I'm not obsessed with church's I promise but I do think that they make one of the best subjects photographically :D

This is a HDR taken inside the church at Chipping Campden, from the outside honestly it was not the most interesting church but inside it was the perfect location to have a play with my fisheye lens indoors :D

Looking up at my local church the effect that you get from a fish eye is not for everyone but personally I love it and this is a view that you'll find it hard to get without a fish eye :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

4/366 - The Brew
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 - Chesterton Windmill
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
Matt - MWHCVT
2/366 - It's a small world
This was taken with the sole intention to make this photo into a miniature :D using a post production style to create a faux tilt shift image used to trick the eye into thing that your looking at a miniature

1/366 - The National Memorial Arboretum
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
