Another one from my afternoon out near Coalville with Andy. I had been playing with my old polariser for my sigma 10-20, but got bored and brought out my sigma 70-300, and took a couple of snaps of the distant skyline, not really thinking it would amount to much. I really like the effect here - I can’t help but think of parallax scrolling from old arcade games, which shows me up for bespectacled poindexter I am.

I went out with Andy on friday, to try and get some new pictures for the first time in weeks, and was a little dispirited at the time, as nothing seemed inspiring, and I wandered around wondering what the hell I was doing, and if I actually cared about taking pictures any more. Thankfully, when I got home, I was pleased with enough of what I’d taken to be somewhat heartened again, so I won’t be throwing away the camera just yet

On a bike ride a couple of weeks ago, I noticed the stark patterns created by the heavy ploughing of this field, and as I was snapping away, a break in the cloud caused these lovely sunbeams to appear. This was a handheld HDR, which can come out terribly if you’re unlucky, but photomatix was able to match these up pretty well.

This is one from October last year. I spent about an hour skulking around in this graveyard as the sun set, avoiding opprobrious glances from passersby. This was a shot I didn’t think too much of at the time, but I just came across it and rather like it (especially if you look at the larger view)
