Mermaid Pool

I went up to the Mermaid Pool near Leek the other day. It was blowing a force 9 (or felt like it!) and was bitterly cold.

I played around with my new baby, the Sigma 10 - 20mm I tried out a few posts below.

Here are my favourite 3.

Churnet Valley Railway

I went to the Churnet Valley Railway on Sunday where they had 5 engines in steam throughout the day. I am not a "steam head", but just thought I may get a few good shots. The three below are my favourite.

Wide Angle Take Two

I wanted to try out the Sigma 10 to 20mm lens I had borrowed again at the weekend, so grabbed half an hour in the town centre to try a few more shots.

I was a bit rushed and would have liked to take some more but I had to get back for other things.

These three shots are all of St Edwards Church in Leek.







Hope you like them.

Sigma 10-20mm Lens

I borrowed a Sigma 10-20mm Wide Angle Lens to have a play around with, with a view to buying one.

I must admit it was like letting a child loose in a sweet shop. The 102 degree field of view at 10mm is awsome. I have to be careful not to get myself in the shot!!

Anyway I took these whilst out on a walk with the dog. My first shots with the lens. I hope to have another play at the weekend.







Hope you like them.

A Walk By The Canal

I went for a walk along the canal near where I live with the dog in tow. Took a few shots, but these 3 are my favourite.

The canal is the Cauldon Canal and the shots are taken near Cheddleton, Staffordshire, UK.







Hope you like them.

Studio Lights

The camera club that I attend has just bought some 600w studio flash kit with background. I borrowed them recently and tried to replicate the "Venture" look.

I quite liked the results. For £10 to hire the kit it was a bargain.

Portrait Session

I went on a portraiture evening last night with three others from the camera club I attend. It was my first time and whilst highly nervous managed to get a dozen or so I quite liked. Here are some of my efforts....

A Walk With The Dog

Hi,

It's been some time since my last post. I have not managed to do much photography recently as I have been in the process of moving house.

I have moved to a more rural location which has plenty of nice walks with the dog. Here are some shots I took with my small pocket Lumix camera (not wanting to lug the SLR on a dog walk).

Hope you like them.

Toolshed Flowers

Whilst on holiday I visited the "Lost Gardens of Heligan" in Cornwall. It was a lovely place. I noticed these flowers in the toolshed and liked the way the light fell on them.
