A U3A Photoshoot and we were asked to think about “detail” and that doesn’t necessarily mean macro-photography. To make it even more difficult we were restricted by the places we could go to due to Local Lockdown – we couldn’t leave the City and County of Cardiff – so its back to Cathays Park, a …
Sometimes after carefully staging your photograph, and cropping it following some of the standard rules, you then look at the image … … and think … “would that make two better images?” So what do you think? I think they might stand better as two images side-by-side rather than one. …
As Covid-19 Lockdown kicked in, the Cardiff U3A Photography Group started a weekly theme – posting a single image in our Flickr Group. I, of course couldn’t stop at one image, so here’s the set of images I took on the theme of “Isolation”.

A selection of images, ranging from building work in process in Trevi – with the disregarded poster, ardent tourists looking at Roman inscriptions in Spoleto, a hat shop and flowers in front of a ristorante in Assisi to a pair of geckos on Isola Maggiore, Lago Trasimeno.

A fun start to the new year, with a few shots from the old one. We were on a mission … to find the Christmas lights in Cardiff Bay. The only problem, there weren’t any! So I looked around for a) something Christmassy, and b) something unusual. The first photo hits both categories as it …
