As I mentioned before, we were at a party on Saturday night. The venue had a dancefloor, and the hosts had hired a mobile DJ to come and play some tunes for us to dance to. It was a good evening! However, the DJ did do one or two things which annoyed me slightly, and…

The reason I say “surprise” flower is that it pretty much sprang up overnight! I have no idea what kind of flower it is, but it’s pretty. Given how nature works it’s probably a weed of some kind, but still. I don’t have much to report for the past few days. I’ve basically just been…

Quick update today. In the woods near where I work they’ve been clearing some of the trees. Most of the dead trees – not many, but a few – are just lying by the side of the path. I thought it made quite an interesting picture, the dead leaf surrounded by a background of live…

One of the advantages of rain is that you get to take pictures like this. I love looking at things after the rain, how the droplets glisten! I really like this photo, I think the different levels of leaves works quite well. Anyway, I said I’d do a quick weekend update. So, on Friday night,…

There seems to have been a bit of a watery theme going on in my recent photos, which – as you can probably guess – is due to there being a lot of rain over the past few days! I quite like today’s photo, I think it kind of works although I don’t really know…

Went back to St Botolph’s Priory today to get a few more pictures. It really is an impressive structure (or at least, remains of a structure) – it has some presence even though not much of it remains! Unfortunately it wasn’t the best day to take photos, the sky was grey (never a good sign),…

Well it seems to have rained a lot today! Particularly this afternoon. I managed to get to the shops and back at lunchtime without getting wet, but not long after that it seemed the deluge started. Anyway, this picture is of our table outside. You can see the reflection quite clearly in the water laying…

Today’s photo is of a waterfall – the same waterfall which I have shot before. I was experimenting with longer shutter times, and I think this one worked quite well. Although I’m not too sure about the composition, it’s just a matter of learning at the moment! I think it manages to capture the movement…

I’m afraid it’s a slightly depressing photo today. It seems that autumn is here! It’s been coming for a while, but the leaves have started falling and the trees have started turning brown. Not that I really mind – I think autumn can be one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. It’s just…

Today’s photo is of what I think is basically a weed, with the rest of the field in view (but out of focus) behind. I think it works quite well, but still. I was reading my camera’s manual today, and I discovered something: what I’ve been trying to do a little bit recently is experiment…
