Jul 18: photo of the month
Lots of competition this month, I seem to have had lots of photographable experiences and taken halfways decent photos of many of them. Here’s the best of a super bunch and it’s the moment that James Alexander Bradbury gets his name at the parish church in Wetherby. The photo was taken using my Sony alpha…

Jun 18: photo of the month
If I’m anything I’m a creature of habit and that takes me into Cambridge every Saturday morning when I’m at home. We have breakfast with friends and there are often others on the way. This is me with Mark Donachy who’s the guy who made the Red Lion in Histon what it is today. He’s…

May 18: photo of the month
I should have lots to choose from with the final days of a hard fought election and then an excellent week’s holiday in Sardinia. I haven’t agonised too much but this is one from my Sardinia album on Flickr (click here). Chris Sidell likes it so that’s good praise to start with! The man on…

Apr 18: photo of the month
This is a nice photo of how people should work together voluntarily to improve our communities. This is just a few of those who turned up to do a big litter pick in Orchard Park mid month. The event was organised by Andrew Chan (4th right; now chair of the community council) and Amanda Haywood…

Mar 18: photo of the month
I think this is the first time that my photo of the month isn’t one from my daily photo blog (jdjhiston.tumblr.com) Not sure why this one of number 1 grand daughter Amelia didn’t make that cut but for me it’s just about perfect. I like the back lighting and succeeded in exposing properly for the…

Feb 18: photo of the month
February can be a bit of a challenge for photography unless you’re in a place which is blessed with halfway decent weather and the photo on the left is a point and shoot with my phone at the church in Keyston. The photo in the right is the result of accepting my phone’s offer of…

Oct 17: photo of the month
Lots of candidates for this month with some epic (by my standards) pictures from my stay in Australia and some good ones too following my return. But this one gets the nod because I reckon it’s technically good (would benefit a little from cropping in) and I guess I got it by doing what the…

Sep 17: photo of the month
This may not be the best photo of the month, there’s a bunch of good candidates from my visit to Hong Kong and the start of my vacation in Australia of course, but it’s of a type and it’s a memory of a great event. The type is my liking for handheld available light photographs.…

Aug 17: photo of the month
It’s got to be the rose! f5 at 1/100th with no post processing, taken with my Sony alpha 58 SLR. And just to demonstrate that there must be something in the soil here’s a photo of another rose in the same garden which I took in November 2006.

Jul 17: photo of the month
It’s been a little thin on the blog posting front and here’s a second photo of the month in a row. When I posted this on Tumblr I said it was a bit of a cliche and the purists would argue that it doesn’t observe the rule of thirds very well and they’d be right.…
