Red Dress

Had a great time in Milton Keynes today working with some fab people ... MANY thanks to Legge for inviting me along.

Have posted a few images on FB ... http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150458071148798.383580.750413797&type=3

Setting myself a challenge - Christmas lights

We now have the Christmas lights on in the town centre and I've notice LOTS of private households have started putting up theirs. So, in the next few days, I'm going out to do a bit of night photography and see if I can capture them in all their glory - Watch this space ...

Collecting stamps for charity.

Since it's now the 1st of December I think it safe to start talking about Christmas! ;-)

Mail services the world over carry millions of extra items at this time of year and that means millions of extra stamps - There are MANY charities that take old used stamps and turn them into CASH to help their fundraising efforts.

It only takes a few seconds to remove the stamps from the envelopes and if enough of us take that time, we can help to make a difference.

Our 'personal' choice of charity is Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) (link below), but there are many more that will happily accept your stamps; a quick 'Google' will help you find a charity near you.

Hope YOU can help. Thank-you

FSID http://fsid.org.uk/page.aspx?pid=474 will accept any quantity of used stamps, (it helps if they are sorted into UK and foreign). They can be sent to :-
FSID (stamps)

A steady hand needed - Jupiter shot hand-held

Had a really nice clear sky earlier, (just before the fog and cloud rolled in). Noticed Jupiter was looking nice and bright in the sky so tried a hand-held shot using a Canon EOS 7D with a 100-300 lens attached. Put the lense on manual focus and set it to infinity, whacked the zoom up to 300mm, set the camera at f5.6 and 1/60th sec at ISO 6400. Got this result, (heavily cropped) ... Will try same shot another night on a tripod and compare the results!

Updated website ...

Have been updating my website all week ... Not finished yet, but this is the latest.

Three Photos, Three seasons ... One day = Crazy Climate

I went to get into the car this morning and noticed that next spring's crocuses have started to show, (very early). It struck me that my garden is now showing THREE seasons all at the same time. I still have SUMMER tomatoes ripening on the vine, quite happy in the garden with no protection. I also have some of the trees showing their AUTUMN colours and now next years SPRING bulbs have started to show!

We are well into November now and still not had a frost here - In fact, it was mild enough for me to sit out in the garden, (in shirt-sleeves/no jumper or coat) with a coffee and read the newspaper.
