A Walking Trip to Suffolk and Essex

Thanks go to brother in law John and his lovely walking group for two days walking in Suffolk and a bit of Essex during a sunny last week of October.

Day 1 - along the River Orwell

Day 2 - "Constable Country" and along the River Stour

East Bergholt and its bell cage from the 16 century - needed when they ran out of money for the belltower.

Super countryside for a wander.

From Suffolk to Essex and back.

Revisiting Spring. Blossom on Film

Tried some film camera shots of blossoms this Spring. 50mm, 1.4 Aperture on Kodak Portra 160 and Fuji 100 ...

Like the dreamy colours and the shallow depth of field is quite something having used a cropped frame camera for years.
