A series of images created in the garden whilst negotiating lockdown, and isolation moves through Spring.

What did you do during lockdown? I designed and printed some new cases for my Raspberry Pis.

A new dawn, another day!

 

Die Zukunft der Innenstädte wird so aussehen. Discounter wie Aldi, Lidl und auch Netto werden frei gewordene Flächen besetzen und die Innenstädte verschandeln. Alteingesessene Gaststätten werden verschwinden und durch die Burger Fast Food Restaurants ersetzt werden.

Durch den gestern beschlossenen weiteren Shutdown wird sich die Lage nicht verbessern... eher verschlechtern

Life under lockdown

02-04-2020

** UPDATE **

I posted this image at the start of the lockdown. Today I was so fortunate to have found this couple again ... I won’t name them but I was so pleased fate brought us together again!

 

They’ve been married 53 years and are still very much in love! I was also pleased to send them a copy which they loved!

Bit of light painting experimentation, lockdown is a great time to experiment.

I find that hands are useful

For lots of different things

Like buttering toast for breakfast

And putting litter into bins

 

To button up my clothes would be

Quite awkward without hands

I couldn’t buckle up my belt

(I’d use elastic bands)

 

I never pick my nose of course

But hands would help me to

And I think that I’d need slip on boots

Or maybe slip on shoes

 

Yes, t’would be quite awkward

If hands were just ‘no shows’

I’d have to cook my dinner

On my back and use my toes.

 

8th may 2020 at peak time on a Friday evening during the corona virus lockdown. I doubt |I will photograph Manchester Piccadilly again like this

This picture is almost straight out of camera, except for a couple of edits: A small amount of extra sharpness and a soft vignette. I start to shoot with Cinelook picture profile from VisionColor: vision-color.com/products/picture-styles-canon-eos/

May, 2020: Our dog Kaaley basking in a sun on the rooftop. He enjoys a lockdown as we all remain at home and he gets all the attention. This is a simple photo taken from my cellphone. The colour pattern of the wall and the sky caught my eye :)

Just up the road from our house we have been watching this dead oak fall to bits over the last few years. How much longer does it have?

American staff and abricot liquor

Just trying to illustrate that there may be several different and interesting compositions all in the same location.

Being confined to my home and garden means I have to look both inward and outward for pictures. This was taken on a Panasonic GX8 with the 12-60mm Leica Panasonic zoom. I only just about managed to keep the main flower in focus.

The local council is putting the oval lights on every weeknight during lockdown so folk can get out and do a little exercise (social distancing of course). So the kid and I did a little wander up.

Aberdeen's Union Street and not a soul to be seen

If it wasn't for the trees this would really be quite an uninteresting walk as the road is dead straight for a mile.

 

The daisies still pop their heads through the grass. Either the lawnmower gets them, or they duck down. Still as simple as they are, they are a welcome sight in Lockdown UK.

This year we decided to take part in “No Mow May”. Basically, during May, you leave the lawnmower in the shed, giving it a holiday and allowing all the small plants to have their day in the sun. so, we have left the top half of the lawn to do its own thing. The other half remains under the firm eye of the Mower. In Lockdown, that part gets extra attention.

 

So, to all those in England, Stay Safe”. To all those in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, “Stay at Home” until further notice. One day we will all be united again. We all appear to be much better together, just like the daisies in the grass.

  

Im sure many people dreaded this sight when the prison was in operation, but now it just makes for a nice picture :) infact it probably was a lot darker when in use because all the cell doors would have been closed.
