Photography Day at Tutbury Castle

We heard about this event whilst at the Burton Photographic Society, so after returning from Liverpool, I prepped the camera and kit and prepared to visit the castle.

The weather was good, a bit bright but ok.

Below are a small selection of the photographs that I took that day:

I think I will have to look for a safer hobby, like parachute jumping !

Liverpool

Our intrepid photogs chose to visit Liverpool, birthplace of The Beatles, home of some beautiful architecture and of course the Liver birds !

Below are some of my photographs from that day:

Waddington 2011

After two busy weekends, I am now trying to work with the images and get some uploaded.

Slightly out of order, I will start with Waddington 2011.

Well, I  did not get to go last year, so this year I pulled out all the stops !  The weather was good, and yes a little tanned (ok burnt), but it was worth it !

Below is a very small selection of the photographs that I took at this year’s air show:

Views of Photography

Something different, for the Easter Weekend.

Saw this article on the BBC news section of their website:

Paul Graham: Photographs 1981-2006

What do you think ?

Return to Whitby

Another of our trips, this time to Whitby, hoping for a repeat of last year’s Goth Weekend, but unfortunately the British weather had other ideas !

This time there were only three of us, Jim, Steve and myself.

After the essential stop for nourishment (ok a full English Breakfast), we got to Whitby and parked near the Abbey.

Below are some of my photographs from the day:

Whilst at Whitby we did have a look around at other sites;

Although today was a cold one, the opportunity for portrait photography was still quite good, but not as good as last year.

The next  Goth Weekend is 4 – 6th November 2011.

When the worst happens

I saw the following article, having been registered with this website, and I thought it might be handy for others to look at, just in case !

It does work, I have used this method myself.  But it is important to note though that any type of file can be recovered from a memory card, USB pen drive, hard disk, etc.
