Today we were at Upton House in Warwickshire. After the tumultuous thunderstorms of the night before, the weather was getting hotter again. The National Trust have made a really great show at the house decking it out in a second world war style. There were tents outside, sandbags, posters and staff were dressed in costumes of … Continue reading Out and About

Out and About
Yesterday I went to Whipsnade Zoological Gardens in Bedfordshire. I went there last year with the family, but this time it would be purely to take photographs. I used the D7100 and partnered it with a 70-210 f/2.8 zoom, which on an APS-C D7100 would mean it was acting like a 105-315 zoom. This is … Continue reading Out and About
Out and About
Today's photograph is from Charlecote Park where I went on Wednesday after an abortive attempt to go to Compton Verney to see the Martin Parr exhibition. Anyway the latter didn't happen so as I was passing Charlecote I popped in. I spent the next two and a half hours, wandering around the gardens, watched herds of deer … Continue reading Out and About

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…

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 – Fountains Abbey
Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire is one of my favourite places in the county. The ruins of this former Cistercian abbey are huge and magnificent. At the time of the Dissolution it was the richest Cistercian abbey in Britain, which no doubt helped in its demise. It was a lovely warm spring afternoon when Mrs M … Continue reading Out and About – Fountains Abbey

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
