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: I Parked The Porsche…
Location: Writtle
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: … under a tree, and it got covered in leaves. Actually, not my Porsche, just one I came across whilst pottering for pictures in Writtle.

Title: Leaden Skies
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: Another busy day at home. During the afternoon, the skies became rather menacing, and I was able to dash outside for a quick shot of the neighbours’ tree before the heavens opened.

Title: A Fine Crop Of Fungus
Location: Mountnessing
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Managed a quick walk in Mountnessing today, and found this rather fine crop of fungi growing at the base of a tree. Typical Autumnal scene.

Title: Fryerning Shadows
Location: Fryerning, Essex
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I had an errand to run in Ingatestone this lunch time, so took the opportunity to have a quick walk near Fryerning Church while the sun was out. I rather liked the shadow of this tree against the bare brown field.

Title: On The Horizon
Location: Copford
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I enjoyed a walk near the church in Copford this afternoon, and this was a rather nice tree on the horizon as I was going back to the car.

Title: Autumn Hedgerow
Location: Great Baddow
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: After taking a little walk along a track close to the Marconi Tower in Great Baddow, I caught sight of this lovely autumn hedge with the late afternoon sunlight filtering through from behind.
