Picking the exact moment is not something that landscape photographers have to do too much (on the scale of seconds that is) A Ride On The Watercress Line as the title suggests was exactly that. It was a family day out (a day out with Thomas the Tank engine no less!) On the way between Ropley and Arlesford I spotted this scene as we flashed by, I wasn't that quick but on the return journey I was ready , window open, braced and most importantly IS (Image stabilisation) switched on, waiting for the perfect moment to slide into view, The red car was just lucky
With the current (or recurrent) bouts of foot and mouth and now Blue tongue, 'Daisy' here probably isn't laughing any more, unless it's about the possibility of our not being able to go anywhere in the Autumn either as no doubt we'll see mass footpath closures (less people spread infected midges about on their wellies). Just think of all the CO2 that we haven't released in all those summer barbecues that didn't happen. This was a cow of an exposure please forgive the pun and I ended up processing the raw file twice once for the sky and once for the detail in the white parts of my smiling subject, then blending the two exposures I like o keep post processing to an absolute minimum but sometimes there's not much choice

</div> '' Summer 2007'' Ha! typical / atypical I don't really know anymore. After several years of very hot summers and drought, was 2007 just a return to the norm we all forgot about? Apart from the obvious distress caused by the flooding, I think it's been much better in a photographic sense. I was beginning to think the UK didn't 'do' proper clouds and went from a very un-picturesque fog, through gray featureless blanket cover straight into clear blue skys. This summer has had some spectacular clouds and brooding thunderheads which look great over agricultural land. The additional excitement and frisson of danger (do we take out wet weather gear or risk it) With the current (or recurrent) bouts of foot and mouth and now Blue tongue, 'Daisy' here probably isn't laughing any more, unless it's about the possibility of our not being able to go anywhere in the Autumn either as no doubt we'll see mass footpath closures (less people spread infected midges about on their wellies).

Water found in Bracknell
Drama as leak becomes geyser
Jan 30th 2007 Arriving home tonight I couldn't fail to miss the water leak outside the house that was going at about 10 litres / second. We dutifully called the water company who turned up an hour later (well one representative anyway) scratched his chin and went away again....another 2 hours later some contractors turned up to dig up the road and mend the pipe. We were roused from veg-ing out on the sofa in front of "Holby City" after the trauma of feeding and getting the kids to bed by the gentle sound of err rain? The leak had assumed a vertical dimension better than any of the fireworks I've seen for some time (OK apart from those for new year in front of the London eye... they really were rather special) Is this normal procedure for fixing water leaks? Shame it was just too late for the January theme of or work photo competition... Night.
