As my previous series came to an end, I had the idea to post some of my own photographs.
When my eyes were better, I used to enjoy photography. I had some decent kit and was around just as digital photography was taking off. Although it was strictly a hobby for me, two of my photos were published. One rural shot of hay bales ended up in a brochure made by the UK’s NFU (farming), another ended up in a coffee-table book about lighthouses. I wasn’t David Bailey but a couple of times, I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.
I thought I’d share some. All these photographs were taken by me, I own the copyright so if you’d like to use any, go for it. Just so long as you don’t use them to make any money.
My aim is to publish weekly again but this time, on Sunday afternoons. I’m just going to repeat this spiel each week, too, for the benefit of new readers, so you can safely skip to the camera graphic to save reading the blurb each time.
If you look at the category above (high on left, by the date), I’ll put every photo in that same category so you can find previously-published photos. If I feel a photo needs some explanation, I’ll maybe write a line or two to go with it. Like the last time, I’ll keep going until I run out of steam. Oh, and feel free to join in, if the fancy takes you.
I’ve linked to a higher-res umage under each photo.
I thought I’s share another landscape shot today, taken of Lizard Point down in Cornwall. This is the most southerly point in the British Isles.
We had a lovely holiday down there, it was 2000 and I was doing well for myself – we went on about four holidays per year. We had this autumn break in October 2000, and for the occasion I bought my very first digital camera – this picture is a whopping 3MP!
A good week all around, daughter was just at the point of going from crawling to walking, and I got photos like this from the nearby Lizard Point.
Love the wave action.

It was idyllic up there. I went on a path down to the shore and I remember it was treacherous.

I loved it there. Sun, sea, rocks is the perfect combination. There are downsides however – the roads tend to be quite narrow and there are constant traffic jams in the summer.

It’s just a nothing-special pub chain now, I think. But presumably, it is the same building that the stary was set in. No evidence of bodies on the landing!
