Duplex. I have just bought a new Hewlett Packard printer for my daughter, Sian, to take to university. This is a picture of a large opening in the back which I think is the duplexing unit...

Day 140 - Friday 17 September 2010

Brick in the wall. I have an apology to make... today was a very busy day, being the last day of the course. Lots of training to get in before lunch then the long trip home, which took a mammoth 5 1/2 hours up the M20, M25 and the Dartford tunnel, M11, A14 and A1. I was so knackered I didn't get to take a picture today. So here is another one from Wednesday's trip into Lydd...

Day 139 - Thursday 16 September 2010

Cheeky! During a 15 minute break in training I noticed some rather interesting pictures hanging in the NAAFI! Whatever keeps the troops happy :) It was very dark in there so it required a very carefully handheld 1/8 exposure at ISO 800...

Day 138 - Wednesday 15 September 2010

Window. Took a stroll into the sleepy local town of Lydd after tea. There are quite a few of these buildings with timber clad upper levels...

Day 137 - Tuesday 14 September 2010

Pylon. Out on the training area... again I have to be careful with the camera so I've confined myself to this picture of a pylon...

Day 136 - Monday 13 September 2010

Stained Glass. Day 1 at Lydd for more pre-deployment training. This picture is the back of a FIBUA (fighting in built-up areas) village on the camp. This part isn't real buildings but a boundary wall that looks like terrace housing on the inside. No photography allowed inside so I could only take this picture outside the facility...

Day 135 - Sunday 12 September 2010

Pear. Busy sorting and packing kit today so my 365 picture is a bit of a rush job. I took a pear from the fruit bowl and decided that would be my subject, I only needed to find a way to shoot it...

Day 134 - Saturday 11 September 2010

Red Dragon. I've been toying with the idea of getting a tatoo for some time. Today I finally decided to get it done to cellebrate finishing the mobilisation course at Chilwell. Today's picture is the result...

Day 133 - Friday 10 September 2010

Leopard. Back home again after successfully finishing the mobilisation course. The fruit bowl is full of ripe bananas and because no one else here likes them this ripe it looks like I'll be on a banana diet this weekend...

Day 132 - Thursday 9 September 2010

Ceiling. A hurried shot of the canopy ceiling on the Tesco store across the road from Chilwell camp. I was rushing to withdraw some cash from the 'Hole-in-the-wall' before the course end p**s-up...

Day 129 - Monday 6 September 2010

Puddles. The heavens opened late evening as I crossed the road to the 24 hour Tesco for supplies (decent food for the ranges!). This is a view of the store through the puddles in the car park...

Day 127 - Saturday 4 September 2010

Fire! House warming party today at my nephew's new home. Plenty of beer, good food and excellent company. They have a chimenea in the garden which provided excellent fun toasting marshmallows, and my picture for today...

Footie. Home again for the weekend and a walk around the garden revealed an abandoned football sitting on the lawn.

Diamonds. This was taken on the 'patio' area outside the Colours junior ranks mess after dinner. It's the shadow cast by a fence with diamond shaped holes at the top...

Day 122 - Monday 30 August 2010

Skip. This picture is the resultn of a challenge set by my mate Steve. I explained what my 365 project was all about as I was looking for something to photograph and suggested the blue skip outside our accomodation block in Chilwell. He meant it as a joke but I took up the challenge and shot a view through the fork slots used by the bin lorry to lift the skip for emptying...
