    It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

    This past week I’ve taken a pre-Christmas holiday to the south coast of the UK for some shopping and sight seeing. And this included visiting stately homes that dress up for Christmas. Two National Trust properties – who do a nice job with limited budgets – and the very grand Blenheim Palace

    Hinton Ampner

    Hinton Ampner is a National Trust property pretty near Winchester in the South Downs. This year their Christmas theme was ‘Neverland’.

    Mompesson House

    Mompesson is a National Trust property in the heart of Salisbury near the Cathedral. Though small they did a lovely job of telling the tale of ‘The Christmas Carol’

    Blenheim Palace

    Blenheim Palace is a much bigger event in a grand private house in Oxfordshire. I’ve been to a previous ‘Nutcracker’ event which was good but this year’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’ was just amazing. So much colour and decoration!

    Daytime / Nighttime

    I look back at older photos and see slightly wobbly & fuzzy night shots. And then I just use my iPhone and manage to get these shots of the harbour at St Ives without even trying. I can understand people thinking there’s been a loss of skill in photography and I’ll generally use a real camera but I do love the ease of capturing in the moment I get with my phone.

  • Accidental Photo: Albert Dock, Liverpool

    P138

    Didn’t mean to take this picture of the paving and chain link fence but I think it works.

    Taken with iPhone 4 and Camera+. Used Clarity mode, golden ratio crop and X-Pro filter.

  • Photos: Haytor & Weymouth with added Clarity

    P124P126

    Haytor Rocks on Dartmoor and Weymouth beach. Both taken with iPhone and both just edited using the new Clarity feature in Camera+. Really livened up what had been lying around as slightly flat shots.

  • Photos: Llandudno on a Spring day

    P111P113

    After the morning fog we now have blue skies and warmth.

  • Photo: old & new in Liverpool

    P104

    The Liver Building seen through the new dock buildings.

  • Photo: Chester Railway Station

    P99

    A chilly, foggy morning at the train station. Taken with Camera+ for iphone using cross process filter.

  • Photo: York Minster

    Photo

    An angle of York Minster. Love the stone masonry of great churches.

  • Photo: Rainbow over the river in York

    Photo

    It did look impressive anyway but the photo has been run through some melodramatic processes. This is a HDR filter and sunset mode.

  • Photo: B&W shot of Fountains Abbey

    Photo

    The main abbey church at Fountains. This is again taken using Camera+ on the iPhone using the Ansel filter.
