Brant Fell Sunset and Sunrise
It’s been a fabulous week in the Lakes, and the weather has really played it’s part. Who’d have thought that there wouldn’t be a drop of rain in 11 days (and counting). Unfortunately it meant we could completely strip, repair and repaint the windows (boo hiss). I did manage to get out late evening on [...]
Portrait Practise
As you’ve probably noticed, most of my pictures are of landscapes, sport or Flora. I don’t think I’m any good at taking pictures of people. So I started a portrait photography course at Peterborough Regional College a couple of weeks ago. Despite four hours of tuition, we’ve yet to take a single picture in the [...]
Another post… two in one night?
Having had a drought where I’d not taken any photos for a few weeks I’ve had plenty of opportunity to snap away over the past fortnight. It’s great. Flora is the usual subject although she’s ably assisted by Sammy and Amber (Flora’s best friend). There is always plenty of water in the Lakes but there [...]
Aira Force (what a great name for a waterfall)
Mum, Dad, Penelope and I went for a walk with Flora to Aira Force just by Ullswater in the Lakes. We had lovely weather and Flora had a wonderful time running around and swimming in the waterfall pools. I’ve uploaded a few pictures. I was a bit disappointed with some of them. Mainly the noise [...]
More wedding photos (the official ones)
We’ve had the full set of photos through from our wedding. Jon Rouston has done a cracking job of capturing the feel of the day and we’re really chuffed with the pictures. It was such a blur that it’s good to have the chance to look back and see what was happening all around us. [...]
Early wedding photos
Penelope and I got married on 5th June in the Lakes. Jon Rouston, the photographer, has put a few preview pictures up on his blog, you can view them here. We had a great day, thank you so much to all who helped and attended.
It had to end sometime…
So the hired lens has had to go back. It’s a truly impressive piece of kit. Fantastic optically if a little on the large side. I don’t think I’ll be buying one though. It’s a hell of a lot of money and not enough better than the lenses I’ve already got. Oh well, guess I’ll [...]
Whitbarrow scar
Went for a brilliant walk with Penelope and Flora on Whitbarrow Scar just south of Windermere. Weather forecast said rain, snow and wind. Actually turned out to be a lovely evening with great sunshine.
