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.

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

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.

26/52 A Gate to Nowhere

I took a walk around Great Dunmow today and found this road I had not been down before. It lead to a rather impressive Georgian Manor house that I didn’t know existed on the way was this scene. Walking around the countryside you do see quite a few of these

14/52 Doctors Pond Little Planet

This was my first go at a “Little Planet”. Just to complicate matters I did an HDR version of it, so 55 shots were taken to make this image…probably a little excessive! It was good fun to make and I do like the effect…and, of course, it’s Doctors Pond, at

We had a light painting evening at the Dunmow Photography Club this evening and, in amongst running around light painting cars I took a couple of minutes to grab this shot of the moon. This is cropped to pretty much 100% and was taken at 200mm on a full frame
