Title: The Nights Are Drawing in
Location: Galleywood
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Had to pop to the shops this evening on the way home from a client meeting. By the time I was heading home, it was just after seven, but the sun was sinking low already. A reminder that we’re not far off the autumnal equinox, and then the gentle slide towards dark nights once more.

Day #203
Title: Air Miles
Location: Galleywood
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: The school holidays have begun, and there seemed to be an awful lot of con trails in the sky this evening. Must be everyone going on their hols.
Day #169
Title: Afterglow
Location: Galleywood Common
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 75-300mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: Another busy day at home, it was about 9:15pm before I realised there was a nice sunset to be seen outside, so I nipped out to my favourite west-facing bit of the common to take today’s image. There’s a saying amongst photographic judges, who often see so many sunsets in the course of their careers they get rather immune to their wonders. So here it is, ABS – “another bl**dy sunset” 😉
Day #164
Title: Dusk Grasses
Location: Galleywood Common
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I took a few pictures in the garden earlier today, but wasn’t really happy with them – they weren’t terribly inspiring. I’d almost forgotten about taking any more until about 8:30 when I noticed the evening clouds turning nice colours outside. So I headed out to a favourite spot on Galleywood Common and found some grasses waving in the breeze looking westwards. Crouching down low (another different viewpoint for this week’s theme), I managed to get some interesting shapes in silhouette against the setting sun.
Day #161
Title: Red Stripes
Location: Galleywood Common
Camera:Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I took a few pictures this morning, but nothing really grabbed me. So I took my camera with me when I went out this evening. My meeting finished around 9:30pm and the sun was just setting low behind a bank of clouds as I stopped on Galleywood Common to bag picture of the day.
Day #141
Title: The Cowparsley Path
Location: Galleywood
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Spent all day working hard finishing off client work, as well as putting the finishing touches to my own revamped photo website. As the light was fading, I went out to get a takeaway – making a detour via this scene – a reprise of Easter Sunday, a rather different view this time.
Day #106
Title: Fields Of Gold
Location: Brook Farm, Galleywood
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Had a quick drive around south of Galleywood and north of West Hanningfield at lunchtime, when the sun was out for a while. Some Oilseed Rape crops must have been planted early as they are already flowering round there. I know some people aren’t too keen on this crop, but it does provide a splash of colour in the landscape for us photographers!
