Reflections in the River Thames at Reading – looking west, near to Caversham lock (behind me), with Reading bridge just visible in the distance. The photograph was taken on Friday during a lunchtime walk alongside the Thames – I had just walked across the weir and Caversham lock (picture to follow) and saw this house…

Dusk on Shipton Down – Took Sparky for a walk up to the top of the hill yesterday – I had my camera but was about 20 minutes too late to see the sunset. I was still able to get some shots with dramatic colour, however – It would have been better with a tripod but…
Gasometer at Dawn – another photograph taken just before dawn of the gasometer between the River Kennet and River Thames in Reading, Berkshire. Taken from a footbridge that crosses the River Kennet. Because there was so little light, the shutter speed is rather slow – thankfully the OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) in the lens works…
The Thames at Sunrise – and the coldest so far this year! It was -7ºC this morning when I was driving to the station – I doubt it had changed much from that by the time I got here by the side of the River Thames near Reading, Berkshire. Another superb sunrise and a little…
Swans on the River Kennet in Reading at lunchtime today – Looks like one swan did not get the message that there was a chance of food from a passer-by! As I had nothing for them, the one feeding might have been the most satisfied! Technical details: Fuji X-E1;55mm(XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 R LM OIS);f/5.6;1/170s;ISO200; Handheld; Edited…
This is Sparky the Lab! Our 22 month golden labrador retriever – he weighs in at 36kg currently – we blame his father, Toby is a big fluffy retriever – His mother, Iska, is quite a small labrador in comparison Sparky is loungng on a large circular trampoline – I think he sees it as…
A view of St Mary’s Church, Shipton-under-Wychwood, above the tree tops – taken a few weeks ago in the late afternoon while returning from a walk with Sparky, our (large) golden Lab-Retriever. A beautiful, late afternoon sun lighting the spire with stunning colour standing out against the stormy sky – glorious! Technical details: Fuji X-E1;35mm(XF…
Long shadow – a shadow self-portrait! After a long hiatus, I plan to post more photographs…I didn’t stop taking photographs, so have plenty in reserve! This photograph was taken today, while taking Sparky for a late afternoon walk – the sun was low in the sky, giving us interesting shadows 🙂
Here is a compiled shot of the Lunar Eclipse that occurred early on 28th September 2015 – made up from 10 images, each around 5 minutes apart. This shows the entry of the moon into the Earth’s umbral shadow and, once fully in shadow, the rusty red ‘blood’ moon due to being lit by the…
