The prize arrive's

See all 10 shots


A few weeks ago (click for blogs) I announced that "just add water.." had won the watch photo of the year at bdwf.net and the prize was a $400 credit from Jomashop.com, I picked two watches and this week they arrived from the US. The watches were a Citizen Nighthawk Eco-Drive and a Luminox Navy SEAL dive watch. These are a few shots I took on the day they arrived.

Thanks to Jomashop for putting up the prize and getting the watches to me quickly :o)

This is a full size shot, I have only cropped off the sides to make it square, Taken 2 weeks ago with a 600mm F8 mirror lens + 2x Converter. Its still not pin point sharp and next time I will have to up the iso as I think its the movement of the moon that's blurring it.

Hope & Castleton Walk

See all 42 Photos


Spent the day in the Hope and Castleton area of Derbyshire, with Tony, Phil & Michelle, and Jake. It did not get much above freezing all the way around the 9 mile circular walk but we still had a good laugh, mainly at my expense I may add! :o) These are a few of the "Snaps" taken during the day. Glad Phil and Michelle made the long drive up and that Tony could make time in his busy schedule. Lets do it again soon...
