Finsthwaite Tarn.

Captured during a walk around Finsthwaite Tarn (High Dam), in The English Lake District, on February 1st. 2013.

Morning Mist.

An exercise in The Rule of Thirds.

Everyone who has studied art, design or photography, should know about The Rule of Thirds - so I'm not going to go into a detailed definition of what it is, and whether or not it is important in composition.

I tend to dislike being bound by rules and conventions.

This shot, however, conforms to the rule.

Frosted.

Wrought shadows.

I took a few photographs on my travels today. There are one or two that I feel may be worth posting. 

This was taken late this afternoon. The low sun, across the River Dee estuary, picking out this ornamental wrought iron balustrade on the front of a house on Parkgate promenade.

I really like the shadow detail and the colour and quality of the light.

Winter horizon.

Late last week, I bought a new compact camera (a Canon PowerShot S100), specifically for moments like this. When it's just impractical to be carrying a DSLR.

Avanti - A moment of peace, in a busy day.

Posted earlier today on Instagram. The Winter sunlight streaming into my favourite café, beautifully highlighting the steam rising from my coffee.

Beaumaris - Anglesey

In September, I stayed for a couple of nights in Beaumaris on Anglesey, off the North Wales mainland. 

Here are two images from that stay.
