2008 – My Year In Pictures

Title: Jingle Bells
Location: Wivenhoe
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: Merry Christmas all! This is a decoration on my parents’ Christmas tree.

Title: A Reviving Cuppa
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: Another day of drab weather and too much work to do. Still, a nice, reviving cuppa works wonders.

Title: The Heart Of A Lily
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: I nearly missed taking a shot today! Made it by about 20 minutes, after having had a very busy day and then getting home just after 11pm to realise I’d still not taken anything. The lovely  bouquet I got for judging the other day was looking a little bit sad, but I managed to home in on one lily and take a few macro shots of its central form. Then I remembered I’d not changed my camera back to GMT, so it nearly got recorded as being taken on 28th after all!

Title: These Boots…
Location: At home
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: I’ve been doing quite a bit of walking recently (not far by some standards, but I get about). And since this week’s 366 Theme is Boots, I thought I would present you with my walking boots. Didn’t have the opportunity to use them today though – I was busy at home at it was grey and grim outside

Title: Climate Change
Location: At home
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: Although it was lovely and sunny out today, I was stuck home working for most of it. This afternoon, when I got something out of the fridge and took off the lid, there was a rather attractive group of water droplets formed on the underside. Precipitation in my house!

Title: Irridescence
Location: At home
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: I wore my new necklace and matching earrings today. And I was pleasantly surprised that at least half a dozen people commented how nice it was! So I thought I would take a picture with me modelling it.

Title: Enigma XI
Location: Galleyend
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: I enjoyed a 5 mile walk this afternoon, in search of geo-caches in the area. And I found my first one (#GC1G67Y) in Great Baddow. However, since the idea is to keep their exact location secret unless you’re a goe-cacher, I’m not about to publish a picture of it! Instead, here’s an enigma for you, which I found early on in my walk, near Galleyend.
