Cirencester Park

Took a walk through the Park and took the OMD+100-300mm to capture the beauty of nature and life in the park.

Lacock and Fox Talbot museum

For fathers day, my daughter took myself, my wife and our father-in-law to Lacock Abbey and the Museum, it was a great day and for me it was great to see the origin of photography.

The house was also used extensively in the Harry Potter films!

I decided to take just the Fuji X100 as I suspected there would be areas where we could not use flash.

Bishops Cleeve Street Fair, Cheltenham, Glos, UK

My wife was working on the street fair last weekend so I took the OMD and 3 lenses to capture some images from the day.

The weather was great, the crowds came and everyone had a good time with a mix of events and old cars so a good day was had by one and all - something for everyone.

Transport
























And a surprise arrival





The chocolate box cottage


The people











































The rest












And finally - the working photographer
