This Wednesday I was at Buscot House in Oxfordshire. The visit was cleverly timed to be on the hottest July day on record. it was a stifling heat with no breeze and the bottles of water were soon depleted. The shot below is of copies of the terracotta army that stand in the gardens of … Continue reading Out and About

I know I should but…
My Nikon D7100 has some spots on the sensor. I've tried the rocket blower, but they just don't want to move. It's time for a proper sensor clean. I know I should do it myself - and I have in the past - but I hate doing it. The last time I tried cleaning my … Continue reading I know I should but…
Out and About
Today I was out and about at Lyveden New Bield a National Trust property in Northamptonshire. The lodge and garden were created by Sir Thomas Tresham between 1595 and 1603. Upon his death in that year, the family wealth depleted, the estate passed to his son Francis Tresham. However Francis along with his cousins Catesby … Continue reading Out and About
Out and About – Laggan Wood
This is another image taken whilst I was in Scotland. This time we had parked in the lovely little village of Comrie and walked along the top of the gorge in which the River Laggan ran. The out ward trip was on the western side of the river and the return trip was on the … Continue reading Out and About – Laggan Wood
Out and About – Pitlochry
I've only just managed to get back to my desk at home to start looking at some of the images that I have taken over the last ten days or so. Firstly I went to Perth in Scotland for a Royal Photographic Society group meeting for four days and when I came back it was … Continue reading Out and About – Pitlochry
Out and About – Witley Court
Today I paid another visit to Witley Court. It was promising to be another lovely early spring day and I had three photo projects that I had to be getting on with. Witley court started off as a medieval manor house but was bought by the Foley family in 1655. Over the next two centuries … Continue reading Out and About – Witley Court
Out and About – Avoncroft Museum
Today I was in Worcestershire just outside Bromsgrove visiting the Avoncroft Museum. The museum is home to over 30 different historic buildings that have been rescued, dismantled and debuilt in 19 acres of countryside. I took the D800 and the 50mm f/1.8 standard lens with me today, as I thought that I would need the … Continue reading Out and About – Avoncroft Museum
Out and About – Croome
Today I was out and about at the National Trust property at Croome in Worcestershire. It has had a chequered history over the years being owned by the Earls of Coventry who emplyed Capability Brown to design the house and gardens and some of the interiors by Robert Adam. During the Second World War it … Continue reading Out and About – Croome
Out and About – Bradgate Park
Today I was wandering around Bradgate Park in Leicestershire with the D800. The weather was bright and sunny, but with a vicious northerly wind that cut across the top of the hills and sliced into the valleys. I decided that I would use the camera on manual with auto ISO which I have never done … Continue reading Out and About – Bradgate Park
Out and About – Stowe
It was off to a favourite haunt today as I headed south to Stowe Gardens. It was a bit of a last minute choice as I realised that it was half-term week here in the UK and the schools were on holiday. That means virtually everywhere is going to be over-run with parents, baby-buggies, pre-teens … Continue reading Out and About – Stowe
