Foundered

This one I shot years ago with a cheap camera, I had bought from a supermarket of all places. She was a trawler carrying illegal aliens, and as soon as they had had it fastened alongside the dock, she'd began making water fast, most probably an act of scuttling.

Some backlighting

For the shooting of this picture I used two flat flashlights, one placed immediately behind the object, the other also to the back of it, although pushed to the left.

A nearly amazing photo

Well, I was that close from shooting the picture of my life, though, alas, it ended up down the drain, along with many-many others.

What I really hate about this particular holiday, is those ludicrous Christmas antler headbands. They make people -even kids- look like silly Martians.

Weird armchair

This one I found at an equestrian school some time ago, and I was fascinated by its built and design. I did try to move it, so that I could have it properly shot, but it must be weighing at least two tons, and no crane nearby!
