I took these photographs with my iPhone yesterday 8th January 2011 at The Wheel Restaurant in Ticknall, Derbyshire. One of my favourite places to eat. I have done a blend between two exposures from the iPhone. In one the top of the image was severely blown out. It is still a bit bright, the photograph will give you the design in the painting. Measures about 1.75m x 1m in size and it hangs above the stairs.


In the photograph below the top of the painting is blown out. I was taken by the geometry of the mirror and the reflection.

These photographs were taken during a visit to Birmingham Botanical gardens on Wednesday 29th December 2010. Some very exotic plants here and well worth a further visit at a different time of the growing season. Website here.

These are from my morning walk yesterday, 31st December 2010. iPhoneography this time, almost monochromatic. The landscape covered in fog, not a lot moving about.
