126-365v4 Polling Day in Dunmow

Today is election day in the UK as we vote for representatives in the County Halls amongst other things, so I took advantage of being out and about and took my camera. As is often the way, especially for these local elections, it was pretty quiet at the polling station,

125-365v4 Rapeseed on Beaumont Hill

I had a somewhat easier task picking today’s image out after yesterdays glut of duckling images, there were only 3 contenders today so a somewhat quicker selection process. Usually around Dunmow we have a lot of rapeseed growing, this year, not so much, unless of course it’s late. It was

124-365v4 Power Cuts and Ducklings

We suffered a power cut this afternoon which not only meant that I had to finish work 10 minutes early but also upset the PC so much that it took forever to restart…and then Lightroom wouldn’t work properly. The good news is CUTENESS! As there was nothing to do and

123-365v4 Oily Duck

It’s an old trick photographing oil on water and one that I tried ages ago, but I have some very specific shots in mind and used this Bank Holiday afternoon to hone the techniques I will need to take the shots (I hope!). Unfortunately, practice time was shortened when I

122-354v4 Breakout

I’ve been wanting to have a go at this shot for a while now and we had bacon and fried egg sandwiches for lunch…so egg shells! I’m not convinced I’ve done this justice, but the only plant I could desecrate in the garden was this wild strawberry that was hiding

120-354v4 Mr and Mrs

It’s been one of those days where I just couldn’t be bothered to do anything, not just photography! Around tea time I wandered out into the garden to see what was available to photograph amd saw there were more flowers out of the “weed” that I photographed last Saturday.  You’ll

119-354v4 From Bean to Cup

When I did my original half a cup of coffee I didn’t have any coffee beans so couldn’t do this shot. I think the earlier photograph stands on its own though, this one is different enough to be considered properly separate. The cutting out in photoshop was a bit more

118-365v4 A Day Out that Went with a Bang!

We had a day out to the coast at Aldeburgh yesterday and visited Lackford Lakes on the way back. The day’s featured image is a triptych of some of the birds that kept a close eye on us as we ate our fish and chips on the (rather coll and

117-365v4 A View of Hanningfield Reservoir

We spent some of today walking around Hanningfield Reservoir. It’s a lovely walk, but was a bit over busy today with the lovely weather and everyone only recently out of lockdown. It’s a little worrying to see how people just march around as if their never has been a pandemic,
