The moon was looking good last night so I thought I might as well take a few shots.
I’d tried earlier in the day but the shot wasn’t quite right. A bigger moon, a gibbet and a crow would have been a great gothic horror image. A small moon, a rook and a lamp post didn’t produce quite the picture I was imagining.
Almost a gothic horror photo
I managed a couple of selfies over the holiday, because I was bored and the weather wasn’t much good for photography and myleg wasn’t much good for walking.
Selfie in a teapot
And a closer view
We were having tea and cake at Snape Maltings when I noticed I’d caught my reflection in the teapot. So I took some more, specifically trying to catch the reflection. The selfie isn’t much good but the triangles are interesting – they were the supports for the glass roof of the tearoom.
Finally there are a couple of selfies taken in the bathroom window. It was much more difficult getting the angle right than I had imagined. I still haven’t quite worked the angles out, even now. I just took plenty. Some didn’t even catch a reflection. I tried some without the small mirror but they weren’t as interesting.
Give a man a camera and there is no way of guessing what he will do when bored.
Intriguing bathroom pics
I don’t usually get much use from a shaving mirror.
I too am in admiration of your photography. Hopefully your leg will improve soon, so that you can enjoy walks.
Just read the comment above properly – hopefully ‘better’ means ‘fully recovered’?
In this instance “better” means it’s still a bit creaky and would be improve if I lost several stone, but yes, within these limitations, it’s fully recovered. 🙂
😊
That’s very kind, though I still have a long way to go in terms of photography. The leg is improving daily thank you – now only idleness is holding mr back. 🙂
Glad to hear it 😊.
🙂
I am sorry about the state of your leg and the light but the resulting shots were very entertaining.
Glad you liked them. The leg is better now and Spring isn’t far away so I my mood has improved to lugubrious.
A step in the right direction.
It is indeed. 🙂
I must now add reflected selfies to my repertoire. Thanks, they look intriguing.
It’s an interesting area for finding subjects when the weather isn’t very good.
I meant to add that the moon shot is excellent!
Thank you.
I like the interesting reflections in the selfies. What did you think of Snape? I think it is mainly over-hyped and expensive but with a smattering of good things here and there.
There were some interesting things to see. Tea and cake seems to be expensive everywhere these days. I’d go again, but only when passing. I have a few more photos so will discuss this at greater length later, including how I nearly fell in the river. 🙂
Oh no!!
You can take the idiot out of Nottingham… Or something like that. 🙂
No – not an idiot. I know how easy it is to overbalance.
🙂 Glad it’s not just me. Happy New Year to you all.
And a Happy New Year to you too! 🙂
🙂
I have caught up with you and Julia again, Quercus. Great moon shot! I like the rook on the lamp post. Enjoying your photogrpahic experiments!
Thanks – I’m going to have to start thinking of more reflections. I looked at some failed attempts on Google and it gave me a whole new view of the idiocy of humanity.
