I love these gardens, and their tea room. Some of the cherries were in flower but didn’t make great photos (blame the photographer). However I did especially like these three. Shutter speed: 1/5000s Aperture: ƒ/5.6 ISO: 1600 Focal…
I went to the Women’s Gliding event at Sutton Bank at the end of March. I arrived with time for a walk along the escarpment, which offered dramatic views across the Vale of York. Shutter…
Our glider was back and it looked like a lovely day for flying, with the promise of some of the first thermals of the year. I didn’t really find them, but it was a cracking…
Maspie Den is part of the Falkland Estate, and it was laid out with a number of show features including a tunnel. It’s normally possible to walk behind the top waterfall – ‘Yad’. I have…

My own glider was away at a workshop, so I was flying with another Club member in our K21. I was P1 in the front seat, and when he did some flying that gave me…
I treated myself to a second hand lens, a Sigma DG 50-500mm 1:4.5-6.3 APO HSM. That’s a bit of a mouthful, and it’s a heavy beast as well that needs firm support to avoid camera…
