POTD 19 Jun 2008: German Market
A German Market…. of sorts. German markets keep sprining up in towns from time to time. You know what they look like – lots of stalls crammed together, hords of people jostling to see the different products and produce. I was in Stockport town centre today and saw the town attempt at a German market. Some how it just seemed … Continue reading

POTD 17 Mar 2008: Not a panorama
St John’s Heaton Mersey I went out today to take photos for a 360degree spherical panorama. Sadly I haven’t been able to stitch it all together as I had some of the settings wrong on the camera! You’ll just have to make do with this reference shot of St. Johns church as the POTD. … Continue reading
POTD 13 Mar 2008: Walk
Walk I did go out today to take some photos! I went to the shops, took my camera with me and looked for something to photograph. I photographed the pedestrian crossing lights. Then with the help of Adobe Photoshop, I ended up with this “Walk” image. In case you are wondering – I did do the “Don’t Walk” figure too, and … Continue reading
POTD 20 Feb 2008: Edgeley Library
Edgeley library I went to Edgeley to look at camera adaptors for the tripod I’d borrowed. Didn’t get one as they were more than I wanted to pay for something I could only use on a borrowed telesope. As it turned out it was a smart decision as we had to postpone our viewing of the Lunar eclipse tonight due … Continue reading
POTD 17 Feb 2008: Flowers
Soft focus snowdrops On my way back from taking the shop signs photo yesterday, I spotted an area of Heaton Mersey, called Mauldeth Road Conseveration area, which was full of crocuses and snowdrops. The light on it was fantastic and I decided to that I would go back there today to get some shots of the flowers. I deliberately waited … Continue reading
POTD 16 Feb 2008: Take 2
Shops to let Processing some images today that I’d taken a little over a week ago, there were shots in Heaton Moor. I wasn’t happy with the depth of field on the photos I taken of shop to let signs. So I went out to retake the shot – got it more or less right this time…. appart from having … Continue reading
POTD 13 Feb 2008: Flowers
Flowers in a Cheadle graveyard. I spotted these flowers growing between the gravestones in the graveyard of St Mary’s church Cheadle today. I wanted to find an angle to photograph them which showed the location as well as showed off the flowers. In the end this appeared to be the best view. Often when photographing flowers having the light coming … Continue reading
POTD 10 Feb 2008: Bull rushes
Bullrushes This afternoon Ann and I went for a short walk to a little known wildlife conservation area in Heaton Mersey. I managed to get one or two shots, but perhaps the most intriging was the bullrushes ‘in bloom’. Looking like a mutant cross between a cotton-wool factory, and a dandylion clock. The photo was taken into the sun to … Continue reading
