210/366 A golden long horned moth on scabious

I popped out for a walk late afternoon/early evening and decided to head down to the Flitch Way in Dunmow. I’ve been on the Flitch Way at Little Dunmow and Little Canfield, but never in Great  Dunmow. So off I set, thinking I knew exactly how to get to it…of

207/366 The John Webb Windmill, Thaxted

3 days on the trot – and 3 different windmills. This one lost it’s sails in 2010. I’ve had to switch back to Photomatix because Nik HDR Efex Pro 2 seems to be having real issues with wide ranges of exposure.

206/365 Held together by wires

Tuesday night is Bishop’s Stortford camera club night and tonight the summer programme had a “photowalk” around Stansted. I say “photowalk” because, as soon as I arrived (late…) we all jumped into various vehicles and drove down to Stansted Parish Church. We then drove back to our meeting point to

205/366 Aythorpe Roding Windmill at Sunset

One of my favourite local landmarks was calling me this evening. As soon as I’d finished my dinner I hot footed it down to Aythorpe Roding and photographed the sunset. The only thing missing…well, a few clouds would have broken the sky up nicely. I’m still feeling my way with

198/366 Church of St John and St Giles, Great Easton

When I first took up photography I spent a lot of time in Churches. I’m not religious, but, if you need somewhere peaceful with lots of different things to photograph to learn how to use your camera, then this is the place to go. I’m always careful to pay a

191/366 Leaning over the Chelmer

I took a quick walk over the Recreation Ground in Dunmow this evening…I took a rather daft chance and went in t-shirt, shorts and camera…no coat, no bag for camera. Whilst I was only ever 15 minutes away from home it suddenly dawned on me that I may struggle to
