Jack Wills at Blue Hour

I ended up in town this afternoon as Adam needed a haircut and a jacket for school. Although I had a couple of jobs to do while I was waiting for the haircut, it took so long that I ended up having to go in Waterstones to buy books. Jack Wills is in a rather elegant building just next door and somebody had conveniently parked a bike. We are heading off early to look at and hopefully buy a car tomorrow - all very well but I had quite a few jobs lined up for the morning and we will all have to go - one to bring our car home and one to accompany Rachel home (and I can tell you now that that person will not be me!)
Three GT:
1. I spent all morning tackling the accounts and the new software so I feel slightly less stressed by it.
2. I didn't quite get run over by an ambulance while squatting in the road to take a puddle shot.
3. iPhone cameras.
Jack Thingy is really expensive isn't it? Well done on the new software. I still haven't found what I want in elements. Kind of annoying.

I like looking in Jack Wills but am always the oldest person in there....mind you Lydia is more into grungy stuff these days. & looks like a boy most of the time much to her mothers despair! A beautiful bloom on here.....love the whole construction of the shot.
Hope you buy the car & you find a bargain.

@fueast some of Sulstan's gels are a bit crap.... And he may be left leaning but he worked people really hard apparently.

its getting political!

iPhone photos have got me out of a tight spot a few times on 365...... And the best camera is the one in your hand!!

@fueast the woman on the Royal Institution lecture has just annoyed me by talking about apoptosis (2 p's) when it should be pronounced apo-tosis - does she know nothing?!!

A lovely bright photo of the street with your bike special in it! I'm glad I don't have to have any new driver experiences now! Good luck!

@happypat physicist who did X-Ray crystallography of DNA - the photos were sent away for a grant application which should have been confidential but they were shown to Watson & Crick who then used them... She died of cancer probably brought on my radiation and so never received a Nobel Prize.

@judithg I pronounce it like that too! But I'm just proud I know what it means which is quite good for someone who hasn't even got Olevel biology. oo if she's about to kill a rat I could go off her. (the reason why I don't have Olevel biology...)

How very convienient of someone to prop their bicycle just in the right place for you, I always think of you when I see a potental bike shot!
December 30th, 2013  
Lovely golden pool of light - good luck with the car tomorrow

Fabulous shot with your iPhone. Do you have the lens attachment? Really like the cosy evening feel to this shot and Jack Wills, yes, been in, browsed realising I could only afford a canvas bag or pair of boxer shorts!

@lucypics usually one pair of knickers in the sale in our case....

4.21 and it's dark! Still we have Snowdrops starting to appear in the garden. Like the pov in this shot and the lighting.
December 30th, 2013  
Nice pov, - and a few square feet of empty pavement!

Fantastic iPhone shot! Honestly, who needs a 'real' camera anymore. Good luck with the new car purchase...Rachel must be very excited!
December 31st, 2013  
I love your angle. Wonderful capture.
December 31st, 2013  
Lovely light and composition!
December 31st, 2013  
Good for you with the software and glad the ambulance managed to miss you
December 31st, 2013  
A great capture of that wonderful time - the blue hour (my favourite perfume!)
December 31st, 2013  
Even though there is still no snow this looks really nice and festive :). Please don't get run over, not even nearly!
December 31st, 2013  
Just after your comment about "it will not be me" I read your Three GT as "three G and Ts" Hahaha. Lovely evening light. iPhones rock.
December 31st, 2013  
Love how you always find a bike to shoot. ;)
December 31st, 2013  
Oh you poor soul, having to go into Waterstones and buy a book ...:) It's a lovely sight, typically Cambridge! Good luck with the car and hoping its the beginning of a super 2014!

Happy New Year - happy snapping in 2014! : ))

I've never heard of Jack Wills but I obviously don't mix in the right circles! Happy New Year and I look forward to seeing your shots in 2014 xx
January 1st, 2014  
Great to end the year with one of your bicycle shots! Happy New Year! All the best for 2014.

Wonderful capture! Went on a shopping trip to Bluewater with Millie ( my youngest 17) took me in Jack Wills and we both ended up buying coats!! I didn't go out with the intentions of buying anything but came back with x2 jeans as well!
