More Fungi

Some more fungi pictures. All were taken at Ashridge. The first image is my favourite. I love the contrast between the two Razorstrop Fungi and the colour of the decaying one.

Autumn at Ashridge

Last Saturday morning I had another early start and took a trip to Ashridge to get some autumn colour shots. Unfortunately some low cloud denied me the early light shots that I was hoping for, so I had to settle for detail shots for the first couple of hours. The sun did eventually break through to give some nice light, but by then I was getting ready to leave as I have other things to do.

Red Deer At Woburn

Last Saturday Morning I had an early start and took a trip to Woburn to try and photograph some Red Deer. The weather was good but the deer were distant and I don't really have a good enough long lens for this type of photography. Still I managed a few reasonable shots. There are a little soft but still worth showing.



This last one isn't from Woburn or even from this year. I took it a couple of years ago at Bradgate Park. It was the best shot I managed that day and since I didn't have a blog then, I am showing it now.

Welsh Water

I am playing catch-up on some unprocessed images. These were taken on a Scrambling trip to Snowdonia, that saw some very mixed weather. There was rain when we were on the hills and sun as soon as we had finished. The only images I managed to get were of a waterfall a short walk from Ogwen Cottage, concentrating on details of the water on rock.

A Few From Kew

Last Sunday I spent a very pleasant day at Kew Gardens with some other members of the Travel & Nature Group. The weather was lovely and I took many pictures both inside the glass houses and outside. Here are a selection of images from the Palm and Lilly Houses.

Fish Pedicure

Something odd that I came across around the markets of Camden. A shop offering fish pedicures.

Camden Shop Fronts

Recently, I spent the day in Camden. The original intention was to do some street photography. Unfortunately I didn't get any street candids that I liked. However, I did spent quite bit of time photographing the colourful and imaginative shop fronts that are such a feature of Camden High Steet.

Abbey-Horizons, Evening Light


I seem to have had very little time for photography recently. In fact my only proper trip out with the camera was two weeks ago on another of the Cambridge photo evenings with the Abbey-Horizons group. With the nights drawing in, the theme of this outing was low-light and night photography. As should be clear from the blog by now, this is a real passion of mine. However, it wasn't one of my better night and I only managed a few images that I was happy with.
