My October 2008 Photos
One of my hobbies is photography. I enjoy admiring other peoples work and I also enjoy taking my own photos. In early 2007 I bought myself a Canon EOS 400D Digital SLR, I’d never touched an SLR before then. I soon fell in love with it, my pictures were alive! Since then, I still use this camera, but I now have several lenses, my favourite is my Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 (wide angle), and I also have a variety of accessories, filters, tripod, remote control for long exposures… and a bag to carry it all in!
I didn’t want this blog to be plain text, nor did I want it to just be ramblings, so to brighten it up, here’s some photos I have taken during October 2008:
The Gullet Quarry in Malvern, Worcestershire
On a trip to my home town, Malvern, I took a drive to this old quarry to show my girlfriend. Armed with the camera in the boot, we arrive and the sky against the rock was too good an opportunity to miss! I shot in RAW and when we returned home I used my trusted Photoshop to generate me the images I needed to create this High Dynamic Range (HDR) image.
Autumn Trees Against Blue Sky
Fantastic Autumn colours against this amazing blue sky!
Riverside Staines
Interesting structure, located by the river in Staines, Egham. Unfortunately I didn't see any information explaining what it's for, but I shot this and then later realised how amazingly blue the sky was on that day!
The Moon at Dusk
Dusk in Egham, Surrey. The moon is almost full, and the sky is a pale grey blue, I had to shoot! I'm really pleased with this result, but, but, if only it were sharper! The level of detail is superb, click the image for the full size.
Train Long Exposure in Egham
One Sunday evening waiting on a bridge in Egham... Equipped with my camera, tripod and remote controller. My first attempts at this type of long exposure photography.
Christmas Pringles in Tesco
In Britain, supermarkets tend to go crazy in the run up toward Christmas. My local Tesco has already stacked its shelves of Christmas junk food (yummy!) all the way to the ceilings!
