I was saving my favourite for last, to actually post on Halloween. And then, predictably, I got distracted. Better late than never, right?

Enjoy your weekend, everyone.

Well, Goth Christmas is once again bearing down on us like a freight train full of ASBOs and sugar, and I’m cheating just slightly on 365 Bullets bullets this week, but then, no-one’s looking. I’ve got a short set of five pics that I took earlier in the month, and held over until now, because, well, they were too satisfyingly Halloween-y. I’ll be running them here on my main blog as well, because, well, why not?

I went to Apple Day at Borough Market at the weekeend. So did this chap.

I hadn’t been going to blog this one from 365 Bullets, but honestly, it’s grown on me on me so much in the ten days or so since I took it, that I feel compelled to. I know it looks like I didn’t do much beyond fire off a quick, semi-composed snap, and then throw it at the filtering app’s randomiser, but honestly, there is was more thought going on here than that. The photo isn’t an accurate depiction of the sky that day, but I had a fingers-crossed hunch I could get something that *felt* like it, with the heavy shadow on the building, and a bit of luck with the random filter. And, yes, I think it’s come out exactly as I wanted…

Yes, OK, you can have a bit of time off the Sunsets. But don’t think I’m done yet. I’ve got more…

Told you there were a lot of sunsets coming. Hope you’re not too bored.

I’m about to wrench my arm patting myself on the back with this one. You see, the way I know that this is good shot is that I’ve just been through a massive variety of settings and balance tweaks to produce different versions, and aside from the obviously fucked options where I crank one slider up all the way and destroy the shot, there’s not one of them I don’t like – the shot shines through in all of them. I’ll be the first to admit that it’s not a highly original shot, but today, I care less about that than I do about having taken a really nice photo that brings me immense pleasure. I hope you like it, too.

This version’s my favourite, but I’m going to upload the unaltered original, too, so you can see what choices I’ve made in developing this. You can see the original here, if you’re curious.

Back from a week’s Holiday in Woolacombe, down on the North coast of Devon. A week of basically, doing bugger-all. Picnics, playing in the surf, and just chilling out – we deliberately didn’t avail ourselves of a car, so that we couldn’t go and Do Things – we were basically restricted to what was available within walking distance, which was a few places to eat, and some surf shops, and that was the lot. I have decided that as much as I like city breaks, where I have plenty to do, there really is a lot to be said for getting away from it all for a week.

We got a lot of really good sunsets, too, so expect a few more beach-at-sunset photos in the next while.
