Year in pictures part 3

September

In September we went to Thassos, Greece for two weeks. Our hotel looked due West so there was some fantastic sunset potential.

October

Our second wedding anniversary meant a trip to Brighton. The weather was absolutely awful, but I managed to get two photos that I was quite pleased with.

November

At the end of November we had "Christmas" with some university friends. To build up an appetite we went for a walk to the pub across the fields as the sun was setting.

December

We spent Christmas with my parents in the Cotswolds. On Boxing Day we went into Broadway to see the Hunt. A lot of build up for not a lot of actual event...

Although the Morris Dancers were out enjoying themselves...

And of course, there has to be a bird shot, and as it is Christmas...

And that's that. Bring on 2009!

May

In May we went to Carter's Steam Fair in Holyport. I had high hopes for some semi-darkness long exposure type photos, but only one actually worked.



June

June was all about flowers. A trip to my parents' house in the Cotswolds resulted in some macro shots and some other flower studies.




July
In July I didn't take any photos. Amazing, I know, but there it is.

August
August included a trip to Cliveden House, and the following shot of the Tortoise Fountain (I know it's not a tortoise...)

And I recently had a go at monochroming it...
