2008 – My Year In Pictures

Title: Buttsbury Vista
Location: Buttsbury, Essex
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF-S f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: The sun was in and out all morning, so you had to pick your moment for pictures today. I had planned to take a photo of Stock Windmill for today’s image, but the light was wrong, the wind was wrong, and the mill was positioned wrong! Best laid plans and all that. So on the way home, I stopped at Buttsbury Church for a quick look around. The church is on top of a modest hill, and this is the view over the Wid valley looking due West towards Ingatestone Hall. I’m sure you’ll see some more photos of that later in the year (it’s not open much at the moment).

Title: Sunset Over Buttsbury
Location: Galleywood Common
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 75-300mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: I was busy for most of the day, and was waiting in for a delivery, but by 4:30pm I’d finished my jobs and the delivery had come. I grabbed the camera bag, jumped in the car and headed for Galleywood Common where I managed to snatch some pictures of the sun sinking while getting a little 1.2 mile walk.
