Tuesday’s are often the hardest day to complete a daily photograph as I have work, tea and then straight out to Camera Club, it really doesn’t help when it absolutely pours down all day. I had planned (I do sometimes think ahead, although not often!) to photograph the New England
It’s an old trick photographing oil on water and one that I tried ages ago, but I have some very specific shots in mind and used this Bank Holiday afternoon to hone the techniques I will need to take the shots (I hope!). Unfortunately, practice time was shortened when I
