Wiblog - Paul's Wibblings

Inspired by a friend of mine who's been doing this in Scotland I went out last night with the NEX-6 to try taking photos of some of the local pubs in the twilight. It wasn't quite dark but it wasn't far off. Some came out rather well. Here's the best so far. Two more pubs to try.

You may remember that I took a photo of this gravestone in Milton Hall last month. I said at the time that it would have worked better with some side illumination to bring out the writing and today turned out to be the day so here it is again with the sun in just the right place.

I popped out for some milk on Sunday and found a small bunch of people applauding competitors in the Cambridge Boundary Run so I went back with my camera and took some photos.

In my last post I was talking about Violet Tweedale and said I could find no reference to her and Clarens staying at Milton Hall. But now that I've downloaded Ghosts I Have Seen from Project Gutenberg I have it.  read more ...

My last post was this photo of a little gravestone in the grounds on Milton Hall, just across the road from our house. I've been aware of its existence for many years but today I took a photo and stuck it up here.  read more ...

Nothing to do with spring at all but I've been meaning to take a photo of this gravestone in the grounds on Milton Hall for ages and it worked well in black and white. It would have worked better with some side illumination to bring out the writing mind you. Another day.

The grounds on Milton Hall are carpeted with snowdrops and winter aconites. I was rather pleased with this photo of some aconites. Depth of field, bokeh, context: the whole works.
