155-365v4 Surrounding the Tree

One of the good things about doing a 365 photo a day project is the fact that you are encouraged to use all the gear you have piled up but don’t use that much. I’ve certainly suffered from GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) and I have the additional failing that I

146-365v4 It’s That Tree Again

I broke out my infra-red converted Nikon D60 camera for the first time this year, depsite the fact that it was overcast first thing this morning. I’d decided I was going to use it last night and charged the battery up so wasn’t going to be put off by a

134-365v4 A Number Muck Up and One Harrassed Coal Tit

I’ve got 2 x 66 posts…and I really can’t be bothered working my way backwards renaming every page…so we’ve just skipped number 133, but it’s there…or is it a kind of Schrödinger’s 133… So, today we have our rather splendid Coal Tit…who’s been looking more and more harrassed as this

130-365v4 After the Shower

This mornings walk was nicely timed between showers and I had a very pleasant walk around this part of Dunmow. I’ve been doing this walk for many years and whilst house building work has taken up some of the fields (and a pub I used to frequent) on my walk

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

102-365v4 A Chilly Start on Beaumont Hill.

It was another cold one this morning when I ventured out with my new teeny tiny Sony RX100 for the first time. I have to say, I’m really impressed with the quality of the images from such a small camera. This was a 3 shot HDR (via Lightroom)…I’m not convinced

094-365v4 And Now for Something Completely Different

It’s been so nice to get out of the house and Dunmow to go for a walk in Rowney Woods. The last time we were here was Christmas Day and we’ve missed them. Spring is definitely here and there are plenty of buds everywhere. My eye was caught by the

090-365v4 On Top of Beaumont Hill

After all the talk of how warm much of the East of England is, there was definitely a bit of a chill in the air when I strode out for my morning walk. The warming glow of the sunrise certainly helped to make this a pleasant and enjoyable start to

077-365v4 Dunnock Guards the Castle

I took 3 photographs today, this was one of them.  In fact this was the second photograph, the 1st shot looked like this: Whilst I like my first image of the day (it was supposed to be the Dunnock we see in the main image) I decided to run with
