2008 - My Year In Pictures

Title: Autumn Is Here
Location: Sandon Churchyard
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I woke to a big blue sky with plenty of sun, so decided to postpone work for a little while and head out with the camera. Autumn is beginning to make itself felt, with leaves falling from some varieties of tree  earlier than others. I found this colourful collection whilst wandering around Sandon Churchyard.

Title: Underside Shadows
Location: Wivenhoe
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I had a client meeting in Colchester this afternoon, and a networking event in the evening, so I stopped over at my parents’ house in Wivenhoe for some dinner. The sun came out briefly and I managed to catch these leaves with some interesting shadows on them.

Title: (Castor) Oil And Water
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 300D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes : Confession time - this is real lazy photography, I’m afraid. I’ve been busy all day and it’s been raining steadily, so I literally poked my head out the back door for five minutes to see what I could find. My poor, drenched Castor Oil plant (Fatsia Japonica) was looking soggy in the Autumn corner of my garden - quite appropriate, since it’s felt like it for most of the day. I hope the sun shines tomorrow.

Title: In The Garden
Location: At a friend’s house
Camera:Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: Inspiration was just as lacking as the sunshine today. I still hadn’t taken a picture by the time I was going out to my photographic club this evening, picking up a friend on the way. I had the compact with me, so took this shot in their garden before we went to our AGM.
