025/365v2 Lined Up

The dreary weather continues unabated…I popped out inbetween showers and grabbed this shot of the local Geese around Doctors Pond, then an almighty crash of thunder and flash of lightning sent me scurrying back home. I then spend the next couple of our mounting some images for our next round

023/365v2 Rogue Tree

I was struggling for a subject last night so popped outside and took a shot of this zebra crossing on Rosemary Lane. I then played around with a new feature in Photoshop which creates these randomised trees and tried to blend it into the road…thing is, the tree’s a bit

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,

004/365v2 Star Lane, Great Dunmow

I popped out this morning to go to the bakers and went the long way round through Doctors Pond and then up into the town via Star Lane. I took this shot as a fall back as I had an idea about a table top shot I wanted to take.

35/52 Doctors Pond Sun Stream

Look through this web site and you’ll see many shots of Doctors Pond in Great Dunmow…not least because I only live about 20 yards from it 😉 I’ve never had any issues photographing this until today. Whilst photographing this I was approached by a woman who demanded to know what

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

22/52 Into The Wide Blue Yonder

A female mallard takes off from the Doctors Pond in Great Dunmow and heads off into the wide blue yonder… I probably spend more time hanging around Doctors Pond than is healthy!

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
