Eye Spy

The thinking man
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 302 Danilo Segan of the Launchpad team prepares to give a lightning talk. This was one of those accidental images that just worked.
Cold steel and glass
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 298 Buildings around Canada square in London. I took this shot because I liked the feeling of confusion that all the more-or-less identical grids of steel and glass gave; like being lost in a forest of giant, soulless, man-made trees.
Will you? (Part I)
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 239 Note: Yes, I know, there are 31 days between this entry and the previous one. They will be filled in, never fear. Finding time to do the editing is problematic, that’s all. So. The important bit. This was taken on the [...]
Market Day
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 196 Marked day in Lancaster, shot pretty much from the hip. Not exactly Cartier-Bresson; I half wish that it was raining and that I’d dropped the shutter speed down.
What whispers did these walls one hear?
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 186 The remains of one of the walls of the great church at St Benet’s Abbey, on the banks of the River Bure. St Benet’s was alone in not being dissolved by Henry VIII. Instead, it was made part of the bishopric [...]
All that remains
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 185 The ruins of St Benet’s Abbey on the banks of the River Bure. This is an amazing set of ruins. Not only are parts of the abbey still there, but there’s also the remains of a wind pump that was built [...]
The way home
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 184 The path leading to South Walsham. Another case of I-should-have-followed-the-rule-of-thirds. Still, I like how this came out. Taken through a yellow filter to bring out the sky and lighten the corn. Just wish I could’ve got rid of the buildings…
Dark side
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 174 I was trying to illustrate the duality of personality here, but I don’t think it quite worked. Actually, that’s rubbish. This was accidental, but I thought that it might almost work to illustrate the duality of personality. It’s not subtle enough [...]
Tock

Stumped
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 172 Couldn’t get this one to turn out quite right, no matter what I did. Through a blue filter to bring out the texture.
Verboten

Waiting for the the tide
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 170 This ruined old boat sits by the side of the road at Sunderland, on the Lune estuary. I assume that it’s still fairly watertight, since it regularly changes position; the first time I saw it it was half buried in the [...]
Vein
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 169 Taken close-up with the 50mm Nikkor. Monochrome through a blue filter to bring out the veins.
Drip
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 166 I’m usually pretty reticent about taking the camera out in the rain. I needed to get over that – it’s perfectly capable of surviving a bit of damp – so I shot some stuff on a rainy day. This was just [...]
Cliche and teabag
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 163 I’ve wanted to do a shot like this for a while. Unfortunately, this one is somewhat dull, composition-wise. Still, it’s a start, and I can always keep practising. Shame about the teabag, though.
With the whole world in front of her
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 160 This didn’t come out quite the way I wanted, but I still think it’s beautiful.
Beat
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 158 Back on the 360-odd days wagon (a thousand huzzahs!). This group of Batala drummers were playing at Caton Gala. They were fantastic – and only the guy with the ponytail noticed me. I do wish I’d found a better angle to [...]
Kinda Country and Western
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 157 A brief idea that popped into my head when I was sorting out a suitcase full of clothes. I could’ve used the guitar as a prop but figured that since I’d done that only a day before I probably shouldn’t do [...]
Music maker
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 156 Taken on the spur of the moment when the light was falling just right. She’s wearing my hat and playing my guitar, by the way; handy props.
Cool Hacking

Taok Vont
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 139 Found on the wall of the Prague Metro station next to the hotel where UDS Intrepid is being held. I have no idea what any of it means, by the way, since it’s in Czech and my Czech doesn’t extend much [...]
Infrequently used, I fear
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 137 The Morecambe and Heysham yacht club racing office at Morecambe. I wonder how often it gets used.
