An attempt at trying to take a different perspective on things and I have to say I rather like the results. I must do it more often.

I walked from Wells to Brancaster Staithe today, a pleasingly varied walk with everything from peaceful pine forest the open beach and salt marshes.

I rather liked this, the footprint of a dog and his master.

A very minimalist seascape.

And a B&W photo taken near Brancaster Staithe

This was taken in a derelict building and I thought it had a certain resonance.

Something a little different. I thought I’d try and track down some white admiral butterflies. They’re quite rare and are a very difficult thing to photograph because they like to keep quite well up in the leaf canopy. I think these are some of the best photos I’ve taken of them though.

I took this as I passed by when I was walking, it was almost 30 degrees C all day so the church was a welcome, cool, respite.

One or two photos taken in Wroxham on a beautiful summer’s evening.

Just a couple of photos I took at a vintage car show.

I spent a very pleasant week in Normandy and took a few picture whilst there.

More woods photos, I thought I’d revisit the same place with my SLR this time. Interestingly I struggled to get such good pictures as on my previous visit.

I’m never 100% convinced about very wide angle lenses, the results of using them can be very striking but they do give such and exaggerated perspective that the images can look ridiculous. I think I’m coming around to the belief that 18mm on a full frame sensor (12mm on a crop sensor) is the ideal wide angle length.
