117/365v2 Finchingfield

Probably the prettiest of all the Essex villages Finchingfield is a short drive from Dunmow and I popped up or a quick 30 minute visit late afternoon today. The intention was to do some long exposures but the clouds weren’t playing ball and, just to the right are some really

115/365v2 April Showers

The weather has been…changeable the last few days and the next few days look as though they will continue this pattern. So, when in doubt, I nip out to Doctors Pond for the daily photo…the sky tells you all you need to know 😉

Big Essex Sky

108/365v2 Big Essex Sky

I took a walk around Little Easton this afternoon, or at least the countryside that surrounds Little Easton. This field has the River Chelmer flowing on the right hand side, but it was the sky that I knew I had to capture…I do love skies like this.

104/365v2 Earlier Later

Two views, same day out of the same window, I loved the cloud in the earlier shot and the moon (non-eclipsed) in the second shot so decided to make a diptych.

St Boltolphs Church and surrounding Landscape

096/365v2 St Boltolphs Church & Landscape

This is a very photographic church, especially when you take in all its surrounding landscape. The stormy clouds of this afternoon certainly helped give a mood to the image. The church is in Beauchamp Roding which has a population of just 180 people so no surprise that that share their

The River Stort, Dunmow, Essex

089/365v2 The River Stort, Dunmow

I took a stroll around Dunmow this afternoon/early evening. The forecast had said we’d have sunny spells all day…I don’t think we saw the sun at all…but it was nice and warm. I ended up down by the Rover Stort and grabbed the brackets for this HDR shot.

The Start of Spring

081/365v2 The Start of Spring

It was so nice to get out of the house, if only for a couple of hours this afternoon for the sole purpose of photography. I drove across to the far side of Bishops Stortford, towards Little Hadham and took a gentle stroll around a bridleway through Cradle End picking

075/365v2 Beauchamp Roding Church

I last visited this church a couple of years ago during my last 365 project so I thought I’d see what, if any, changes had happened since my last visit. I arrived shortly before sunset and as I walked from the car towards the church I could hear music playing

063/365v2 Doctors Pond

I had to pop out to the Post Office this morning and it was such a beautiful morning that I grabbed a few shots of Doctors Pond on my way back. This is a 3 shot HDR taken on my Sony NEX7 and processed using photomatix, lightroom, photoshop, with a

Dovercourt Lighthouse in Colour

I’ve published a couple of pictures of the lighthouses at Dovercourt before, but none in colour before. This was taken using my smaller Sony NEX7 camera whilst I was photographing the lighthouse with my main Nikon D800 camera. The D800 was taking a long (4 minutes or so) exposure which
