Bursting Balloons in Stortford
2016 - 365 Project

020/365v3 Bursting Balloons in Stortford

Can you see the tenuous link to yesterday’s photo? I know it’s neither a window or a reflection, but you just can’t beat firing air gun pellets at water filled balloons and photographing the resultant explosion! This was done using a trigger trap and 2 flash guns at Bishops Stortford

087/365v2 A Mars a Day

I love these mars ice creams you get – they taste fantastic. I thought they’d make a great macro subject…

013/365v2 Parndon Mill Lock

I was working in Harlow today and for once it wasn’t raining so I popped down to Parndon Mill on the River Stort and grabbed some shots – this was a favourite location back in my first 365 project but now I usually work in Hatfield I don’t have the

40/52 The Mill Bridge Rooms, Hertford

Every year I take part in the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk – groups of photographers meet up in towns and cities around the word and go out and take pictures – proceeds go to charity. So far I have photographed Bishop’s Stortford, Ozford, Much Hadham and this year Hertford. I

39/52 Hatfield Forest Lake at Sunset

Another of my more regular haunts for photography. This is the lake in the middle of Hatfield Forest, always a good spot for a sunset and we were treated to a belter this Sunday evening.

36/52 John Webb Windmill, Thaxted

I’ll sometimes go out with a very particular idea of what sort of picture I want to create. I don’t always achieve what I’m looking for, but when it comes off I do feel such pleasure in the final image. This is one such shot, a long exposure black and

35/52 Doctors Pond Sun Stream

Look through this web site and you’ll see many shots of Doctors Pond in Great Dunmow…not least because I only live about 20 yards from it 😉 I’ve never had any issues photographing this until today. Whilst photographing this I was approached by a woman who demanded to know what

34/52 The Harvest

One of my more regular places to photograph is Rowney Woods near Debden and Saffron Walden in Essex. This, as you will gather, was not taken in the woods, but rather out on the wheat fields behind the woods. The farmer had just harvested the wheat and had left these

28/52 St Michaels Clock

Oops. somewhere along the line I missed posting week 28’s photo…not sure how that happened! So, the Bishops Stortford Camera Club had an opportunity to get to the top of the spire of St Michael’s Church in Bishops Stortford. Getting up there meant a long spiral stone staircasr to the

24/52 Look Out, It’s The Mob

I love this picture, OK? Mooching around Rowney Woods the wife and I came across this band of hoodlums waiting to set upon any unwary walkers, they certainly spotted us. I particularly like the male in the middle – he has such a great expression on his face…wonder if I
