In all the time I’ve been to Stourhead I’ve never been up to the Temple Of Apollo and the first time I do I clamber down a cliff at 10pm. Quite glad I did though.

….16…..
As you can see I’m really working on my soon to be (really) here exhibition…
This was the view from my office this lunchtime while I was doing my real job, pesky real job, putting me in all these wonderful locations around Wiltshire and distracting me so much that I need to get a 4 photo panorama of Roundway Down near Calne. A neolithic hill fort with commanding views across Devizes and a large swathe of the Wiltshire countryside. The light was hard, hence the B&W edit but I like! ;o)
45…
I’m 45 years old…. How the funking funk did that happen?
One could have a bit of a mid (that makes my final age 90 and that ain’t gona happen) life crisis… Or one could take pictures like this and remember the glare of the sun, the bite of the cold Wiltshire morning and bugger the lens flare!
To grab an old cliche by the scruff of the neck, tomorrow’s the first day of the rest of my life and if I have a few more like this then I am indeed a lucky Fella!
Mahoosive love to my wonderful family, Sandie, Reece and Kayleigh I love you soooo much!
And to the rest of you…
Peace Peeps! XXX
The Wells Of Silence
“Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence…”
Guess who’s been Rock Banding! ;o) And going through some more of the shots from Osmington Mills, this one was looking over towards Portland, the land mass on the left.
Just A Blip…
5000 Years or 1/640th Of A Second, both just moments as far as the universe is concerned…
A lesser trodden part of the Avebury stone circle and a Crow.
Currently listening to The Human Universe by some Fella called Prof. Brian Cox, highly recomended.
My World…
There are no words I can use to express how proud I am of my family but as I come to the end of this thing I can only say thank you for putting up with The Old Mans obsession and for everything you do and are! Love you guys! XXX
The camera goes away on the 1st Jan…. Maybe
What The Sea Could See If The Sea Could See…
Up the beach at midnight… 
Because I’ve got so many better things I could be doing…
Night peeps! x
Manual 365/362 Seaweed?
What am I going to do? 3 days from the end and all I can find to take photos of is seaweed, I could struggle to finish this thing…. ;oD
Peace Peeps!
Manual 365/355.1 The Great Optimist…
This place makes things…
It makes happy dogs. I know most dogs are happy whatever the weather but there’s something that just pops when these guys get too the beach…
It kinda works on photographers too!
Needed an early (dark) start to get the mile and a half to Tresaith but it was most definitely worth it!
Peace Peeps!
Manual 365/345 Some Days Nothing Works…
So it’s a good job I’ve got quite an extensive back catalogue.
Today’s tip, go panorama, my favourite method is handheld, choose the far left of the scene you want to capture and relax, take note of the details in on the far right of the frame and click. use the markers in the viewfinder to keep the camera level and slowly turn to the right until the details you had on the right-hand side are now on the left and repeat as before. Most cameras have a panorama setting which is handy but I think most of them revert to Jpeg when taking shots using this method. Personally, I prefer the versatility of shooting RAW (details coming up soon) and editing in Lightroom, there’s a merge option but if you get above 3 images it’s better to use Photoshop.
I will elaborate further in a future post.
In the meantime, today’s shot is from Chesil Beach earlier this year.
Peace Peeps! x
