Very dull day with light rain. A flock of about 80 birds present on a tall tree in the Town Centre main square, across the road is this small berry tree which they stripped bare in about an hour or so, shortly afterwards they all took off.

Many thanks for all your get well messages, seeing all your fantastic images on here has certainly made this Man Flu much easier to deal with, now back to what I love.
Pulled in at Kneeton near East Bridgford on the way home from a visit to the coast. I liked this shot of the sheep and lambs and this is cropped to about a quarter I reckon.
Its sharp enough I suppose but I dislike the oof area's..
This is the lens I was referring to that I just don't like that much but it doesn't do such a bad job but..... you know I just am not that pleased with its performance.
This was shot at 132.00mm f/6.3 @1/200 and iso 100
Those lambs are irresistible but I didn't upload because imho something is lacking.. and if you are thinking of saying mint sauce, don't even think about it lol...
So another picture without people. I have no idea what's happening to me! Today was a cold, crisp but sunny Autumn day in Nottingham so I took advantage and had a stroll along the River Trent. Just over a mile from my house, it's a beautiful area to explore.
Another outing for the Sigma f1.8 wide angle. It's a wonderful lens.
Taken a couple of weeks ago before they were all gathered safely in, near East Bridgford a short drive from our home..

The hall is in the park in West Bridgford (leafy Nottingham suburb) and houses a registry office. When I go in to work I cycle past here.

Anything goes 2021 - Composite
This is a composite of three images. The angel is from The Rock cemetery in Nottingham. The poppies (added as a texture layer) are from photo I took in 2014, at the Tower of London for the centenary of the outbreak of the first world war (image in comments). The headstone in the bottom left is in Wilford Hill cemetery in West Bridgford. It's a Commonwealth grave marker to commemorate our war dead.
I hope this is a fitting tribute for brave men and women everywhere who lost their lives while trying to save their country so we might have our freedom.
Lest We forget.

The Beeston Canal, in Beeston, Nottinghamshire.
Although the River Trent had been used for navigation for centuries it was not until the late 18th century that improvements were made.
The Trent Navigation Company was formed by an Act of 1783 with the responsibility of maintaining and improving the river from Shardlow in Derbyshire to Gainsborough (Lincolnshire). William Jessop was appointed as permanent engineer.
An Act of 1794 authorised the construction of the Beeston Canal (also known as the Beeston Cut), a cut 2¼ miles (3.2 km) in length, which ran from the Nottingham Canal at Lenton to the River Trent at Beeston. It opened in 1796 and allowed boats to travel through the town and thereby avoid hazardous conditions on the River Trent between Beeston Lock and West Bridgford.
With increased prosperity, the canals became the transport of choice in its day and people soon arrived to capitalise on its obvious benefits. But with the advent of the railway, the canal system went into decline, until the Inland Waterways Association championed the use of canals as leisure facilities in the 1960s. This led to a clean up and canal side improvements that feature today.
With the sky really starting to look quite stunning I couldn't decide which direction I preferred, so I went crazy and did a 15 shot panoramic to take in the entire scene in front of me, I must admit with the reflections as well it looks bonkers but I love it.
The graduated ND filter I use on my 18-105mm lense also gave the sky a nice rosey look, which I quite like.
Trent bridge to the left and the Wilford suspension bridge to the right.
On my cycle route to work, always impressive to see with the sun shining on it. My first colour picture of it. I think this area in front is now planted up if my memory from Friday is correct.

One from a few weeks back on a night shoot down at the Embankment. Thought mono would work best for this classic shot of Trent Bridge.
The Parish Church of St Peter, view of the nave.
The village of East Bridgford or Bridgford on the Hill, sits on raised ground above the River Trent several miles north-west of Nottingham.
The parish church of St Peter has a Norman chancel, 14th century arcades and 15th century clerestory, the west tower was rebuilt in 1778, the church was heavily restored by the victorians in 1862 and then again in 1901.
One mile south east of the village on the Fosse Way Roman road sat the Roman town of Margidunum, the settlement flourished in the 2nd & 3rd century but was in decline at the end of the Roman period.
Captured yesterday on the gorgeous Victorian bridge that seperates the city of Nottingham from it's West Bridgford suburb.
It was match day so the silhouettes are Nottingham Forest fans. If there's a better or more picturesque trip to a sports stadium I'm yet to experience it. They may have been rubbish for years but the surroundings are great!
Loads of sun and lens flare. It was a beautiful sunny Winters day so wanted to capture the full atmosphere and not worry about technical set up too much.

This particular day I set off to The Embankment with the aim of getting some arty starbursts. I certainly spent a long time trying to find the best angles through the gates on the war memorial and settled on this one in the end.
A portrait of one of this Summers Banded Demoiselles. I have quite a few of these potential stacks kicking around on my hard drive, so thought I'd pick one to play around with. This was a 23 image handheld focus stack, I used ISO 400, F/8 aperture and a 1/160 shutter speed, I can't wait for Spring to come again, at least the days are going to start getting longer now :o)
Hope everyone has a great run up to Christmas ;o)
My favourite little lady knows exactly how to reach the heights. Perfect leg swing technique, no need for assistance. Very proud :)

A frosty New Year's Eve morning, admiring the flood defences protect the Wilford/West Bridgford area of Nottinghamshire from the Trent, which runs to the right.

Another shot of Wilford Suspension Bridge from a recent sunset shoot. I took this before most of the sky 'drama' as I liked the light coming through one of the arches.
West Bridgford's Masonic Hall opened in 1909 as home to the Welbeck Lodge.
Seen across the Trent from Nottingham City's Victoria Embankment.

One from the archives here, taken back in early 2016 before our daughter was born and when I was still out and about with the camera.
AKA the most important people in the world. Chloe demonstrates you don't need paper when a napkin is available. Mrs C is somewhere else entirely!
Registration offices in West Bridgford, Nottingham. I really liked how the reflected light from all of the windows formed a pattern on the path
Today has been a glorious and sunny winters day. Plenty of people down by the River Trent and I wasn't going to let the sun stop me taking shots. If it's too bright silhouette!
Supposed to be snowing later. Camera at the ready.....
Some people pass the time by running through tunnels, others by holding a camera at the end of the same tunnel just hoping to capture a moment. Both people were happy today.
This gent was actually taking part in a triathlon heading under one of the Trent Bridge arches. Running, cycling and swimming. Just thinking of all of that exercise is making me tired.
A recent shoot at my local haunt - the embankment yielded a cloudless sky, so, I had to get creative. Luckily, there was some lovely golden hour light in the arches of the suspension bridge.

Very dull day with light rain. A flock of about 80 birds present on a tall tree in the Town Centre main square, across the road is a small berry tree which they stripped bare in about an hour or so, shortly afterwards they all took off.

A chilly frosty dawn along the Victoria embankment between Trent bridge and Wilford suspension bridge.
The sky seemed to hold back for an age before adding a bit of colour in the end.

You could never grow tired of this gorgeous old Victorian bridge which leads from my home town of West Bridgford through to the city of Nottingham. It's a magnificent structure of it's time.
Under the bridge to the left is the City Ground home to Nottingham Forest Football club. In the distance to the right is the cricket ground Trent Bridge, you can see it's modern floodlights on the horizon.
Have a couple of night time shots but didn't have one in the day so hey presto.
