087-365v5 – Abstract Forest

I’ve tried the Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) quite a few times with mixed results. I am, however, quite happy with todays effort using a long (142mm in this case) focal length which means you don’t have to move the camera as quickly as you do with a wider focal length.

081-365v5 – Down The Cemetery

I popped into Newcastleton to visit our excellent butchers and, on my way back, I stopped off at the local cemetery. My plan was to get some shots on the theme “crowded” which I did, but didn’t really like any of them. So, instead, here’s a view from the back

075-365v5 – Waterfalls, again!

I can’t keep away. I set off again down our burn to see the waterfalls and cascades this afternoon. We’ve not had much rain recently and the burn is quite shallow at the moment. This was to lead to a moment of complacency from me that I would regret. At

071-365v5 Out The Back

This is a shot taken looking out of our garden across to the Florida Forestry area where, potentially we will be having both wind turbines and new giant electricity pylons built. It’s not yet clear (and planning hasn’t, yet, been given) whether these will be visible from our garden…but they

068-365v5 – More Waterfall Action

I continued my walk up our Burn (Harden Burn) that runs through our garden and carried on up past the waterfalls I photographed a few weeks ago. I was initially looking for a couple of ponds that I’d seen mentioned on a couple of maps (although not the Ordanance Survey

067-365v5 – Some Hill Mist

It’s been a glorious day in Scotland today with temperatures up to a balmy 18°C and we have spent much of the day in the garden. On the morning walk with Jess I was aware of some mist rolling down the hill and hoped the sun would light it up

065-365v5 – A View From The Garden

I really do feel incredibly lucky that this is on my doorstep. You might think that a move from a (very lovely) small town where we lived on a main road just off the High Street in Great Dunmow would be quite a radical change to a country house 3.5miles

046-365v5 – Waiting for the Farmer

This morning was cold and murky and as Jess and I were heading up to the Forestry track for our morning walk I saw this scene of the neighbouring farms sheep awaiting their breakfast. We, and the sheep, could hear the tractor that would be bringing their morning breakfast but

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) of a cold and foggy walk

037-365v5 – A Misty Morning Walk

Something I’ve never had a lot of success with before – Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) from the early morning Jess walk. It was a cold and foggy morning and there was some lovely light around which I photographed but, unusually, it was this ICM shot that I really liked. This

036/365v5 – Waterfalls

Our new house has a burn (Scottish for stream) running through it and we own the part of it that flows through our garden. Tracing the burn on our Ordinance Survey (OS) map I could see that there was a waterfall marked further upstream so I had an explore with
