Each year the fact that the sun sets earlier while it is still summer takes me by surprise – I should have learnt by now. Sunset is now around 20:30 with dusk about 21:00 so walking in the evening will require torches soon (& I’ll stop taking the camera). With the light the way it was [...]
This post does not relate to any specific photo shoot but to the fact that, from time to time, I realise I am paying as much attention to the reflections I see as the conventional view. The one above brings a little summer to the winter weather. As with some of the others it [...]
While overall the countryside still looks rather faded and winter like a trip to Dartington Hall gardens yesterday showed that there are the start of signs of Spring.

Just after the new year (but before the big snow) I drove up through the country (M5/M6). The previous night had seen some of the lowest temperatures. Close to Worcester we stopped [...]
Over the past few months the colours of Autumn on the trees have been very attractive and I have taken quite a lot of pictures of them. Now winter is here (and for now the rain has stopped) I was looking at the trees now there are no leaves on. There is a sense [...]

Equally it was apparent from comments on the photography course that, at times, the photographers there outnumbered [...]
(Well I am doing a French course at present )
