I found this picture from last month, I completely forgot about it. It was taken on a camera club shoot at Hadleigh castle. We had a good time and a couple of the newer members were introduced to night photography. I got home fairly late and posted it to facebook and then the phone rang. The world fell apart and that night we were flying to Atlanta to see my Sister in hospital.

A mild but wet evening at old Leigh. The tide was going out and the boats resting on the mud meant they could be rendered sharply with a long exposure. As usual the glow from Canvey created some good colours in the sky. Spend a while chatting with Phil in the car park about Fuji cameras and Iceland where we both have planned trips this year.

I did three quite big hikes this week in Tenerife. The most productive one was around the base of Tiede where there was some really atmospheric cloud cover. It was pretty cold at just below freezing but that led to some interesting pictures. All this week has been about walking and snatching photo’s where I can, hence used my small camera. The Los Legas walk was at around 2500 M and for the first time I noticed the effects of altitude on my breathing.
