This shot was taken looking under a now dissued railway bridge that spans the river and footpath in Ipswich - there is a short section of track that still remains on the bridge but it has not carried a train in years.

 

Nikon D7000

Nikon 35mm lens

F2.5 @ 1/400 second exposure

ISO 100

Floss has been in a massive mood ever since Woody was featured last week so I couldn't let the month end without a shot of her too.

This is an abstract shot showing the top of an art installation in Time Square in Newcastle. I first shot this last Thursday then deleted it by mistake so today the sky was the right shade of blue for me to have another go ;).

2010 Challenge, October. Theme of Spooky. Taken at the cemetary by my house. Taken 22nd October 2010

I had another indoor photo planned for today but that can wait for another day now.

 

I was busy in the garden when I noticed a spider sitting quite openly on its web so I went to have a look at it ... at which point I noticed Percy above sat in the middle of his web on the other side of the shed. He was a reasonable size and his markings struck me as particularly clear so I dashed off to get my camera and flash which was still mounted conveniently on one of my tripods with a softbox attached. This was perfect and allowed me to set everything up very quickly and take a shot. I used a couple of wimberley plamps (quite flimsy but already proving very useful) to hold a sheet of blue card behind the web as the sky was quite cloudy and washed out.

 

I fired off just 5 shots before I accidently tore his web down bringing everything to a premature end ... I feel very bad about this - I was trying so hard to be careful but I can only guess that there was a long strand anchoring it to the wall that I hadn't seen and one of the times I ducked underneath to adjust the backdrop I caught it on my hand.

 

I hope he's managed to rebuild it by now! To the flies of the world however ... "you're welcome"!

 

PS: If this is not a cross/garden spider then please let me know ;).

Shopping mall Christmas decoration don't look so good on a gloomy morning!

 

However... Made it! 31 pictures done.

The lamp in the picture was the only lighting used for this.

Sometimes, you really need to break the rules. Street photography is usually B&W, but this was sooo much more powerful in its original version! No post-editing done.

My last entry for October 2012.

I'd planned to take a shot during dinner with friends in the evening but a couple of bottles of wine later I'd forgotten all about it so rewind to earlier in the day when we'd popped to the park.

I'm doing something a bit different this year for Drawtober. I'll be drawing my prompt randomly from 31 different lists created by artists as alternatives to Inktober.

 

Today's list is from Autumnical on Twitter and the prompt I got was "Smoke"

 

twitter.com/autumnical

A very dull, very windy day, and by the time I took this shot it had started to rain as well. Where are the lovely autumn days when you need them.

 

Photo 11/31 for the October picture a day group.

Not the shot I was trying for but the light was going rapidly and I didn't get a chance at anything else!

Shot taken for the Photo-a-day-for-a-month group . This is my photo for 22nd October

 

Had a little play with something different today. I guess it's one of those things that's down to luck/ perseverence / timing etc.

...on missed opportunities. Another last-minute "make-do" shot. Close-up abstract of an ornament, for what it's worth.

 

I've had a word with myself!

October 19th is STAND UP TO CANCER day and I have decided to use a picture of Barbara or "Babs" as she was affectionately knows to us all.

 

Babs was taken from us on 14th January 2012 by Cancer.

 

This picture was taken by me back in December 2003 during my In-Laws 50th Wedding Anniversary celebrations

Railway bridge at Herne hill

She keeps me here so spellbound

her love pulls me near to stranger ground

I've lost my mind there

Shot taken for the Photo-a-day-for-a-month group . This is my photo for 26th October

 

It occurred to me I hadn't taken any photos of the lovely Autumn colours we're having at the moment so went for a walk on the coldest day we've had! Unfortunately we didn't get the promised sunshine. These berries seen overhanging into an alleyway.

Busy night at work last nigh but as ever, after the fun part comes the phone calls, processing, and paperwork...

1/125 at f/2.8, ISO 100; EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 at 55mm

Yet another miserable day. Picked up a box of coloured straws and took a few quick shots when I got home. Not brilliant but colourful.

A walk (rather than a Segway) in the countryside today... much less dangerous for me!

Shot taken for the Photo-a-day-for-a-month group . This is my photo for 10th October.

 

Today I did a bit of prep for a couple of photos which is a good job as one of them wouldn't have worked out so I need to rethink it. Had thought about doing a still life from my list tonight, but then saw this critter in the garden. The sun shone very briefly to create a shadow, then I spotted the cat eating something he shouldn't and by the time I came back the spider had gone. This is a harvestman spider, official name "Leiobunum Rotundum". Usually nocturnal, so lucky to see her out in the open.

The last days of October and we are starting to feel autumnal.... finally!

My weekly contribution to the View 52 Group.

www.flickr.com/groups/view52/. This is my Week 42 shot, as for weeks 41-44 I'm doing "Autumn".

 

A lot of trees surround my garden so each year my OH nets the pond to prevent the leaves from getting in it.

  

Taken under dusk light. Applied two textures from the wonderful Skeletal Mess: www.flickr.com/photos/skeletalmess/

We spotted these on a rock on the drive home from the moor today. I can't think of a title, can anyone make a suggestion?

An autumnal 'misty, moisty' day so, once I'd ventured out to photograph a newly opened rose, I had a play with some textures.

I used some of Jerry Jones' [Shadowhouse Creations] wonderful textures to give this a vintage look.

I've joined a Group called "October Challenge"...the challenge is to take one photo each day for the month.

Day 4 of my 31 prompts from 31 lists Drawtober challenge!

 

Today's prompt is "Mask" from twitter user ERGiancetti.

 

I chose the eponymous heroine of Sable, from Shedworks games. It's a beautiful game that's going to stick with me a long time.
