    Gallery: three is an odd number

    March 24, 2023 / 45 Comments

    The items in this collection of images are pretty random and some are definitely odd. Really the only thing that unites them is their threeness, although coincidentally there are three sets of very different pigs!

    Gallery: art comes in threes

    July 22, 2022 / 29 Comments

    For my next set of Thursday Trios I am focusing on art. I’ve borrowed a quote from Camus, a French author and philosopher, an absurdist and existentialist. I've also arguably borrowed a certain sense of the absurd for this gallery, but I don’t claim it to be philosophical in any sense!

    Gallery: three flowers, three fruits

    June 16, 2022 / 32 Comments

    There are always flowers, and for those of us in the northern hemisphere, especially at this time of year. Is there a photographer anywhere, I wonder, who doesn't want both to see them and to capture them forever?

    Gallery: feathered friends in threes

    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

    Gallery: building in threes

    May 13, 2022 / 23 Comments

    According to Sherlock Holmes, 'There must be something comforting about three. People always give up after three.' Hopefully this isn’t true of architects and builders; we would all be very short of homes, schools, offices, etc. etc. if they were to give up after three!

    Gallery: three lamps lighting the way

    April 21, 2022 / 28 Comments

    I always enjoy photographing beautiful street lamps, so for Thursday Trios this week I had a trawl through my archives to find some in groups of three. While I was about it I discovered some other lighting threesomes too. So here’s small gallery of lamp trios, indoors and out.

    Gallery: tripling the impact

    April 8, 2022 / 23 Comments

    Why erect one monument when you can erect three? If something is worth commemorating then let’s make a big impact by tripling up!

    Gallery: three times the fun in Costa Rica

    March 11, 2022 / 34 Comments

    Once you recognise that groups of three are visually among the most interesting photographic subjects you can find, you start to look for them everywhere. But they aren’t always easy to find. Having participated a couple of times in Mama Cormier’s Thursday Trios I was keen to join in again. So on our recent trip to Costa Rica I kept my eyes open for possible threesomes.

    Gallery: when three is better than two

    January 21, 2022 / 49 Comments

    It's said that two is company, three a crowd. But when taking wildlife photos I’m always happy to have a third animal join the shot! Designers have long recognised that an odd number of items is more effective at capturing your gaze. Odd numbers force your eyes to move around the group and that forced movement is the heart of visual interest.

    Gallery: taking on a new challenge

    January 14, 2022 / 34 Comments

    Is there room in my blogging life for a new challenge? Possibly not, but when I came across Thursday Trios I was intrigued and decided to see what I could find in my photo archives. Today it is all about people. Finding them in groups of three isn’t always as easy as you might think. Couples are common of course, as are larger groups, but threes less so.
