Snowy Field Towards Cheddington

This was the wintery scene of a field looking towards Cheddington. The field was freshly ploughed a couple of weeks ago, hence the weird wavey appearance.

This was the snow scene on the Marsworth road this morning taken from just outside our house. The Chilterns can be notorious for difficult winter driving conditions. The lack of salting of roads by the local highways agency doesn't help!

Rat Tracks

Yesterday the rats did play! Well we have the evidence in the form of tracks in the snow. I cranked up the ISO to 1600 in this shot, the yard is partially lit with 500 watt halogen security lighting and taken within the safety of our summer room. I'm hoping we'll get more snow to capture the rats in all their glory!

My images can be found on istockphoto. Feel free to take a tour.

Frost Covered Trees

This morning Rach, my wife 'phoned me before I left for work to say that there was heavy fog about and drive carefully. Knowing that there would be fog I took that little bit of extra care on the roads, I also took my camera, as I had a great feeling that there would some opportunities later in the day to take some shots.

Where I work there are some trees bordering the boundaries and this shot was taken just before the sun burnt the frost off the Silver Birches.
