Group Icon Competition win

Two blog posts on a row about the same photo, I entered this into the last group icon competition of the year for my 2012 year in pictures (group link here - http://www.flickr.com/groups/2012yip/) and because nobody else (of the 209 group members) put a photo up this one has been selected by default.

2012 cover shot

This is the cover shot for my 2012 year in pictures photo project. I cut the 2012 out of a large piece of card, put some barbeque lighter fluid on it and then set it on fire, I'm not 100% happy with it but I knew I'd only get one shot at this.

Blackpool illuminations

I took the kids to see Blackpool illuminations, wasn't a photography trip but I still managed to get a few shots, this is one of the better ones of a tram all lit up.

Yesterday I went out into the garden not long after sunrise and I caught this leaf covered with dew.

I have been getting some prints done ready for mounting as competition entries, this is one of the ones I've selected.

Septembers Mosaic

Here is the mosaic for September's photo a day. I decided that all this month I would take B&W only. I like B&W but I haven't taken that much recently so I thought one month of solid B&W was a good idea.
