Don't try to work with animals, heres our Purdey who loves Wotsits and is a right pain, worse than the dog when we have these crisps.

I tried like mad to get a decent shot but like my son and dog they won't play ball.

This photo is a close up of my son playing on his Xbox360.

He wouldn't let me take one of him again, so i took this of his controller in his hands while he was playing his games.

I nipped up to Breedon on the Hill today, i was going to photograph the church but my memory card was full, and the weather had changed slightly when i got there. I ended up only taking this shot, but ive now deleted my cards and put them in my bag.

Looking around the living room this evening i noticed how many remote controls we have lying around the living room, with the kids being off school, there was a remote control on each seat!

Why cant they put them back when they've done with them?

I didn't even try for the "Tree Rat" this week! then i used Picassa to make this collage and it didnt turn out to bad for a first go and i didn't even edit the photos.

Happy Birthday Sarah!

I ran out of time to take a photo during decent light, so i decided to "fire up" the Chimenia and took some shots in the cold. I thought i would have problems with my camera and the cold, but i had left it in the boot of my car so it was about the right tempreature as not to steam up.

This Photo seamed to be about the best of the bunch.

I nipped over to the old Willington Power Station this afternoon, which isn't used any more, between snow showers to take this photo from the A5132. Just after it was taken it started to snow quite a bit, and the sky went black.

Here's another indoor shot i took this afternoon, trying to get the squirrel. Our "Old Lad", Whiskey was gazing out of the window with me looking for the "tree rat" as i'll call him/her from now on. i think hes getting used to the camera now as normally he runs off when you point it at him.

Back at my mum and dad's for dinner, armed with camera, charged batteries, formatted memory card and then start waiting for the lesser spotted squirrel to show. Well you must know by now every time i take the camera he/she doesn't show, and today is no exception. I think i'm going to have to shoot one and stick it in their garden lol.

I took this photo of "Nobby the Gnome" converted to black and white, then made the Gnome pop with colour.

Sorry Carol, but i found Jacks old globe (not as posh as yours), and decided to photograph it. I used a close up filter again, and you can see depth of field really drops off. The one thing about it, it does make a colourful picture though.

I'm getting fed up with taking photos indoors with the lack of equipment, and the horrible weather. This blog is getting a bit of a chore too, roll on better weather. Rant over, here's another photo of the wife's Orchid now three buds have "popped" open, just one more to go.

I took this photo with a macro filter on the end of the lense, and hand held, should of used a tripod, but hey ho.

Stuck inside again with this rubbish weather, so, i deciced to climb onto the bed and photograph the energy saving LED lights in my bedroom.

I'll be better off changing them back to normal lights, as the light from them is poor.

Ive tried quickly to have three whiskey's on my photo, but it was harder than i thought. i could of done with a couple of hours to play but i struggled a bit. I couldn't get his eyes right even with red eye reduction, not that his eyes were red, also he doesn't like his photo being taken.

The start of a new month, and heres the first photo which is of the Xbox 360 Elite.

I tried to take the shot without flash and used a high iso to get a half decent shutter speed, but as you can see theres a bit of grain because of the iso.
