8/52 An evening tipple.

An evening tipple., originally uploaded by andy barratt.

I was looking to get a shot for a competition entitled "Song titles" but chose something else in the end. It's quite obvious what this would have been isn't it?

Anyway i was using the 24mm-105mm L and was quite pleased with the results, on reflection though i should have cleaned the bottle opener before shooting.

7/52 Going underground

This scene caught my eye whilst returning from a meal in Norwich where we'd parked in The Forum underground car park. Some nice leading lines and a bold '-3' on the wall. It looked ok in colour but i thought it had more impact in B&W.

6/52 Collecting eggs at Kumar and Carrie's.

Harry and Asha were rather happy when they discovered two eggs laid by Kumar and Carrie's chickens. I think Asha was the happiest, it looks like Harry had let her have the biggest egg! I love the cheeky little smile on her face.

5/52 Blue tit on the feeder.

I was messing with the 55mm-250mm IS, trying to get some shots of the birds on the feeder. This was the best i could get. There were 3 problems with this shot, firstly the birds were too damned quick, secondly they were only going to the feeder at the back which meant they were obstructed by the metalwork and finally the light wasn't too good. (Well those are my excuses!)
