2008 - My Year In Pictures

Title: Boreham House
Location: Boreham, Chelmsford
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I had to pop over to the Parcel Force depot in Boreham this morning to pick up a package, and took the opportunity to stop at Boreham house for a quick picture. I liked the muted tones of the day and thought sepia suited the mood rather well. Compare this with Ken’s version of the same location from a few weeks ago!

Title: Playground Shadows
Location: Margaretting
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: There was a bit of sun about today, so I nipped out during lunchtime for a breath of fresh air and took the camera with me. This was in a pleasant little playground in Margaretting - I’ve driven by many times but never stopped for a look before. I love the light this time of year (when we get some!).

Title: Marina Reflections
Location: Springfield Lock
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I took the opportunity to nip out for a breath of fresh air while the sun was shining today. And find another geocache or two. Once again, geocaching has taken me to a spot which I didn’t even know existed, and it’s lovely. It’s along the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation, just downstream of the Essex Record Office, and is about the last bit of civilisation before you hit the more rural paths along the canal.

Title: Car Park Silhouette
Location: Chelmsford
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: A lovely sunny day for a change. I spotted this silhouette on the way back to the car after a meeting in Chelmsford.

Title: Leaded Lights
Location: Harlow Common
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: I visited a client’s studio today to photograph some handbags for her website. This was the lovely view out of the window, once it had stopped raining.

Title: Dusk On Writtle Green
Location: Writtle, Essex
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Despite the patchy weather, I managed to get out for a bit of fresh air this afternoon. But by the time I was heading home, dusk was beginning to settle in. This was taken as the light faded in Writtle.

Title: Autumn Skies
Location: Stock Church
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Just time for a quick trip to Stock Church on my way home from a meeting. The light was better earlier on, but I wasn’t able to get out then. Ah well.
