RJT-Photography

Archive for the ‘Photography’ Category

It’s been a good while since I last got a Photograph of the Day at the Photography Cafe,  but I was delighted to get one today with an image titled “Happiness is a Lollipop”, from our visit to Tunisia last week.

We visited a Troglodyte house in Matmata, where a woman lives with her 5 children. The house has some electricity via a solar panel, with a small TV in one of the rooms off the central courtyard and a piped water supply to the front of the building. The youngest of the children grabbed the bag of lollipops our guide brought and was working his way through them, even though I suspect he was supposed to be sharing them.

Jane’s POTD is like a quick trip to the location. In one image we have all the elements that describe living at that location. By having the subject so strongly off-centre we become more focussed on the empty walls and are given a sense of how little there is within the home.

Well winter has finally arrived, it was a chilly day down at West Bay,  but the Sea was as calm as a Mill Pond as we looked towards Burton Bradstock.

Over the last year I have been taking part in the monthly rounds for the “Enjoying Photography Photographer of the Year” competition.

Well the final results are in despite taking first place in the Low Light Competition, and second in the Weather Competition, I just missed out by 15 points on first place (the winner had 200 points). So well done to Tina on a hard fought competition.

I am delighted to have completed my 2010 calendar and have just sent it off for printing at FilePrint.   The full version is 12×12 and printed on Heavy Silk Paper with a thumb cut and spiral binding.
