Tintern

I had a day off on Friday and went out to take photos at Tintern Abbey - somewhere I've never actually been before. I actually took the tripod with me and put it to good use for once - I'm really very happy with these photos - a good morning's effort. " order_by="sortorder"]...

Hart’s Bakery

On Tuesday I got up at the somewhat unprecedented hour of 5:15 and went to take some photos at Hart's Bakery near (almost under) Temple Meads in Bristol. I'd asked owner Laura Hart a couple of weeks before about going in to take some photos and she was more than happy for me to do so, and was wonderfully helpful throughout. Here are a selection of the photos - I've converted pretty much all of them to black and white, and they seem to work well like that, but I have included both colour and b&w versions of those that work well in both. Hopefully I'll be going back in a week or two to do some more, at a more sensible hour when Laura prepares the bread and pastries for the next day....

Even more Westonbirt

And yet more pics from Westonbirt Arboretum. The first ones are from some slide film that I took in the autumn, that I've only just got round to scanning. The last two are black and white pinhole shots from last weekend....

Westonbirt in black and white

We went for a wander round Westonbirt Arboretum this afternoon, and it just seemed like a monochrome kind of day*. Most of these have been converted using one of the Lightroom presets, but I like the dark, heavy contrasty look. I also took the panoramic pinhole camera and used a roll of Ilford B&W, so very much a B&W day. * Apart from the one I've left in colour!...

Stars, Butterflies and Black & White

As the weather was nice, I took a half day on Friday and headed down to Dorset to camp for the night - the annual Perseid meteor shower was due to peak on Saturday night but I'd seen that the forecast wasn't great for then so tried to make the most of Friday. And it was well worth it - the skies were fantastically clear and I had a great view of the stars - and managed to see probably 20 Perseids over the course of a couple of hours until the moon rose just after 1am. This is the International Space Station And so is this - would have been a far better picture if I'd taken a bit more time to think about it and compose it properly. This is the only shot I got that includes a Perseid. I must have taken about 50 photos of the sky but this is the only one that caught something. Not as easy as...
