Alton Water

268/365v2 Clouds Rush By

This is Alton Water at Lemons Hill. I really had a hard time choosing between this and the colour version for today’s photo…but I’m a sucker for black and white! You can see the colour version after the break.. I rather kicked myself as I’d left my phone in the

258/365v2 The Orwell Bridge

This photograph cost me a lot of money! The aim of todays shot was a long exposure to get lots of streaky clouds…but I couldn’t get a long enough shutter speed even with my 10 stop ND filter…so I’ve bought a 16 stop ND filter to go with it –

I popped up to the end of the Stansted Airport runway this afternoon to get some shots of the planes flying overhead. As an bit of a bonus I walked across to where there is a steep drop in the land and bumped into a couple of fallow deer –
