Yesterday I failed to post. It was my birthday.

Lockdown: Day Seven (290320)

This was the first time I went for a run after lockdown started. It was an odd and liberating moment as I had come through some illness and had not been to the gym in many weeks. I therefore wasn't able to squeeze in any visits before the final closures. 

I haven't been great at exercising at home and have lost some of the strength I started to build up. The gym really helped me to focus on exercise and I miss it. But I have been walking and doing the odd small run. We can only do our best!

This happy chap wanted in on the action! His posing was so on point, he needed to be on the blog!

My Scary Friend

My friend was trying out one of those charcoal face masks and I captured her trying to terrorise me with it on. The result of the slower shutter speed here is fabulously frightening!

A Photo a Day #310: Flashback Sunday

Joan

This was taken (I think) by my dad. This is his mother and my Nanna, Joan. She was a major influence in my life.

I didn't improve much on the original as it was already a great photo, but I did tint it and brighten a few areas.

A lovely roast dinner is being served up- something of a treat in our house.

Lady with Bag

People milling around looking at art are good subjects for portraits. I'm not sure whether I'm 100% happy with the outcome of my editing, but I had to do something with the background as even with a wide aperture shot, the T shirt logo was detracting from the woman's skirt design.

Man About Town

I took a similar photo of my brother in London a few years ago and I took opportunity to create this portrait on my recent trip when we went to see The Divine Comedy. I'm not sure what I think about the blurring. On one hand it suggests some movement as he strolls through the underpass; on the other it isn't as crisp as I would have liked. As it was an evening shot and also not posed, I had to work quickly. Unfortunately, I had to crop out someone walking past him to the right, so there isn't as much width as I would have liked. I do, however, like the range of tones in the image.
