I don't know why I hadn't posted this before. Taken a few years back of the reflection from our office block windows onto Preston prison walls in the morning:

Been into photography for a while now and even manage to make some extra cash doing it semi-professionally too. I find it good for the blood pressure! Here are a few of my efforts - quality of them a bit mangled as they came off Farcebook.

A couple from the weekend just gone... took a spontaneous trip down to Bristol, and stopped by Clevedon to see the sea on the way home. Didn't take my camera so these are from my Nexus 5X.

Nice. I do love a steam train. The first one is very atmospheric.

 

Yeah, it was peeing down and cold with little wind so the steam lingered quite well. I managed to get that before the place was swamped with train spotters (not kidding!)

I have a 5x too. They do take a pretty good pic for a lower priced phone :)

Took a train into Preston last night and this beautiful machine pulled up alongside just after I got there:

The Scots Guardsman.

 

A colleague came into work this morning wielding a rather large steel lever, apparently it was the regulator lever from a steam train of similar era to the Mallard. Still in good condition and very heavy - woe betide any pupil who messed around in his lessons today!

It's pretty incredible the quality you get from phones these days - my LG G3 takes amazing pictures, and the auto-HDR mode makes it easy. Half the incredible photos from our honeymoon came from my phone rather than LeHusband's Lumix. Even the Panoramas came out beautifully.

i thought the 5x camera was actually quite poor but that may be just the fact my previous phone was a lumia 925

Why not? I have a photo of a heron sitting in a small tree

Most Heron's nest in trees, so not that unusual for them.

Do they? I'd assumed they were ground-nesting because of their size. It still looked odd in such a small tree as that.

 

Most Swans however have little reason to be on a fence. :-)

 

Maybe they're undecided on something... Sorry.

A few nice shots last night from the Mobbs Memorial Match. For those that don't know, Edgar Mobbs played for Bedford, Northampton and England prior to WWI and formed his own battalion after being told he was too old for a commission. Eventually he made it to Lieutenant Colonel before being killed at Passchendaele. This year is the centenary of his death, and every year since 1918 (WW2 aside) there has been a memorial match with the proceeds going to local junior rugby.
