flashgun Test
Today’s shot was taken out of curiosity. I had the Lumix on the desk and tried to take a shot on macro settings.
Please Play with Me, Dad
Today’s shot is a quick grab off the iPhone of Tess as she pleads for a game of football.

Snail Panning
A macro shot taken around 3x life size with the Canon MP-E 65 macro lens.
This was actually a panning shot as I had to keep track of the snail as it foraged across the garden. It is surprising how fast they move when you are looking at them three times life size.
Watford Cheetah
Today’s shot comes from an American football game between the Watford Cheetahs and the Milton Keynes Pathfinders.
Waiting for the Train
I went to London this evening to see Warhorse at the New London Theatre – brilliant, by the way, just go!

It’s a Flower
Taken in the garden. I haven’t got a clue what it is, but it’s on our rockery.
