Lone plane over Windsor
Filed in Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Look up, Photography, Photos, Sky, United Kingdom, UrbanIf you live anywhere north of London it seems you’re in the flight path of one airport or another. Windsor, despite having a great big castle, is no exception and a number of flights flew over in the few hours we spent in the town.

Public Seating
Filed in Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Houses, Photography, Photos, United Kingdom, UrbanPlastic seats outside a house, near yesterday’s home I think. We went for a walk this evening by the reservoir in Inniscarra and I got some nice shots of my family and of the setting sun over the water. Unfortunately when I got home a number of shots were corrupted. I’m not sure why or [...]

My Home from Home
Filed in Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Houses, Photography, Photos, Street, United Kingdom, UrbanWhat do you do when you get home from holiday? Put a clamp on the wheels of your caravan! I could make a joke about cleaning the wheels of their home, but that’s an obvious one and I’m in a hurry tonight. Got a surprise birthday party to go to soon! Shot somewhere near Slough [...]

Golden Leaves
Filed in Autumn, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Look up, Nature, Photography, Photos, Trees, United KingdomContinuing on the Burnham Beeches theme, here’s another typical autumn shot. A great many more trees had their leaves than here in Blarney where most trees are naked. While in town this evening I discovered to my dismay that my Canon 10-22 lens is broken. The manual focus ring is completely jammed and the zoom [...]

Autumn Leaves
Filed in Autumn, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Nature, Photography, Photos, United KingdomHues of gold and brown greet the eye in Burham Beeches. Yes I know it’s technically winter but autumn is always associated with falling leaves, while winter is cold and snow falls instead, so please humour me! I do have a couple of other shots of yesterday’s Burnham Beeches photo but I’ll leave those until [...]

The beauty of Burnham Beeches
Filed in Autumn, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Nature, Photography, Photos, Trees, United KingdomWe visited Burnham Beeches last Friday afternoon, on a day when torrential rain was forecast but thankfully the weather forecast was completely wrong. This large forest close to the city of London is an amazing sight to behold with ancient trees, and at this time of year beautiful, vivid (eh Matt?) and colourful leaves that [...]

Windsor Leaves
Filed in Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Landscape, Long Exposure, Photography, Photos, Sky, United Kingdom, UrbanDown by the river in Windsor the ground was littered with autumn leaves and served as a perfect foreground for someone else’s castle.. That was a great idea of Matt’s to head down that direction!

Terminal 1 at Heathrow
Filed in Architecture, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, London, Look up, Photography, Photos, Signs, United Kingdom, UrbanTerminal 1 at Heathrow, just before we parked. Thanks Matt and Mary for a great few days! Matt bought himself a shiny new Sony A200 on Saturday. It has built in image stabilisation that really helped when I took some shots inside a pub in Eton. If you’re on the look out for a very [...]
