2008 – My Year In Pictures

Title: Frosted Fern
Location: Hylands Park
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: The sun shone for most of the day. But with little or no wind to speak of, it seemed warmer than yesterday, even though there was frost on the ground for most of the time. Delaying work for as long as possible, I went to Hylands Park with Alistair to look for another couple of geocaches. The gardens were rather wintry, and this poor fern looked like it could do with a bit of sun on its leaves!

Title: Icy Morning
Location: At Home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I woke up to a very heavy frost this morning, which is always good for a few pictures. I took some other shots in the garden, but I liked this one of the car best.

Title: Melting Frost
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: After yesterday’s near miss, I made sure I took something first thing today! Lucky I did, because although the weather was great for most of the time during daylight hours, I was very busy at home, and had to wait in for a Special Delivery parcel which never came! So much for being “guaranteed by 1pm”. But don’t get me started on ranting about the Royal Mail… This was a shot of some early morning frost melting from the top of my car as the sun crept across the roof.

Title: Frost Patterns
Location: At home
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: Left home early to go to London for a weekend conference. These are some frost patterns on a neighbour’s car.
