Title: Mersey Grey
Location: Liverpool
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: Before heading off for my train south, I managed to find another couple of caches along the Mersey with Alistair. The view was pretty grey over the water – what a contrast to Saturday’s image.
Title: Cutting Edge
Location: Sheffield
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: The morning dawned cold and foggy, and by evening it was back to that too. But for an hour or so in the early afternoon, the sun came out and I was able to dash out for a few photos close to the BarCampSheffield2 venue. This sculpture, Cutting Edge, is located on the pedestrian walkway from the main Railway station and the sun was hitting it in just the right angle for a good picture. We went out geocaching later on, and I got some atmospheric dusk fog shots too, but I still liked this one best for today’s image.
Title: Crisp Afternoon On The River
Location: Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation, near Ulting
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Despite having a bad back, I managed a walk along the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation this afternoon. I started off from Hoe Mill Lock and went to the church at Ulting and back. It was a marvellous autumn day, with clear blue skies, bright sun and people messing about in boats. A lovely atmosphere all round.
Title: Dry Dock
Location: Wivenhoe
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I went to Wivenhoe to visit my parents today, as it’s their Wedding Anniversary. We had a lovely walk in Wivenhoe Park and then down by the Quay. This is part of the (relatively) new housing development where an old shipyard used to be, with the old dry dock which has been made into a feature – largely filled in now, but with a small amount of water left to give some nice reflections.
Title: Pavillion Puddle
Location: Brighton
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I travelled down to Brighton this afternoon ready for a conference tomorrow and over the weekend. It was great to catch up with some friends who I haven’t seen for ages. We took a walk around the town, dodging the heavy showers. This puddle was reflecting some of the Pavillion’s minarets quite nicely. A lot of the building is currently in scaffolding, so it’s a bit difficult to get a decent shot of the whole thing.
Title: Elizabethan Reflections
Location: Audley End
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: After a 4-hour meeting in Saffron Waldon today, I managed to spend a little time at Audley End this afternoon. And the sun came out for me!
Title: Bow Wave
Location: Little Baddow
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I spent an enjoyable couple of hours this morning taking a walk along the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation from Paper Mill Lock to Little Baddow Lock. I took a photo for Day #6 near this location, but it’s surprising how different it looks a few months later.
