Time laps video of the shots taken to make the Image Four Seasons (see the post below). All hand held (cant you just tell) with my mobile phone over a rough 12 month period. Just thought it was different and I never do video so here goes :)

Exposure time for this was about 12 months at f8 :) taken during a winter, spring, summer and autumn using my Nokia N85 mobile phone. I nearly missed the autumn shot as there was a big storm that blew nearly all the leaves from the tree in about 10 hours...

Something a bit different today :) I was trying to tell a story with one photograph of the disappointment I felt after England's lackluster performance during the world cup and had this shot in mind from the outset. Not 100% sure I nailed it but it was fun to make the photo rather than just take it........

This was taken through glass but think I will be happy with this lens :)

My third time at Oulton Park but the first on a car track day. There was a nice variety of car’s there including some Aston Martins and a few Track race cars, so you never knew what would be next around the corner. Started off at Druids Corner then after lunch went to Lodge corner for a hour.
