Rapeseed on Beaumonts Hill
2021 - 365 Project

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

124-365v4 Power Cuts and Ducklings

We suffered a power cut this afternoon which not only meant that I had to finish work 10 minutes early but also upset the PC so much that it took forever to restart…and then Lightroom wouldn’t work properly. The good news is CUTENESS! As there was nothing to do and

Great Dunmow Polyscape

111-365v4 Great Dunmow Polyscape

This is a new technique to me and the images I have used here don’t really do the technique justice, but as a learning device this has worked fine. The misty landscape in the shapes is today’s picture. The background shot is of Doctors Pond taken some time ago –

108-365v4 A Foggy Start on Doctors Pond

We had a good thick fog in Great Dunmow this morning, it was pretty chilly as well, but the grey heron was on Doctors Pond and the fog hid a lot of the parked cars to the rear of the pond, as did the panorama crop I gave the image.

104-365v4 The Lazy Option

Sometimes you just need a bit of time off and I got my shot first thing this morning…so that’s what we have for today. The nice thing is I haven’t shown this particular pair of trees since week 3 of the project so I feel enough time has passed. Also,

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

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

After all the mucking about over the last few days of doing my daily photograph last thing at nigt…and having all sorts of problems, today’s image comes from my morning walk around Dunmow. The Lambs just off Bigods Lane are growing quickly and have beem splodged with oramge dye, which

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

066-365v4 Duck Patrol at Dunmow Pond

The ducks are pairing up on Doctors Pond for the mating season. This is the only time they come visiting in our garden as they look for somewhere to lay their eggs. We always get losts of visitors, but they never stay…probably just as well as we still haven’t rid
