Woburn Abbey
2014 - 365 Project

163/365v2 Woburn Abbey

Debbie and I have been visiting a few Stately Homes over the last few weeks and today we visited Woburn Abbey. It has to be said, I’ve not been hugely impressed with the houses I’ve visited recently (with the exception of Hatfield House). One of my pet peeves about these

Rickling Green and the Quendon Estate
2014 - 365 Project

125/365v2 Rickling Green

If you look back far enough you’ll find a similar picture to this back in my archives…except there was no oil seed rape in the previous version. Captured today on a walk through Rickling Green and the Quendon Estate in Essex.

The Mooring
2014 - 365 Project

109/365v2 The Mooring

I visited the old church at Chickney this afternoon and took some long exposure shots as the clouds were nipping by at a good pace…I wasn’t satisfied with the pictures I was getting so popped inside and shot that for a while. Thing is, I’ve photographed this church a few

Big Essex Sky
2014 - 365 Project

108/365v2 Big Essex Sky

I took a walk around Little Easton this afternoon, or at least the countryside that surrounds Little Easton. This field has the River Chelmer flowing on the right hand side, but it was the sky that I knew I had to capture…I do love skies like this.

Rowney Woods in Black and White
2014 - 365 Project

107/365v2 Rowney Woods in Black and White

It was a rather grey and dull day in essex, but we spent an hour or so walking around Rowney woods this afternoon. The sky was quite uninteresting but using some HDR techniques defined the clouds rather more and I quite like the repetition of shapes between the sky line

St Boltolphs Church and surrounding Landscape
2014 - 365 Project

096/365v2 St Boltolphs Church & Landscape

This is a very photographic church, especially when you take in all its surrounding landscape. The stormy clouds of this afternoon certainly helped give a mood to the image. The church is in Beauchamp Roding which has a population of just 180 people so no surprise that that share their

The River Stort, Dunmow, Essex
2014 - 365 Project

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.

Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head
2014 - 365 Project

082/365v2 Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head

We took a walk around Rowney Woods this afternoon. As we entered the woods we were greated with a huge and long clap of thunder which did give us fair warning of the sort of weather we were about to “enjoy”

The Start of Spring
2014 - 365 Project

081/365v2 The Start of Spring

It was so nice to get out of the house, if only for a couple of hours this afternoon for the sole purpose of photography. I drove across to the far side of Bishops Stortford, towards Little Hadham and took a gentle stroll around a bridleway through Cradle End picking

Thorndon Country Park
2014 - 365 Project

053/365v2 Thorndon Country Park

We visited Thorndon Country Park today and had a long walk around it. There are some lovely wood sections, but I’m always a sucker for a view and their were some great ones out towards Kent. This was an HDR shot that I then dabbled with both the oil paint
