Regular visitors to my website will have noticed that I have not updated it or added any photos to my gallery for a few months. The truth is that I have had so little time recently to take any photos so much so that in the past 3 months I think I've only shot something like 10 frames! I'm hoping to be able to start shooting more very soon but in the mean time I have just set up the facilty to order prints of many of my photos in a range of sizes from Photobox.

When in September 2005 my wife and I made our first trip to the Lake District we loved it so much up there that we vowed to return. Well almost exactly 4 years later we did just that and have just returned from a two week holiday up there. Whereas last time we stayed in the tiny village of Troutbeck close to Windermere, this time we stayed practically on the banks of Ullswater close to the lovely village of Pooley Bridge.
This weekend we made a trip to Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent primarily as a birthday treat for my wife's niece but I also took my camera gear with me in the hope of getting some new shots of the animals. So I took along my Canon EOS 30D and my Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L USM along with my Canon 2x Teleconverter and a monopod to see what I could get.

Last weekend we visited Standen which is owned by the National Trust which is a lovely house set in beautiful grounds in East Grinstead, West Sussex. Not only is it a nice place to simply look around but it also meant that I could try and get a few photos of the many flowers there as I don't often photograph floral subjects.
Enjoy. |
