My photography has ramped up considerably in 2014 and much of it has been taking photos of local sporting events and primarily parkruns at various locations. Ive also been able to do some wildlife photography plus some odds and ends of concerts, landscape, art, and architecture. And I've not earned a single solitary sheckle for …
Albino Blackbird
We've just spent a few days with my parents at their home in Gloucestershire which was very nice. While there I was able to take some photos of an unusual but regular visitor to their garden - an Albino Backbird. He was quite shy so I could only get photos through the double glazing but …
Basildon parkrun #37
Yesterday (12 December) I was volunteer photographer again at Basildon parkrun. I hadn't intended to be out photographing parkruns with Christmas approaching and an evening out to see Bombay Bicycle Club but they were in need of someone plus they were going to be running in the reverse direction for the first time so I decided …
Southend Egret
Yesterday I was supposed to photographing the inaugural Brentwood parkrun however a nasty RTA in Southend mean't that I was held up so long that I didn't get there (sorry again guys). I returned home in a bit of a foul mood and decided as I had all my warm clothes on and my gear all …
Southend Fireworks – The sequel
Last weekend I had a go at photographing the fireworks on Southend seafront. It was fun and spurred me to try again and improve from the lessons learned. You can read about that experience here. So I head down again this evening and had another go. The weather was much better this evening - dry and …
Braintree BMX
This afternoon I traveled north to Braintree to go and watch some BMX racing. This was partly as a friend was taking part as she and her lad are members of the club there. I don't recall ever going to watch BMX racing although I'm sure I did watch some at the 2012 Olympics on …
Warmwell Snowsports, Dorset
Last week we had a most excellent week staying at the Parkdean Warmwell park near Dorchester, Dorset. We have been staying at Warmwell for a while and this was our 5th and longest visit. We had a great lodge and the park facilities are very good - thoroughly recommended in fact. One of the big …
Maldon Prom parkrun
Yesterday morning I took a short drive from Southend to Maldon to attend Maldon Prom parkrun. Not to run but to take some photos. Regular readers will know that I like to photograph local running events partly as I like photography and partly as my knackered old legs aren't up to running anymore.I have photographed …
Structurally FOUND
On Saturday I stumbled across @StructureFOUND on twitter and thence to http://www.structurallyfound.org.uk. Structurally found is a photographic competition being held over the OpenHouse weekend of 20/21st September. The idea is to instagram or tweet any number of photos each showing one or more of the nine structural forms listed on the website with the appropriate …
Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Whilst holidaying near Harrogate last week we spent the day at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near Wakefield in South Yorkshire. It was a brilliant day out enjoyed by all the family and it justifiably deserves the 2014 Museum of the Year award that it collected recently. Needless to say it is a photographers paradise and …
