PHOTOQUOTO: I'm back!

http://photoquoto.blogspot.com/2008/01/im-back.html

Sunday, 6 January 2008. My predicted few weeks absence turned into several months, largely because I moved to a different part of England! But, now that I'm settled, and all those time-consuming, but necessary jobs connected with moving house have been done, I'm ready to hit the blogging road again. However, I'm resurrecting PhotoReflect. So there'll be no more posts at PhotoQuoto. My first post of 2008 is imminent at http:/ photoreflect.blogspot.com/. I hope to see you there!

PHOTOQUOTO: The Wyre Channel

http://photoquoto.blogspot.com/2007/05/wyre-channel.html

Sunday, 27 May 2007. Click photo to enlarge. The Wyre Channel snakes out to sea, marking the course of the River Wyre as it flows into Morecambe Bay. It is the deep water route taken by the ferries as they enter the port of Fleetwood, Lancashire. Here, a few holiday-makers walk along its banks, overshadowed by a dramatic sky recently cleared of rain, and the distant Cumbrian Mountains. The sea washes all man's ills away.". 406BC), Greek dramatist. Focal Length: Zoom at 80mm (35mm equiv.). F No: f7.1.

PHOTOQUOTO: Homeward bound

Tuesday, 29 May 2007. Click photo to enlarge. The wood-built fishing boat, "Helen Mona", constructed in Denmark in 1973, showing a Ballantrae (Scotland) identification code, but fishing out of Fleetwood, Lancashire, rides the tide up the Wyre Channel in the evening sunlight, heading for its berth, followed by some optimistic gulls. In the morning be first up, and in the evening the last to go to bed, for they that sleep catch no fish.". Focal Length: Zoom at 176mm (35mm equiv.). Posted by Tony Boughen.

PHOTOQUOTO: Cruising

http://photoquoto.blogspot.com/2007/05/cruising.html

Wednesday, 30 May 2007. Click photo to enlarge. Cruising along the sun-dappled Lancaster Canal near Ellel Grange looks idyllic. But is this kind of linear boating a past-time that soon loses its charms? There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.". Kenneth Graham (1859-1932), Scottish-born writer (from "The Wind in the Willows"). Focal Length: Zoom at 54mm (35mm equiv.). F No: f5.6. Exposure Compensation: 0.0EV. Photograph (c) T. Boughen.

http://photoquoto.blogspot.com/2007/05/big-shell-little-shell.html

Wednesday, 23 May 2007. Big shell, little shell. Click photo to enlarge. Two shells - both, I am told, varieties of the species Murex - laid on a mirror in front of a black background, with natural lighting. I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the beaches of the world.perhaps you've seen it.". Steven Wright (1955 - ), US comedian, actor and writer. Focal Length: 70mm macro (35mm equiv.). Exposure Compensation: -2.0EV.

PHOTOQUOTO: Tame calves, wild processing

http://photoquoto.blogspot.com/2007/05/tame-calves-wild-processing.html

Saturday, 26 May 2007. Tame calves, wild processing. Click photo to enlarge. Taking photographs when the sun is at its highest isn't recommended: nor, usually, is placing your subject in the centre of the composition. And as for wild processing - well, make up your own mind! The cow is of the bovine ilk;. One end is moo, the other, milk". Ogden Nash (1902-1971), US poet. Focal Length: Zoom at 22mm (35mm equiv.). F No: f7.1. Exposure Compensation: -1.3EV.

PHOTOQUOTO: April 2007

http://photoquoto.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 11 April 2007. Click photo to enlarge. The medieval church of St Bartholomew, Chipping. Has an old and engaging roof feature that is not too common, and which puzzles many. The south-facing "dormer" window was added to throw light on to the rood. Screen, and subsequently (following the screen's removal) illuminated the pulpit. Making reading easier, and the vicar more visible! No churchyard is so handsome that a man would desire straight away to be buried there". Photograph (c) T. Boughen.

PHOTOQUOTO: No new posts for a while

http://photoquoto.blogspot.com/2007/06/no-new-posts-for-while.html

Saturday, 2 June 2007. No new posts for a while. Click photo to enlarge. I will be "otherwise engaged" for a while, so there will be no posts on PhotoQuoto for a few weeks. My last post is an image from my garden featuring flowers. In the background is sage and forget-me-nots. However, the white petalled shrub in the foreground is a species I an unable to name. If anyone can enlighten me I would be delighted! Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding.".

Thursday, 31 May 2007. 61, 65, and more. Click photo to enlarge. Green and red rowing boats lined up on the River Nidd at Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, wait patiently for the first customers of the day. Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.".

PHOTOQUOTO: Beached hulks

http://photoquoto.blogspot.com/2007/05/beached-hulks.html

Tuesday, 22 May 2007. Click photo to enlarge. I don't know how many years these wrecks have been stranded on the banks of the Wyre estuary at Fleetwood, Lancashire. But time and tide are certainly taking their toll. A rusty nail placed near a faithful compass, will sway it from the truth, and wreck the argosy.". Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), Scottish novelist and poet. Focal Length: Zoom @ 22mm (35mm equiv.). Exposure Compensation: -0.7EV. Photograph (c) T. Boughen. Posted by Tony Boughen.
