This is Freddie the Frog. He lives in our garden and come rain or shine he always has a smile on his face  lol.  It is quite an unusual shot to take, but I wanted to create a bird’s-eye view as opposed to the normal full on view. This pic was taken with the ST1000, which is a easy to use, and super camera to have fun with. I have been impressed with the quality of the images and of the general build quality. And the GPS is a fantastic bonus of course.

Snow!

The rumour is that the snow is coming back! I really hope so because it was such great fun last time. Obviously Christmas is a fun time for everyone and being a student away from home it is great to go back and enjoy that time with my family. However my friends and I have been snowed under in more ways than one. The Christmas period is often the worst in terms of work, deadlines and revision and interspersed with the festivities were very healthy dollops of work. So the snow was a welcome relief. I didn’t get as much time to play in it as I would have liked however, if it makes a return appearance I shall be out and about straight away!

The shots in this post show just how cold it got! The canal was completely frozen over and didn’t move for almost a week, and the post box had icicles forming on it!

The last two shots were taken when I went to the golf course near my house with my brother and sister. The first one is of my little brother getting some very impressive air on the golf course and the second is a shot of my sister just before she crashed!

Very heavy snow in North Norfolk recently. This is our road, open and passable now but was a different story on Thursday night. Really pleased with the way the ST1000 has not underexposed too much rendering the snow grey. As I took this shot it was -1 outside but the Camera had no probs working. Will add some more Winter shots later.
