2008 - My Year In Pictures

Title: Seed Pods
Location: Writtle
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: I didn’t have much time for pictures today, and wasn’t 100% happy with any I took. But this was the best of the bunch. I liked the way one of the seed heads was doing its own thing, hanging down from the rest.

Title: The Cowparsley Bridge
Location: Good Easter
Camera: Canon EOS 300D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I attended a training course in Margaret Roding for most of the day, but it had finished by 3pm, so I took a detour to Good Easter on the way home and had a potter around the village. There is a pond with bullrushes (and big, splashy fish). The pleasantly cool church was open for visitors. I particularly liked this scene, at the rear of the churchyard, where a footpath crosses a stream on a little wooden bridge. It was surrounded by gently waving Cowparsley and numerous Dandelion clocks.
