Out and About: Croome Park

I have been a little tardy of late in updating A Sensored View but here's a picture I took at Croome Park of the Marshall ladies.

Out and About – Hanbury Hall

We were at Hanbury Hall today on a beautiful spring-like day. It really was nice to be out in the sunshine and the warmth was really beginning to be felt.

Out and About: Stratford on Avon

I was out and about in Stratford today, expressly for the purpose of testing the new 18-55 lens I had just got for my Fujifilm X-E2. It was a dreadfully dark monotone day.
