100 year hand

100 year hand

Through wars and through peace to now.

This is the first photo of just a hand that I took, and it came about by accident.
I was driving this lady to a clinic, and we had to wait in a car park. I had my camera in my lap (you know how you do in case something photographic turns up,) when I happened to notice the light falling on her hand that was guarding her handbag.
Camera on lap, screen facing up looking down for a rough sighting and auto-focus, I managed a shot before she moved. When both hands came to rest again I managed another couple of shots before we were called.
Imagine my delight (and surprise) when this image came up on my monitor.
Talk about luck.

'100 year hand' On Black

Another old one, I'm afraid. If you haven't seen it, I hope you like it. It was taken with my first digicamera, the Nikon 880. I did enjoy that camera with its swivel body.

There is a B&W version. -- www.flickr.com/photos/algo/118187395/in/set-7205759413845...

(She died just two years ago, having triumphantly achieved 100 years of life.

the road was blocked by light

the road was blocked by light

Another "screech to a halt" situation, - when coming round a bend I was confronted by what looked like a road block - it was the light: (seemed much more intense than I have been able to capture and present.)

Try it on - Black

Or On Black larger.

Arched toadstools

Arched toadstools

My annual Toadstool ring.(Sunlight only!)

From the same shoot as -- www.flickr.com/photos/algo/18939485/
which was my most interesting photo for a couple of years, until the powers that be wiped it out.
I like this one better for the sharper focus, and the framing archway, as well as the coincidental fly.

'toadstools' On Black --- But, please don't swot the fly .... as I won't take responsibility for broken screens...
Larger than life-size.
