Intricacy
A change from my usual nature and landscape related subjects; I found myself with some time on my hands this-afternoon, so decided to pull out the little studio kit that I have and do a still-life.
I thought the intricate detail of this mechanical watch would make a nice shot, which I decided to shoot on my gloss-black computer desk to add the reflection.

Toadstool
I was in the New Forest recently and the autumn colours were beautiful. There was also a lot of interesting fungi around, and a small cluster of these Amanita muscaria (commonly known as the fly agaric) caught my eye.
Although generally considered poisonous, deaths are extremely rare, and Amanita muscaria is consumed as a food in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America after parboiling. Amanita muscaria is now primarily famed for its hallucinogenic properties, with its main psychoactive constituent being the compound muscimol. It was used as an intoxicant and entheogen by the peoples of Siberia and has a religious significance in these cultures (Wikipedia).

Durdle Door
Durdle Door, on the jurassic coastline of Dorset. I shot this while visiting in late October 2011. Using a B&W 10-stop ND filter along with a fairly low ISO has allowed an 88 second long-exposure, which I felt gave a lovely blurry texture to the grass in the foreground, which was moving with the wind. I have blended the sky from a different exposure, so this is a two shot HDR.

Autumn Colours
I was in the New Forest this weekend and the colours were beautiful. Some of the trees, such as this one, were full of vivid yellows, oranges and browns - perfect for the camera!

Lulworth Cove
Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic coastline of Dorset, photographed during a rather grey and cloudy sunrise. I think the 0.6 second exposure has given the perfect amount of 'swirl' in the water around the rocks.
