A photo a day from the famous East Midlands city, its surroundings, and wherever the photographic journey takes me.

Round And Round
The 60 metre tall ferris wheel has made a welcome return after being absent for four years.
Unofficially called the 'Nottingham Eye', but due to copyright reasons, it's been named 'the Wheel of Nottingham'.
It's here for about a month. But will be very popular on Friday, when it's Light Night across the city.

A Bit Of Friday Fun
Believe it or not, the sun actually came out today. Hooray!
I didn't really come across anything worth photographing thought. Although January's tend to be rather boring; especially after the excitement of Christmas.
So I had another go at using the 'double exposure' facility of the Olympus OMD. It's something that I've recently come across, and thought I would see what sort of pictures it can produce.
Wandering around the Old Market Square, I saw this man trying to take a photograph with his Blackberry. So I took a photo of him. He then asked if I would take a photo of him using his mobile. Of course I agreed, and so he posed for me, while I took his picture.
I had heard on the radio that this weekend would be the last one for the entertainment and food that's been on offer in the Old Market Square. since late November. So I wondered what would happen if I combined the photo of the guy, with a picture of the sky ride.
And here's the result. I'm not sure whether it is any good or not. But it was just an experiment. I know that you can probably do a similar thing in Photoshop. But I wanted to know what it would look like doing it 'live'.

Horseplay
A bit of an arty shot today, as the cupboard is a little bare at the moment.
The fairground ride in the Old Market Square. The guy looks like he's enjoying the horses going round. Just hope he hasn't put a bet on one of them!
