The beach is always a special place to have some time out.

I hate jetskis I really do, but sometimes, just occasionally, they make a good photo!
Sometimes its worth following the seagulls to find out what the fuss is all about, this shot was taken on its on, no rapid fire, a single snap at the right moment! I have no idea what was in the sandwich but the gull seemed happy!

Feather frost, my little winter collection of photos would never be complete without a photo of the car roof with the wonderful patterns.
Icicles, never had them like this before, loved trying to time the shot to get the droplet in focus.
I could fill an entire server with photos I have taken in the snow, thankfully only one gets put up on here, April Cottage, how very English! This is also the only photo I have ever doctored from the original, I have to admit to having removed the unsightly TV aerial from the roof.
First trip out with the new lens filters, can only help my usually mediocre landscapes!

I am fascinated by trying to photograph the moon, it travels so fast that if you use a shutter speed slower than 1/60 second it blurs which always amazes me.

Well Photography Monthly thought it was my best photo of the day so who am I to argue!
I have a Canon EOS 450D SLR, Sigma 55-200mm lens, a Canon 70-300mm , Canon 50mm F1.8 and a Manfrotto tripod. I don't have Photoshop so what you see is what was taken, barring a small crop or contrast adjustment.
I got a Canon for Christmas 2008 and have not stopped clicking since, best present I ever got, get out for a walk most evenings. The camera gives me a reason to be out, and also helps me look at the world a little differently and usually a little more closely.
