It's Been a While!!!

It has been quite a time since my last post. I have been busy with many things including starting to learn the guitar and producing a further two websites.

I took this shot whilst on holiday on my G9. It is of one of the falls on the Ingleton Falls Trail (a walk I can throughly recommend).

Cotswolds 2009

Sorry it has been a while - work, family and holiday have conspired against me...!

I have just got back from a week in the Cotswolds and here a three of my favourites.

I hardly used my SLRs. These are all from my Canon G9. I took a few macro shots of flowers whilst going around Hidcote Manor. I must admit I was very impressed with the hand-held results in mixed lighting.

It Snowed!!

First major snow in England for many a year (Scotland get it all the time but don't bleat on about it!).

Took the mad mutt for a walk and got these shots I quite liked. The river is the Churnet near where I live.

All taken on my Canon G9, f2.8 - 5.6, 1/350 - 1/800 sec, ISO 200.

Roaches

I went for a walk with my son up on the Roaches. It was a cold and grey day so yet more B&W! A light dusting of snow added to the day and enabled some quite nice B&W shots to be taken.

#1 is my favourite from the day.

Winatts Pass

I went out for the morning up into the Peak District with my son and my Brother-in-Law. The idea was to get in some photography which we did, but the weather was not kind.

Got these shots of Winatts Pass near Castleton.
