The Eden Project

A shot of some flowers taken on a day trip to the Eden project. I like the composition but i cannot help thinking it would have been a much better shot if the flowers had been in their prime.

odds and ends

Here's a few more of my photos. No specific category today just a few of my snaps which hopefully you will enjoy. If you are reading this could you please leave the odd comment just to prove either way if anyone is actually visiting this blog!

Sandymouth Beach at high tide

This one was taken on an Eos 300D and although I cannot remember the exact shutter speed it was long around 30 seconds. I used a tripod. Notice the misty sea and blurred sky ?
At the time this photo was taken a school of mackerel were chasing small fish around the bay causing the fry to leap onto the beach to escape !!! I had some basic tackle in the boot of my car and while I took this photo my wife caught our tea.

This beach is a great place for fishing in fact its just a great place full stop. Its easily accessible with a National Trust car park. Joe Cornish has taken photo's here. I don't think he's managed any as good as mine though! ;)

Just kidding Joe..... I know you read this blog for the tips !!

Widemouth Bay - Cornwall

Luminous Landscape

As well as taking photos in or around my home town near Barnsley I enjoy snapping away further afield. Cornwall is a particular favourite for many reasons, one being the fantastic coastline which is second to none. Another reason it's where I met my wife.

I have also spent some time in other areas of the UK and the following posts are photos from some of the areas visited.

Most of these photos were taken on a Canon Eos 2od which I bought second hand a few years back.

Royd Moor Wind Turbines

Controversial one this, the area around Penistone has numerous windmills. Its getting more, including some twice the size of these on the hillside overlooking Langsett Reservoir. Personally I don't mind them (sorry Dad) but they do make a racket, anyone who's been to Windmills Nursey at Royd Moor will tell you that.

The Hurkling Stones (looking towards Sheffield)

This one is taken within the Peak District National Park.
