I've been away for a couple of days and it wasn't until the evening of Day 1 that I remembered the October picture a day challenge. This is the only usable photo from the day, and it's a phone shot.
This is St. Oswald's Church in Strubby Lincolnshire. Strubby is the village where my maternal grandmother was born.

In 2016 my brother-in-law managed to ride the 60 miles of the gruelling Dartmoor Demon roadcycle sportive with 10 friends and family. He had (and still has) stage 4 bowel cancer. Tim raised a staggering £273,000 (which some of my kind Flickr friends also generously contributed to) for The Institute of Cancer Research who are at the sharp end in the fight against this terrifying illness.
Last night we had the final presentation of the cheque and a talk from Prof Raj Chopra (Head of Cancer Therapeutics). This money was vital in opening up new lines of research and furthering the ICR's work.

Took my bridge camera into town with me today and managed to find 10 minutes in the park.
Located in Queens Park, Loughborough is the foundry casting case used to cast the heaviest bell in the UK, "Great Paul", weighing in at 17,002 kilograms (37,483 lb).
It was made by John Taylor & Co a Loughborough based company, in 1881. It is the largest British cast bell in Britain, made for St Paul's Cathedral London. Many churches and others structures across the world have bells cast in Loughborough.
A short walk around Shardlow, Derbyshire on a beautifully warm day. The colours were lovely so not sure why I've chose to go B&W!
Shardlow was an important inland port and thanks to a conservation order in the 1970's many of the old warehouses still survive. Here is one of them beside the Trent & Mersey Canal.

No, I'm not going trick and treating, but about this time of year (or Easter) I buy myself a new bucket. Useful for those little jobs around the house and garden where you don't actually need the big bucket.

I really want to do more portrait work, so I went to Calke Abbey today with that in mind as I knew they had one of their regular "Calke Alive" events on whereby the volunteers dress up in period dress. Today it was World War 2. There was also a Tea Dance going on in the stables which looked great fun, and if I hadn't been on my own would have loved to have joined in. Children and adults alike all dancing the old time dances. I think I was born in the wrong era.
I had a quick walk around the house first to see who was dressed up there, and came across this lady who is a volunteer and was happy to have her photo taken. The light is quite low in the house, so I used the "put the window behind you technique" to get as much light as I could on the lady.
I've tried to give in an old fashioned feel with a touch of sepia and added grain. However if anyone can point me in the direction of some techniques for wartime type photos, it would be appreciated.

This is a shot of the large LED cross atop the Salvation Army building in Chelmsford nestled between Parkway and the middle section of Baddow Road - the current building was opened in 2009 on the site of the old Citadel that had occupied the site since 1974.

I took my camera on a trip to the shop to get some milk, and spotted the spider on the way, along with a good few others.

At the far end of the service tunnel under our house you can just see our slightly claustrophobic electrician....!

Day 5 of the October challenge (which I forgot... so please excuse poor artistic standards for the first 8 entries!). Fortunately I happened to be out at work and got this one.

This is another attempt at a self portrait - decided to get out my flash guns and umbreallas and try some off camera stuff.
This shot was taken using the following off camera flash setup.
Nikon SB700 to camera right at 45deg behind a white unbrealla at about 1/4 power (Manual).
Yongnuo to camera left firing into a silver umbrella at 7/8 power (Manual)
Camera and flashes fired using Yongnuo RF603-N remote triggers.
Nikon D7000
Nikon 40mm macro lens
F8.0 @ 1/200 second exposure
ISO 100
Tweaked in Adobe Camera RAW then opened in CS5
Converted to mono in Silver Efex
Press "L" to view full screen... NOW!!
Any suggestions for a title?
I know the EXIF data shows this was taken in the early hours of Sunday but as I was working Nights I consider this my Saturday photo :)
My first picture for "October 2017 - A Month in 31 Pictures" group. I don't have any particular theme for the month, but as it's Autumn, I thought I'd start off with that. I also wanted to follow a tutorial for adding the text and filling it with part of an image, in this case a macro of the leaf.

Photo 26/31 for my October Picture a day Challenge.
Today I specifically went out on my bike to take a photo for the October challenge, but when I got home the grandchildren turned up unexpectedly. How could I not use this? Beats my planned shot easily.
For all the October Challengers.... keep it up! (....then come and try a 365 project from 1 Jan 2017)
I was saving the 'gratuitous apple shot' for later in the month but events seem to have overtaken me... so I snapped this in the garden just now. No photoshop... simply straight out of the camera using the built-in flash (BTW I tried to better this shot several times and nothing got close so here it is)
A resounding win, and a cracking team performance, for Buckland Athletic U10's this morning at home to Chudleigh.
I took this as a 'banker shot' aiming to get out later this afternoon with the camera, but that didn't happen. The boat has fallen on hard times and is being claimed by the Pennywort.
