  • It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

    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!

  • Another Eden

    Another Eden

    A recent holiday in the southwest let me make another trip to the beautiful Eden Project. Taking with me my trusty Canon EOS M-50 and its shiny new dedicated macro lens it gave me a chance to capture some photos I like. The lens is great as it can be used as a fixed 28mm lens but then lets you get incredibly close for macro shots.

  • Photo: Daisy, daisy

    Experimenting with a new app I have called Vintique on a daisy photo I took with my SLR at Hidcote garden. The effects are, as ever in these apps, a bit exaggerated but I think they can work quite well in certain circumstances.

    The bright yellow gorse flowers against a turquoise sea on the North Cornwall Coast at a place called “Hell’s Mouth”. Lovely place for a walk

  • Photo: Farmhouse kitchen – still life

    I was editing photos for uploading to flickr and came across this one taken at Shugborough Hall on April 10th 2011. There was just something fabulous about the way the contents had been arranged by the National Trust that worked really well with the low light in the kitchen.

  • Photos: Big Cats at South Lakes Wildlife Park

    Some photos taken at the South Lakes Wildlife Park near Dalton in Furness. Great place with high walkways around the enclosures so you get an unobstructed view of the animals. They have Sumatran and Amur tigers and some beautiful jaguars too:
