Sunday to Sunday

[Black Pearl]

Off for a week and I am determined to take a picture...or a few...every day.

 

God only knows what they will be of or what the quality will be like (its nasty outside and they're likely going to be shots from the iPhone) so I'll just update this one post as I go.

looking forward to seeing this thread expand then... the first two are an excellent start... beautiful textures in both, and i never could resist a bit of rust

The first shot looks a bit like something I might have taken in the 1960's on my Kodak Brownie 127...

You too?  Mind you, such a shot would have been heaps better than my lamentable efforts back then, even though I was only 10 at the time!

Definitely looking forward to the sequence, and these are an excellent start.

Out for a wander down at Roker beach with the bairns and the mutt before dinner:

Just catching up here, BP, like the first two, and like these two even more. The first one looks so dark, and the different texture created by the waves is good, and the second, being so light is a nice contrast.

Number 3 is winning it for me at the moment - I just love that gritty sky.

 

I like the Sunday to Sunday idea as well - off on holiday in a few days, I may well give it a wazz myself.

A few shots from the school run this morning then a handful from a trip over to North Shields on the Ferry for a spot of lunch with the missus.

 

One of the great things about Whitburn is the duck pond, can't think of a better thing to walk pass on a morning for getting the kids interested in what is around them.

Popping to the shops:

 

A quirk of where we live is the Ferry that runs between North & South Shields every half an hour. For us on the south side its a chance to pop over to the fish quay, have a spot of lunch, pick up some amazing fresh fish and if I'm honest even though I'm over forty its still  a little bit exciting getting on a ferry.

Not so struck on the first one, but I really love all the rest - really! On the penultimate one, all those Xs make it look like a failed entry for Spot The Ball (or are you too young to remember that? )

[Black Pearl]

I've tried my hand at spot the ball from time to time - never won though

You'd have thought they would have created a variation by now. You know, a new picture of Wayne Rooney each week, Spot The Brain Cell.

A nice second dollop - I like the pub shot very much. Those tiles look wonderful.

I was immediatelyy taken by 'popping to the shops' but I don't really know why. It just appeals to me

[Guest]

some lovely images, if the person in the popping to the shops was in colour that would be a great play on words

An Eel, a Mussel and the Number 72:

Korky the whole front of the pub was done in these tiles and they're amazing.

 

Richard I have a massive 'thing' against selective colour - not sure why but it drives me up the wall....cool idea though.

A few iPhone/Instagram shots from the Lakes on Thursday:

Number 2 and 3 are just excellent. The square format works brilliantly well.

I love the first three, and #2 and #3 have that subtle understated richness of colour you used to see on J Arthur Dixon postcards. But what IS that feature I've outlined in red, which was on that other shot you took, only closer and in colour, with dawn reflections in the water?

 

[Black Pearl]

It's raised boardwalk across the boggy ground as the only other way around the lake involves a few extra miles down to Grange.

[ChrisLumix]

Mystery solved! Thanks 

[Heather]

ok im not sure if im just easy to please or if you are a very clever photographer but i love all of these images for different reasons, some have great textures, some provoke emotional responses and some are beautiful landscapes .... as i know im a very picky person im just going to have to go with the latter reason
