Location: Wivenhoe
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8

Title: Christmas Window
Location: Chelmsford
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Some of the neighbours have gone rather overboard with their flashing light displays in the front window. A straight shot produces something rather crass, but a lot of defocussed bokeh is quite nice.

Title: Icy Stalactites
Location: Chelmer Park
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Originally, I had intended to stay at home snug and warm after my exertions yesterday, and I have another long hike planned for tomorrow. But when I looked outside first thing, the sun was shining. I couldn’t resist the lure of a few more pictures, so took a cautious walk on the icy pavements to a nearby park. I’m glad I did – some more wonderful images were to be had, and there was barely a soul to be seen at 10am – all the other folks were probably at home snug and warm like I should have been. But there’s the old adage:
There’s no such thing as the wrong sort of weather, just the wrong sort of clothing.
And since I had gone out well prepared, I wasn’t actually very cold at all. Having said that, I was glad of the cuppa when I got home an hour later!

Title: Fungal Growth
Location: Hanningfield Nature Reserve
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I enjoyed a walk around the nature reserve today, and found these intriguing Fungi growing on a log.

Title: Odd Men Out
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: Another day of meetings, driving and horrible rain. By the time I got home, I had to find my own light and thought this might make a nice image. It’s a tealight holder lit from inside with a desk lamp.

Day #700
Title: 700 Bubbles
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: Sorry for the uninspired shot again today. I wanted to do something to mark the milestone of Day 700 but was really stuck for ideas. I’ve encountered rather a lot of bubblewrap in the last few days during my cupboard tidying, and I love the stuff for popping. I bet I could do 700 on the trot, no problem.

Title: Fluid Shadows
Location: Chelmsford
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: I managed to catch some briefly interesting light in town this lunchtime, after a morning meeting. This is down by a new walkway along the River Chelmer.
