Unnatural End


UnnaturalEnd by mirageII, on Flickr

This is a picture of my window after a ring necked dove flew into it at top speed. Unfortunately the bird died but it left a lasting impression with me (and the window).

If you look closely you can see the beak, eyes and all the feather detail in the chest.

EF 24-105mm @ 65mm with 500D Close up lens

I was invited to photograph some Pelote Basque matches. This is the bare hands game (although they do have band aids around the fingers, I can tell you that hitting the ball REALLY REALLY hurts), which is the slowest yet most physical in terms of running about.

You obviously don't see it live, but after looking at the pictures we couldn't get over how much this guy bent his arm backward. Even he was surprised !!

Boulders at Moereki Beach



Moereki on the East coast of New Zealand's South Island is famous for the large, spherical boulders on its beach. These look quite other-worldly, like giant alien eggs, so when passing through this weekend, I thought them a perfect subject for this month's assignment!

Panasonic Lumix LX5, JPEG from camera, no PP
Aperture Priority, f5, 1/2000, 80 ISO, 24mm equivalent

PS - yes, this means an LX5 review is in the works...!

I walked past someone's front garden today...



Hmmm... is that a... bird.... mummy...??
The outside appears to be painted cloth from a dress or something... That's not normal...

And that human form... surely just a statue... is it? Those clothes... seem real... but treated with... something...

Do I smell some faint odour... emba...

I had a few ideas but the others needed more time, which I've ran out of! So have this rubber duck. Some day I want to see what the real ones down the park make of it.
