Thankyou one and all for looking at this blog and helping me reach 2000 views.

It means a lot to mean that you would spend time looking at a part of my life which I really enjoy doing. I wish to thank every last one of you individually, and please consider this small section of text just that. But I know some of you want a more substantial thank you. This next bit is for you.

Bluebell views

I went for a drive to a view point I know of. The view was obstructed by roadsigns and hedges. But I still managed to get a shot or two. Then after this viewpoint I found myself driving anywhere to find the shots I wanted, and found my bluebell filled woodland. I took an alternative route on the way home which brought me to pass some flowing fields. I hope you enjoy the following shots from these locations.

I really like these photos. I hope they are satisfactory.

Thank you for coming to view. See you next time.

Cotswold Wander

This weekend, as well as going on a trackday in my motorcar, my friends and I went for a walk to the top of Cleeves Hill, Cheltenham.

The following set of images is from that walk. Some I am very proud of. Some I wish I had taken a few more to get the right levels. This is another of those moments where the LCD has lied, and got back to a dark room and saw how over exposed everything was.

As I said I really like some of these.

I would like to thank my friends Mark, Sarah, and Nick for this weekend.


I hope you enjoyed these photos this week. I must say it was really chilly up there on that hill.

Clouds over Kent

So I had a play with my circular polarizer today to get some mad definition in the sky.

I had a quick tweak in Lightroom which has inevitably lowered the quality dramatically, but increased the clarity quite nicely.

Even with the loss of quality I am still really pleased with these results. I can see why it would be so easy to spend more time in post production than actual on scenes action though.


Many thanks for viewing.
