Day 124 In early today. Lovely misty/foggy morning today so I went to try my hand at mist shots - makes a change from missed shots - and found it to be not so easy although it does make an ordinary scene a bit more special.

At one point in my walk I had to cross quite a big bridge and when I got to the end of it a motorbike whizzed past me … "Mmmm …" thought I "there's a good idea!" So I pulled up a plastic old stool that was lying on the verge and waited with a view to practice my panning. Left to right traffic I...

Day 123 Fun day with the camera I went for a loooooong walk today not anticipating or planning anything - just took my trusty old 18-105mm For last months flower competition I only had one entry and didn't take many flower shots at all. Today i cam across this one ... And a portrait version...

Day 122 The sunset showed promise only to fade away in the last few minutes. :( Fortunately I found these mushrooms growing under a tree. With FLASH!

Day 121 Where do the days go? 4 months gone already!

#1 and only entry Please ignore thumbnail below if it is still there. I did try to delete it.

Day 120 Not a good financial day! Unbudgeted dollars needed to be spent on my car for a new alternator. However that being said Dave Vosper is a really nice guy and did the job while I waited. He is an auto air-conditioning specialist and the original thought was it was the Air Con pump...

Day 119 A tad easier today - Took a few different ones but the flowers were the best.

Day 118 I think today is the closest I have come to bailing out! Just so hard for some reason. Does the first photo count? It's a shot of what was on the TV screen - Master-Chef New Zealand Judge. This young lass watches me make tea, do the dishes, cook and whatever else I do in the...

Day 117 I took the 35mm with me and I should have taken the 18-105 It is what it is ... I am glad I didn't have to eat out of this kitchen. There were flies everywhere ... A horse loving his wash down The New Zealand Mounted Games Association Finalists with the winner on the left...

Day 116 A Pukeko - disliked by many because there are so many of them (and I think they tend to attack other birds) but I like the colours. They have white feathers under the tail feathers but I didn't manage a decent shot with those exposed. This was hand held sitting in my car. Still...

Day 115 Got some different ones today. First - do you know your way around your house? We have a sign for the bathroom … go figure And then inside the bathroom are further notices ... Out on the deck is this lovely pot - but alas flowerless And tonight's meal was a crockpot chicken...

Day 114 It rained all day so I was confined to house! And thought I would give the "Egg balanced on fork" photo a go to see what all the fuss is about. Struggled to get it balanced until I realised the fork prongs were at a different angel to each other - with one being higher than the...

Day 113 I did try but failed miserably in the short time I had today. I was hoping to do something artistic with this old chair but came up blank! No time to do anything else so that is it for the day and to stay in touch with the challenge. Tried to get this to look like it was coming out...

Day 112 Around the house

Day 111 Quick ride uncovered a dog doing the darndest thing … leaping up to catch a branch and every time she managed she would hang there and try to shake it loose. An attempt at taking a photo of almost 100% glare. I can't even remember what the settings were so the exif will be...
