Roger Bennion's photos

I was wandering around West Wycombe Park looking for “Intended Camera Movement” subjects when I became conscious of some activity at one of the stone bridges. On closer inspection it became clear there was a Photo Shoot happening :-) I didn’t want to interrupt proceedings but figured I should, discreetly, grab a couple of shots just in case the photographer’s camera failed and they needed a back-up shot or two :-)

I know it's not Autumn..........yet :-) But, I was looking thru' some older shots and thought I would like to upload this soft focus shot from last Autumn :-)

From Wikipedia - “The Temple of Music is on an island in the lake, inspired by the Temple of Vesta in Rome. It was designed for Dashwood's fêtes champêtres, with the temple used as a theatre; the remains of the stage survive.”

Haven't done many candid shots of late but have re-worked this Oxford shot from some long time back :-)

Thought it was time to try something in monochrome :-)

A lovely summers day in MK :-)

I have been working my way through some old shots trying to get them organised………some hope :-) Anyway, this was taken a long time back in Cornmarket Street in Oxford, These gals and guys were wonderful entertainment :-)

Last Saturday Helen & I went to the West Wycombe Fete held in the grounds of West Wycombe Park. There was a tractor and trailer taking ‘peoples’ for a circular tour that passed the ‘polo field’. I had no idea polo was played here and I knew I had to investigate!! I have never photographed polo matches before but there is always a first time :-) This was one of the hottest days of the year. It was 'blisteringly hot' and I managed a dozen or so shots before I had to retreat to a shady spot. This is one of the shots :-)

An older shot taken with my trusty Compact :-)

Temple of Venus Reflected.

Back to one of my fave places and I have been let loose with the soft focus effect, again :-)

Soft Focus again :-) I most definitely didn't need another camera but I recently went to Argos and bought a very inexpensive FinePix Bridge Camera and this is one of the shots taken with this camera :-)

Thought I should try a few candids at this event....and, this is one of them :-)

This is a mighty old shot but still one of my fave shots taken in Guernsey :-) I was so very lucky with the weather conditions that day! This was taken in about 2007. It wasn't taken in 2013 and if I try and change the 'date taken' I seem to then have problems with where, in the order my photos are displayed, this photo shows :-)
