What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Six years ago it was the area around London St Pancras station… If memory serves I’d not got a ‘proper’ digital camera with me but had got my iPhone and my Nikon FE2, an image from which can be seen here.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was this architectural ‘gem’ in Derby. If memory serves I was on my way to the Brunswick Inn for a pint or two!

iPhone SE, Hipstamatic app.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Six years ago it was this section of stained glass in Rachel’s kitchen door, using the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone.

I rather like Hipstamatic for abstract little snaps like this…

Once again it was taken using the John S ‘lens’ and DreamCanvas ‘film’ settings.

A Happy Christmas to all*
