Weekend Reflections

Guest photographer on Badelynge this week is a friend called Neil Bury. Sorry this took a while to get posted. Neil's photography can be viewed at this flickr address: www.flickr.com/photos/neilbury. This shot is of the Chinese entry in the Fireworks World Championship at Blackpool. I like how the fireworks are reflected in the sea. Anyhow check out his site because there is some unbelievable aviation photography on there. If you prefer the original aviators (those of a feathered kind) I can recommend his Gigrin Farm folder for the beautiful Red Kites.

Weekend Reflections

This is another shot of the Raithwaite lake. Railings, parapets, balustrades etc are often something of a hindrance to photography from wheelchair level. In this instance I tried holding the camera up above the barrier and shooting blind. I clicked away for a minute, hoping for the best. Only one was worth keeping - see below. I took the above picture by shooting lower than my usual viewpoint, well at least I could see the viewfinder to frame and focus. I think it turned out ok. The stone pillars actually seem to add something to the shot and the reflection was an unintended bonus.
