Flickr Group May Meet

Jubilee Campus Nottingham

After long discussion on Flickr forum final location for May meet was chosen. NTU Jubilee Campus was picked but the weather again wasn’t fortunate for us and meeting was cancelled.

I started to think that really weather might have some issue with this group as we had good weather only once on first meet. Anyways I decided to try again following weekend even if I’ll be in my own fortunately Steve turned up and was great cos I was looking forward to meet him personally for some time. That was my first time in the campus and must admit impressed me a lot. There is great potential from photography point of view. Continue reading →

Pavilion in Mono

If shooting for some time you probably looked back at your photos and realize that now you would do some things different way. This is absolutely normal after few years practice you have to do some things better or you should sell your gear. Picture I’ve reviewed wasn’t taken that long ago, just last summer (2012) in Brighton but just now I realized what works better for this shot. Continue reading →

Clouds factory

After recent incident with my gear (knocked lens) I went to check in field whether my Sigma 10-20mm is still usable and… is not but that’s not all. Accidents happen usually one after another. So I went to photograph sun rise behind Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station. Thanks to my friend Adam I checked website call SunCalc and was able to pick the best point to shoot from before I got there. Very handy website indeed. Continue reading →

Winter in Attenborough Nature Reserve

Attenborough

Early morning I got up and wanted to take some winter shoots. Firstly I thought to go to Wollaton Park but on the way I’ve changed my mind as I was there not that long ago. I headed to Attenborough Nature Reserve instead. Few miles further away but I wasn’t there for some time and I thought that would be nice walk around park.
When I got there I knew that was good choice. Continue reading →

Nottingham Buildings: Wollaton Hall

Wollaton Hall

Todays great building designed by Robert Smythson is Wollaton Hall built between 1580 and 1588 for Sir Francis Willoughby and his family. This magnificent Hall was recently home of The Batman in film from 2012 The Dark Knight Rises.

The building is in the English Renaissance style and its central lower tower and flanking turrets are considered to be a masterpiece. Repaired and remodeled in 1801 by Sir Jeffery Wyattville and later occupied by the Middletons, the interior of the building is as attractive as its exterior, boasting fabulous design.
