2 Cute

Photobucket

I managed to get this closer view of the scene...just got round to getting it off my phone. My phone is so old it doesn't have a USB connection - it has a funnel.

Composition: 
Pose:  Loving the way her pose reflects the boots hanging at a weird angle. That's poetry.

Cute

Photobucket

This is a variation on the game. I was trying to get a "Long Shot" - in other words, as far away from the other half as possible without any other people, trolleys or baskets in the frame. I have pretty much achieved perfection here; no trolleys, no bystanders, and I am rewarding myself with a large glass of beetroot juice.

Composition:  but it is a bit wonky...
Pose: , it's hard to tell exactly from this distance.

Saving

Photobucket

How is it possible to Save when you are spending, eh? Eh? Tell me that! Answer me, please. Because sometimes I look at a receipt and it tells me, "Today you have saved £4.50". Now, I could buy a take away for that. So when I ask the cashier if I can withdraw my savings, why does she look at me so weirdly? Huh? Am I missing something here?

Composition: 
Pose: 

Not happy. Saving indeed!

25% Off All Clothing

Photobucket

When you are in Sainsburys, a sign that says 25% off all clothing seems too attractive, so I guess that is what has inspired the futile rummage. I mean, you are never gonna find a pair of New Rock boots or military greatcoat in Sainsburys.

It's a nice picture. Bit blurred I guess. Not as good as my previous photos of the "Superman pose".

Composition:  because of the stupid trolley! How did that get into the shot???
Pose:  - bit blurred. (sigh) It reminds me of Star Wars, for some reason...

Fish Superman!

Photobucket

I managed to get a SECOND superman shot: here she is reaching for some kind of bottled fish, I think. Look at those dear little tippy toes! I don't like the basket being in shot, but overall, it turned out okay, I think.

Composition: - because of that stupid basket.
Pose:  Really, really pleased.

Free from Canned Vegetables

Photobucket

We'd all like a life free from canned vegetables, but here is The Superman pose! Superman doesn't need canned vegetables! Unlike Popeye, who thrives on them. What a pose! I caught it on camera! The actual Superman Pose - where you are too short to reach, but you really really need that item on the very top shelf! Fantastic, the shape of the calf muscles, the angle of the shoulders as she reaches for the sky...amazing. I have amazed myself. I'm going to celebrate by putting the kettle on. Very pleased.

Composition:  Look at the splashes of colour! Not sure why the supermarket looks pink, maybe a defect in my three pixel camera phone. But, nice.
Pose:  Up, up and away! Brilliant. The lass outdid herself there.

Nose tweak

Photobucket

The nose tweak. It is what you do when you are unsure of a price, or are wondering whether to do something. My other half has a knack of remembering all of the prices, including '2 for 1 offers' and 'buy one get one free' offers at a range of supermarkets, so here she must be looking at something alien to her. Cake decorations, I think. She recently spend about £30 on cake making products, so she is probably looking for something to decorate them with. From the looks of it, the silver icing balls are priced too highly.

Or perhaps she has caused that bar of cooking chocolate to fall on the floor, and is wondering whether to pick it up or discreetly kick it under the shelves. I don't know. Adds to the mystery of the photo, I think.

Composition: . A narrower depth of field would have been nice, but on a phone that has two games, one of which is essentially, Tetris, it would be asking too much.
Pose: , because I am pleased to have captured a genuine nose tweak in action.
