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 – Calke Abbey
Today Mrs M and I took ourselves off to one of our favourite NT houses, Calke Abbey. This is the stately home that the Trust obtained in 1985 and found rooms that had been shut off for years and piled with the belongings of the Harper-Crewe family. Rather than restore the estate, the NT carried … Continue reading Out and About – Calke Abbey
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
Out and About – Stratford On Avon
The basin in Stratford today was frozen over. The commercial barges that lay at berth were locked in by the ice and the ever-present ducks and swans looked bemused as they ambled about wondering why the water which hitherto they had floated on, had gone hard. The sun was bright, and obviously showing-off, but it’s … Continue reading Out and About – Stratford On Avon
Why did I take that photograph?
I’m sitting here at my desk currently going through RAW images that I took in June 2014 and wondering why on earth I took them. I know at the time I saw something that I thought was worthwhile recording and then working on, but looking at some of them now I can’t for the life … Continue reading Why did I take that photograph?
Out and About – Stratford on Avon
Not having got the chance to go out for a walk yesterday, Mrs M and I decided to go out this Sunday morning. It was a crisp, sunny day with occasional blasts from a very cold wind. We decided to go to Stratford and walk from the free car park by the side of the … Continue reading Out and About – Stratford on Avon
Out and About – Hatton Locks.
Mrs M and I set out after lunch today for a short walk along the Hatton locks part of the Grand Union canal system. The weather was cold but sunny and we decided to walk towards Warwick for a short while before turning back and getting a coffee at the excellent Hatton Locks café. As … Continue reading Out and About – Hatton Locks.
