I’ve been taking photographs since I was a teenager – and taking them in black and white for more than 35 years. I 'graduated' to large format 5x4 photography in 1994 and since then that's where my photographic energies have been concentrated. My main subject matter is the landscape and its 'micro-landscapes' though I've recently developed a strong interest in photographing in churches and cathedrals. The first entry in this blog (May 2009 - "Tomorrow ...") will tell you what my blog is all about. You'll find much more of my work on my website at: www.virtuallygrey.co.uk The B&W images from my blog are linked here. Prints of the black & white images are available for purchase. If you are interested, please follow the 'Print Sales' link on my website. The colour images are from my little digital camera and are not for sale. If you'd like to contact me by email then please do so via the 'Contact' link on my website at: www.virtuallygrey.co.uk/contact.html

#9: Leckhampton Hill - The Air Balloon Pub

The "Which Way"?

A shorter and less inspiring stretch today even though the vista from the site of the neolithic hill fort at Crickley Hill is breathtaking. For part of the walk the peace of the countryside is shattered by traffic noise as it powers up Birdlip Hill to the roundabout at The Air Balloon public house. I did find two or three b&w images but one really needed calmer air to still the foliage for the 1 second exposure and the others are possibly not up to muster. I'll see but I suspect this stretch will turn in a blank.
