Went down to Batsford Arboretum last Thursday looking for some autumn colours. Couldn't get excited with the colours, but tried a few multiple exposures which I was quite pleased with. Prefer to come across "natural" scenes rather than a manicured parkland so today went down to the Forest of Dean. Tried Cannop Ponds but, again, the colours aren't stunning yet. Went further into the forest and had some success with abstract movement shots which I enjoyed.
Am pleased to be able to say that the two photographs I submitted for consideration a little while ago for No 8 Open Art Exhibition (held every two years) were accepted and they are currently on view at "No 8" and will be until 15 October 2014. Four "Special Merits" were awarded by the judges and I am delighted that both my exhibits were chosen for two of these awards.
One other bit of good news is that I received a call earlier from "No 8 "to say that both pictures had been sold today and could I arrange for two replacements to fill the gap! Lovely!
I shall be exhibiting this weekend (Saturday & Sunday) 27th & 28th September 2014 at Evesham Country Park for their 2nd Autumn Craft and Gift Fair. I will have a large selection of mounted photographs from my "Jayne Winter Photography" range and also a good selection from our "Images of Worcestershire" range, along with greetings cards.
There are going to be over 70 stalls showcasing a range of wares from jewellery to knits, woodcrafts and paintings, soaps and ceramics to fashions, photography and cushions.
There will be plenty of opportunities for refreshments at the restaurants on site, along with the opportunity to visit the courtyard shops, farm shop and of course the extensive garden centre.
Why not pop along and start that all important Christmas shopping!! There is plenty of free parking available.
Evesham Country Park is at the northern end of the Evesham bypass (A44), at the junction with the Stratford Road (A46). From here follow the brown tourist signs.
Just spent four days in Bruges with my daughter. What a super city, such wonderful architecture and a lovely atmosphere. Also spent a day visiting Mount Sorrel (Hill 62) and the preserved trenches near Ypres along with the Menin Gate and Tyne Cot Cemetery near Passendale. So glad to have had the opportunity to experience these memorials, a very moving but enjoyable day. Lots of photographs taken during the four days, here is just one taken in Bruges itself.
Spent a great day on the beach at Kilve in north Somerset with friends from Worcestershire Camera Club. Morning was spent taking slow shutter speeds of the waves breaking on the rocks and also trying out some multiple exposures which was great fun. Later doing more intimate work using the macro lens concentrating on the rocks and strata patterns along the cliff face. Great for abstract pictures.
