Autumn Fruit Fall

As is rapidly becoming our custom we visited Rowney Woods again today. We are now expanding our walks to include the countryside around the woods and continued out to the Debden Green area. The weather has been odd this year with summer starting early, pausing and then restarting a couple

Millenium Bridge and St Pauls Cathedral

Two for the price of one, combining 2 of probably the top 10 most photographed structures in London. When I got home from London on Sunday I transferred all my images to my computer and discovered I made quite a blunder. I’d shot the whole day in ISO800. What that

It was a pretty grey day on Sunday for the London Photowalk around Hampstead Heath, but that lends itself nicely to some black and white images. As a boy I grew up with dogs, a Scottie, an Old English Sheepdog and a series of English Setters. Since moving down to

Finally…the sunset at Leez Lodge Lake

So, after a few posts we’ve made it to the actual sunset shot. It really was a beautiful evening, I had half expected the lake to be full of fishermen but it was deserted, except for me, loads of birds and the occasional fish who broke water periodically. Whilst sitting

Silhouettes at sunset

A word I can very rarely spell… So after the sunset mentioned below I got some great silhouettes of some of the trees on the walk back to the car…We will get to the actual sunset bit eventually!

Mooring

Moving on from Oxford, Sunday saw us enjoy yet more unseasonally hot weather. I spent most of it lounging around the house, enjoying the fact that I really didn’t have to do anything but, as usual, the photography bug bit late afternoon and I went in search of a sunset
