This photograph of frosted teasles was taken on a walk near home on a very cold morning between Christmas and New Year 2014 – while it was cold (well below 0ºC) the sun was out and made it feel warmer – the frost was, by this time starting to melt fast in the sun –…
…of 2014! And so we come to the last post of 2014 – this photograph was taken this morning at sunrise on Shipton Down – another cold night, though had warmed up slightly to only -1ºC by this stage, though the wind was biting! A very light dusting of snow and a frost made the…
Taken one evening, a couple of weeks ago – a crisp, clear night. The waxing gibbous moon looking majestic in the sky! For me, it is all about the light (as a photographer, it always is!) – while I love a full moon, looking at this one you see lots of intricate and interesting details due to…
A solitary red leaf in a puddle of dark leaves – pretty much as I found it, I removed one yellow leaf to eliminate it as a distraction. I had been walking in a park near to Carterton Leisure Centre while my daughter was having a swimming lesson on Saturday, many of the trees were turning,…
Now for something a bit different! This is a photograph of the night sky with the tail end of the transit of the International Space Station – this was taken at 19:20 BST, around 45 minutes after sunset – I only caught the end of the transit (so will have to try again!) –…
Spent yesterday afternoon on a walk with my daughter, Freya, near home armed with boxes for blackberries, listening to music (you can’t really avoid it!) from the Big Feastival which is held a short distance away near Kingham. Picked enough for one full box of blackberries…and got lots of injuries (shorts weren’t such a great idea…
This photograph was taken a few days ago on the way to the station at the time of the super moon – just as it was setting – the sun was just starting to rise directly behind me. I love the subtle purple colours in the sky. Not much post processing done here except to lift…
After a long absence from this site, I’m back – work has been all consuming with some very long days and very little time for photography – however, that is now changing…for the better! The photographs here were taken a couple of weeks ago on a sunny Saturday – these are the Rollright Stones, near…
This is a photograph of the the River Windrush taken at Minster Lovell in Oxfordshire – a mostly bright day, with clouds for extra interest! While not a waterfall (I don’t know of any nearby), the river is quite turbulent, so lends itself to a long exposure as I did here – I took several…
This photograph was taken in the Wychwood Wild Garden in Shipton-under-Wychwood – a fantastic day – sunny, clear blue sky, temperatures above 20˚C on Sunday 16th March 2014. We had just been to The Lamb Inn in Shipton for lunch (recommended!) – we ate a birthday lunch for my wife outside (pretty good for March in the…
