I played the role of 'hunter/gatherer' today... My girlfriend suffers really bad from hay fever, and last week we watched a prog saying nettle tea helps.. so off I went to gather some nettles, wearing thick gloves as a precaution of course...
It acually tasted ok... So we brewed up a few pints for the week ahead... Lets see if it helps..
Typical Bank Holiday today... We went shopping! Although the highlight of the day was watching a huge 6' 5" brick sh*thouse brut of a shoplifter struggle in tug-of-war battle with a tiny little shop assistant over a bag of clearly not paid for goods as they danced through the store of a Boots outlet in a battle over some face creams and bath products!!!
As is typical these days, we all stood back watching the drama unfold as the little guy struggled to grab back the bag of stolen loot... after a few minutes of barging and shouting, the shoplifter gave up and legged it.... the shop assistant received a bit of a heroes welcome from his colleagues..
Snapped as I was messing around between showers this afternoon.. Was a little blinded but think my eyes are still ok :-)
thanks guys... can't claim credit for being creative I'm afraid... I've seen this type of pic on here once in a while and thought I'd give it a go... thankfully, no long term damage to the old eyes (he says hopefully...)
as an aside though... i read somewhere about taking photos directly at the sun may damage CCD's which is the main reason i've shied away from doing this sort of thing... :(
Great photograph, simple and very effective, nice un.
