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

#3: Broadway - Stanway

The Natives are Friendly

Common Spotted & Pyramidal Orchids

After heavy overnight rain the air was fresh with a gentle breeze, the blue sky was flecked with light cumulus clouds, so the conditions were perfect for walking between Broadway and Stanway - started out at 07:30. The round trip was over 12 miles by the end of which my aching feet, knees and hips told me it was a little too far with my 17 kg (37 lb) backpack. I'm sure (I hope) it will get better as I progress along The Way. I found about four B&W images which I really liked - hopefully they'll turn out well after processing in a few days time. But today I found a surprising number of good colour images with my little digicam, especially the orchids.
