A moody day at the pond

Just some shots from my mid afternoon walk. Clocks change this weekend and I get madly depressed by it every year.

My plan is to try and get out for daytime walks every day. If I don't I may as well hibernate.

Pretty pleased with this shot of a swan. I've been adjusting my settings and shooting on low iso with a faster shutter. Giving a nice dark contrasty look.

A moody walk around Fleet pond

A moody walk around Fleet pond. The weather broke and we got some fantastic sunshine. The light breaking through the clouds into the forest is always a delight. 

Fleet Pond Loop

Walked a loop of fleet pond with Bella. What a lovely evening. Took the WX350 as didn't feel much like carrying a big camera.

• Quite a fee mushrooms around
• Lovely golden hour
• Broken mask
• Fairly windy along the pond
• Swans, Guls and Ducks around
• Really quiet except for a few runners

Fleet Pond Dragonflies

Had a nice walk in the sunshine. Saw a few dragonflies. Got some pretty good shots with the old SX40. Quite pleased with this camera for such a small sensor.   Bella wasn't too impressed with the mass of dogs that chased her.

Saw the cows and a couple of swans. Summer is still here, but it won't be forever. Get out there and enjoy it all!
