2008 - My Year In Pictures

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: 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: I Parked The Porsche…
Location: Writtle
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: … under a tree, and it got covered in leaves. Actually, not my Porsche, just one I came across whilst pottering for pictures in Writtle.

Title: Crisp Afternoon On The River
Location: Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation, near Ulting
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Despite having a bad back, I managed a walk along the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation this afternoon. I started off from Hoe Mill Lock and went to the church at Ulting and back. It was a marvellous autumn day, with clear blue skies, bright sun and people messing about in boats. A lovely atmosphere all round.

Title: Triangulation
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I enjoyed a walk just north of Blackmore this afternoon, and picked a load of wild blackberries to eat this evening. But sadly the weather was cloudy and very windy, so there weren’t any photographs worth showing from that trip. However, I noticed this rather nice shadow at home - good job I snapped it as an “insurance” shot, before I went out.

Title: Rainbow Feathers
Location: At home
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: Nothing much to photograph outside today, the weather was pretty miserable. So I dug through the props box and found some colourful feathers to play with instead.

Title: Cater House In The Can
Location: Chelmsford
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: Meetings, meetings, meetings. This week seems to have been nothing but. And another one for me today in Chelmsford. The sun was out and the sky blue, so I shot this view of Cater House reflected in the River Can, as I was on my way to the venue.
