Weekly Photo Challenge : Creepy

/ Tony / 2 Comments

Well I thought I had many photos that I would call creepy, but on looking through my collection, I did not have that many.

haunted lookThis one I took in our local churchyard at Bramham. I had only just bought the camera, and was trying out some the features. It was only when I uploaded it to the lap-top that I thought it looked a little ghostly.

Sometime ago, we went to Crook Hall at Durham, in the North East. It was a beautiful place, and great for garden photgraphs. HoweveP1010648r, I did find this stone effigy, more than a little disturbing. I have no idea who it is supposed to represent, but think, given the area, it could be St Cuthbert ?

P1010062The last one, I took whilst out walking locally. What I remember most about it was that just as I pressed the shutter, there was a rustling noise right in front of me. What happened next scared the life out of me. I had just put the camera away, when a deer suddenly shot out out the trees and stopped in front of me. By the time I had calmed down it had gone, and a great photo opportunity had been missed. It still gives me the shivers though!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half

/ Tony / 2 Comments

This is the second attempt at this ‘Weekly Photo Challenge’ and if it is half as successful as last weeks, then I will be very pleased.

It was taken some months ago, and although not a direct half and half split, I think it just about fits the brief..

However, the whole concept goes against what I have always been told about photograph composition ie photographs should be divided into an odd number of areas. This is to create ‘further interest’ as a seasoned landscape photographer once told me..
