Prey (and an eclipse!)

A quick post today as I don’t want to miss the eclipse (it’s getting darker as I type!).

So here’s a picture I quite like that I took the other day. The lion looks much too friendly to pounce, doesn’t it. Doesn’t it?

I took a similar picture on film too, so you might see that at some pint as well.

UPDATE!

My eclipse photos, taken with my ancient 8 megapixel Canon S2IS bridge camera with two ND filters Blu Tac’ed to the front. I doubt they’ll impress NASA, but I’m still glad to have gotten them.

Timelessness

This picture was taken half way up Steep Hill in Lincoln. I really like the timeless feel it evokes. Maybe the cyclist’s helmet gives it away but, apart from that and the lone cable (and possibly the bike, whose evolution I’m not familiar enough with to say how it might date the image), it feels like it could have been taken any time in the last century.
