Back in Devon! Hurrah!

Managed to take most of the day away from dealing with my Mum's flooded shop, grab my camera (including my old 70-300mm Sigma which doesn't normally come out anymore) and go on the prowl.

Here's what we got...
(all taken with 350D and 17-40L unless it says otherwise)

Starting just outside my house, I found a rather sorry looking flower

Next, I wandered into some fields. So I shot them.

...twice (managed to balls this one up by shooting at f4.5 :(

I saw this

Then I went through a gate...

...and headed for the beach, where I snapped a few birdies.
(These are the 70-300mm Sigma shots, all bar the last have been cropped a fair bit)

Back to the 17-40, and on my way back down to the other end of the beach front, I soptted this little guy plotting some evil

But I decided to steer clear of any evil-making, and photograph some boats instead!

And to end the day grabbed another chain shot to appease my fetish of such things

A good day, t'was
Comments and crit highly welcomed, as per always
 
Great shots mate, amazing colours ect!! The one of the gate and the last one are the best, extremely sharp. Perfect :)
 
lovely lovely lovely :D

particularly liking the second field shot, the gate, and the last boat shot.

I like the chain shot, too - but I think it's dangerous to concede that to you. :rolleyes:
 
Cheers for the comments guys :)

Dude, you should come down here (Devon, that is) for a day or so if you have the time over the summer. Tis awesome :D
 
I really like the second to last, something about it that pleases me :) . In fact I like most of them but one or two arn't quite sharp enough for my liking. I am viewing on a shoddy 14" age old multimedia type no brand monitor though - so that's probably not helping much. :P
 
These were all taken on a walk from my house, which is out of town in the fields, to Budleigh Salterton which is a small town near Exmouth.

In turn, Exmouth is near Exeter. <- So, Hoodi, those would be the two stations you'd be heading to.


Lots of interest in the Devon'ness, eh? Maybe a mini meet could be on the cards...


Anyway, cheers for all the comments guys :)

Sounds good dude!
Drop me an email (should be on my site, in sig) and let me know when suits. I'm back from Uni so time is, generally, free for me for the foreseeable future :)
