Thorndon Country Park
2014 - 365 Project

053/365v2 Thorndon Country Park

We visited Thorndon Country Park today and had a long walk around it. There are some lovely wood sections, but I’m always a sucker for a view and their were some great ones out towards Kent. This was an HDR shot that I then dabbled with both the oil paint

049/365v2 All Trains Terminate Here

Had a day in London with work and popped out at lunchtime to grab some shots…and got absolutely drenched as the heavens opened. Fortunately I had 10 minutes before my train left on my way home so I took a wander down to towards the end of the platforms where

Around Doctors Pond
2014 - 365 Project

044/365v2 A-Round Doctors Pond

Playing around with symmetrical images today sees a slightly different take on Doctors Pond. The image was taken and split down the middle(ish) and rejoined. Just to add a little tension to the image I removed some of the symmetry, particularly from the geese.

026/365v2 The Dead Trees of Mundun

The stories say that back in the 1600’s these oak trees, situated behind the old (now disused) church, were used to hang people. They lived until 1953 when the sea broke the seas defenses and flooded the area, killing the trees. They really are a spooky, strange sight with their

014/365v2 A Strange Colour In The Sky

See the top left in this picture – that colour is not the sun (well, at least the sun isn’t there, the sun’s somewhere to the left off the picture at around the roof line height) it’s some interesting defraction going on – that’s what I was trying to capture,

013/365v2 Parndon Mill Lock

I was working in Harlow today and for once it wasn’t raining so I popped down to Parndon Mill on the River Stort and grabbed some shots – this was a favourite location back in my first 365 project but now I usually work in Hatfield I don’t have the

012/365v2 Looking Up

You’re always told, in the books and on web sites, to always look behind you as a photographer – I’ve often found some really nice pictures by doing this. Recently I’ve been looking up a lot more as well and have had similar success. We visited a new (to us…it

005/365v2 A Wet Winter in Rowney

It’s a sod is Facebook – you’re all ready to add a post to your blog and all hell kicks off…(you get into a long winded conversation about what is right and wrong in journalistic photography…it’s a minefield I tell you!) Today we have just about the only decent shot

Battersea Park Lake

Battersea Park Lake

This was taken in Battersea Park, London last March…just as we were heading into a drought and hose pipe bans – you remember – those days when it didn’t just rain every day 😉 I have no idea why I didn’t process this 5 shot HDR at the time, becasue

Stansted Airport Motorbike

It’s a bit disappointing when you visit an airport and the best picture you come home with is of a derelict motorbike! Admittedly I was not actually in the airport, rather, wandering around part of its perimeter, and it was a pretty quiet Saturday afternoon/early evening with not many planes
