Moo you looking at – Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge – Horns

This week Cee challenges us with:

This week the topic is Horns. Your horn can be any of the following:

brass instrument
car horns
animal horns (antler)
Other

As soon as I saw the post I knew which photo I wanted to rework for this, it is from way back in the archives when I was using the Fuji HS20.  Not sure why this has stuck in my memory for so long, but it did.

‘Moo you looking at’, Merthyr Mawr, 2012.

Ancient tunes – Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Anything Construction Related

For this weeks B&W challenge Cee asks:

This week the topic is Anything Construction Related.    This topic is quite huge.  See if any of you can come up with something way out of the box.

So my first photo is of an ancient roundhouse at Grimspound on Dartmoor.

‘Ancient Construction’, Grimspound, Dartmoor, 2015.

The second is of what a completed roundhouse may have looked like.

‘Roundhouse’, Lower Merrypit farm, Dartmoor, 2014.

And finally as far out of the box as my thinking would take me, a photo of the room where my band Kantref recorded our album.  If you try hard enough you can see the notes floating in the air, the music and album are under construction, the photo taken at a moment when the construction workers have downed tools for a cup of tea.

‘Music Construction’, Old Schoolhouse, 2014.

Boots, Violin, Cat – Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Unusual Perspective

So the first shot is from as unedited set of photos from last years trip to the Lake district in October.

The next from a dip into the archives, a shot taken while recording the Kantref album in 2014.

Cecilia – Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Anything Related to Music

For this weeks B&W challenge Cee asks:

This week the topic is Anything Related to Music.   This is a topic you can really have enjoy.   Let’s see how creative you can get.  I’m looking forward to what you all decide to post.

So here is a picture of the marvelous Cecilia who came and played for us at the 2018 Pentreffest Rudry festival.

 

Mandals – Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Shoes or Feet

For this weeks B&W challenge Cee asks that:

This week the topic is Shoes or Feet (human or animal).   This is a topic you can really have enjoy.   Let’s see how creative you can get.

I instantly remembered this photo of my feet, it could equally be a candidate for Cee’s Oddball challenge as I have no idea why I took it.  I have used it before for a WPC but thought given it fits the bill I would rework it.  Even at this reduced resolution I advise against pixel peeping if you do not like feet or toenails!
