This is the Church of All Saint's in the village of Sherbourne, just south of Warwick the county town of Warwickshire, I just loved the way that the church reflected in the pool next to the church :D

A rather minimalist landscape, the colours in the sky this evening were rather impressive as the sun set over Warwickshire so I decided to go out and get a landscape, I had seen this tree a few weeks ago and have been waiting for the right light to get this photo :D

I was feeling in a nostalgic mood with the processing on this photo so I've given it a vintage twist by applying a film effect process to the photo :D

This one I actually edited it thinking on some of the really great images done by fellow TPer Kev a.k.a. SamuelSlade007 and his may fantastic selective coloured image that he has done so far as a part of his challenge :D

Plus with the added bonus that I got to do a little bit of light painting and drink some Brew :D

3/366, a photo by mwhcvt on Flickr.

A golden sunset at Chesterton Windmill it was really cold and very windy, I guess that's why this location was used :D

It was so windy that at one point my glasses were blown clean off my face and they landed 5-6 metres from where I was stood lol

All of this was well worth it though as the colours and sunset were simply spectacular :D

1/366 - The National Memorial Arboretum

1/366, a photo by mwhcvt on Flickr.

This is a 150 second exposure of the main memorial at the NMA the Armed Services Memorial for all members of the Armed Services that have lost there lives since the end of the Second World War

I used a long exposure to ensure that people would not show up in the images except for maybe a few ghosts to add interest to the photo, and to also add some interest to the sky

I processed this image to give it a real vintage feel, with a sepia filter and a agfa film effect
