To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the first Moon landing

The photo was taken in Wales

A couple of nights later there was a partial lunar eclipse

Dartmoor Zoo

The club is planning a visit to the Zoo on the 1st October and hopefully we will have many more photos like the one opposite of the Tiger roaring (well in actual fact the Tiger was yawning !).

The Beast from the East

We ventured out into our back garden and then up Abbotts Park to the Church.

These are a few photograph taken before we became too cold.

The power was off and it was someone's idea of how to keep warm!

The Beast from the East

The snow drifting across the road making it very difficult for cars but OK on foot.

The Beast from the East

This car doesn't seem too happy about being left out in the cold!

A small branch totally encased in ice.

As we ventured onwards we found this hedge also covered in ice.

I think you will need the snowplough attachment for your car if you want to drive up the back lane to Cornwood!

The Beast from the East

We looked around the area from St.Michael and All Angels Church in Cornwood on the 2nd March 2018.  It was now time to return home  to a hot cup of tea.

A thoroughly enjoyable evening

Sony HX90V

In the Cornwood Magazine I mentioned a new  little camera that I have recently purchased.

It's a small point and shoot camera that really acts like a bazooka !

This is the image from our lounge through the window with the lens set at 24mm

Sony HX90V

This is taken from the same location but with the zoom at maximum - 720mm!

The image is basically straight out of the camera and the  only adjustment has been to reduce the image size to 1024 x 768 pixels for this website.

I am really impressed with this powerful camera that packs a lot of punch!

Dick Whittington 2015

In total we have 141 final photographs taken at the Dress rehearsal on Saturday 28th November.

We did find that we had to be very careful when removing very hot batteries from a flash gun after taking several hundred images.

Ouch!

Blood Moon

Between 2.30am and 3.30am  on the 28th September 2015, I stood on our front steps, in Cornwood, trying to get the right  camera setting and at the same time taking in the amazing sight as the moon colour changed on entering the shadow of the Earth.

Blood Moon

This is the photo taken by my Brother Keith, who persuaded me to get up in the early hours to photograph this event.

I am glad to see that he also did the same.

The start of the solar eclipse over Cornwood on Friday 20th March 2015 - (9am to 9.45am)

From Lee Moor looking out over the Cornwood area it was very hazy and cloudy as the Moon started its journey across the early morning Sun.

When I took this photo I was hoping the sky would clear but as it did it created other problems, as the following images will show

The climax of the solar eclipse over Cornwood on Friday 20th March 2015 - (9.25am)

As the eclipse reached its peak viewing time and the cloud started to thin in places, I started to experience reflections in the camera filters.

However, the smiley Sun and the miserable reflections turned out OK

The climax of the solar eclipse over Cornwood on Friday 20th March 2015 - (9.25am)

Multiple reflections surround the Sun together with various colours accentuated by using a small aperture and multiple filters on the camera.

Hope you enjoyed these images.

We had a 'god nit'  said Officer Crabtree after the show.

ps. Can you see if Rene has hidden the 'Fallen Modonna with the big boobies' somewhere in the photo?

Ummm! chocolate cake

100% horse meat!

Delamore Arts - Delamore House, Cornwood (May)

That tree is much smaller than I thought!

Well 13 may be unlucky for some

However, this lucky fellow is in the warm with mum

close by for that extra comfort!

With Santa on the way think of our friends that share

our gardens and perhaps give them a treat!

The treats given by our member Ian will help his garden visitors survive the cold winter and also they have provided a wonderful photo opportunity

Nuts, whole hazelnuts ummmm!

Deadly Traps!

The early dew reveals the minefield of spiders webs awaiting any unsuspecting flying insect.
