I have been a Flickr user for what seems decades. I joined at some point in 2005 (an age ago in Internet terms). Flickr was the only decent place to store your photos at the time, head and shoulders above the competition. There was a thriving community, great tools and a generous free option. The […]
11/1/2018 Blog
11/365/2018 Blog by rutty is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA I love taking photos and I also like to blog, so each photo I take for my 365 subsequently gets stuck up as a post on my site. This is what it currently looks like. I’m using a nifty free theme called Cubic. I love the […]
1/365 Face
I am, once again, going to attempt a ‘365’ project. I have tried this many times and all have ended in failure. I’m not sure this time will be any different, but I have a bit more spare time these days & a bit more creative drive. I intend all photos in this project to […]

2011 Year In Pictures

8 secs
8 secs, originally uploaded by rutty. 8 Seconds – An eight second exposure. That’s your only requirement. 8 seconds. Not 7. Not 9. Eight. 8 seconds exactly here. I always work in aperture priority so it was good to try out the other options. I set it to Shutter priority (8 seconds obviously) and just […]
Graffito
I saw this graffiti while visiting Nicosia earlier in the year. I don’t know what it signifies (if anything) but I really liked it
