Week 1 : Food

Just happened to have my Nikon Zf and Voigtlander 40mm F/1.4 round my neck today when taking Likkle Grandson's Libraray books back.

I'm impressed if your Likkle Grandson is cooking from Si & Dave's book !

No - Bluey & Bingo for him :)

Good in the title and the photo - nice use of lateral thinking and of the opportunity.
 
A different take on the theme, and a very good use of DoF.
 
Nice focus on the book and just the right sort of food for the time of year/weather, 2nd helpings good as well.
 
That’s was good idea to use a cookbook. Nicely framed and my eye was drawn to the other food related books too.
 
Good subject matter, and as always a well executed image. I'm surprised no one else used books to be honest.
 
Nice take on the theme Dave, did you actually cook anything using their recipes?
 
Week 2 : Cold and wide angle tech (21mm FF). Stone cut graves solid with ice at St Peter's Chapel Ruin at Heysham Head this lunchtime. It was about -3DegC.

These 6 graves are carved into the natural bedrock. Their exact date is uncertain, but they probably date to about the tenth century. All of them have socket holes, probably intended for timber crosses, at the head end.

Excellent first couple of images, I really like the lateral thinking of the first, and the graves are a very apposite subject both literally and figuratively cold. very good.

Cheers Lindsay :)
 
You're lucky I'm commenting on everything at the moment, otherwise I would have missed this was Wide Angle...
Seems kinda weird to carve graves out of rock like that, at least to modern sensibilities - but then I guess we build mausoleums, so that's not very different.
I'm not really sure what to say about them other than that the photo is well taken, hard to comment more as this isn't really my genre.
 
Good image and interesting explanation. Ticks both theme and tech.
 
A lovely image Dave, the light is beautiful. I like the use of the wide angle to show the graves in connection with the surrounding landscape. I find that period of history fascinating.

Ta Tim.
Check out the album cover "The Best of Black Sabbath" for some added interest :)

Thanks Pete :)
 
Black Sabbath album cover, fascinating. There was a documentary (Sky?) “The art of the album cover” about the golden age Dark Side Of The Moon etc, the lengths they went to in the pre-digital age. Great film, I still have the recording to watch again.

I'll see if I can get hold of that :)
 
That's a fascinating shot, stone graves I would never have thought that was a thing. Definitely cold!
