Grace Dieu Abbey Photoshoot!

As mentioned in my previous post - Grace Dieu Abbey - me and my mate Rex went on a cycle ride. After we had both taken our proper photos, we decided it was the perfect setting for a joke photo shoot! So with Rex as my model, we set up some hilarious shots taking the mickey out of the people who pay for extremely cheesy photos! After Rex had worked his magic, I whacked out the tripod and we both got in on the action!

Please remember that these are JOKE photos, as you can tell by the wry smile on some of them, as we struggled to hold ourselves together even for just the split second it took to take the photo! Enjoy!

Grace Dieu Abbey

A couple weeks back, myself and my buddy Rex went on a little cycle ride to a place called Grace Dieu Abbey. The ride there was pretty tough as there were some pretty monstrous hills to climb, but we did make it eventually!

As you can see it is an abandoned one that is in ruins now, but it still gave us some good photo opportunities! We also took plenty of joke photos, and they will be in my next post! After this we decided to take a different route home which was through some woods and on little country roads and we stumbled across the working monastery - which will be a further post in the next week or so!

Anyway, these are the photos of Grace Dieu Abbey:

Photography Cycle Ride

The other day I decided to go out for a bike ride with my camera. Now, having played rugby for 7 years before I came to university, then stopping and replacing it with fast food, beer and playing xbox, I was a little worried about how far I could actually cycle! Nervously I set off, wondering if I could make it to the place I had in mind, with my camera equipment in my backpack!

Surprisingly enough, I climbed the hill all the way to the place where I wanted to get to, and didn't feel too bad! So I carried on and on until I started to feel a little tired then took a country road to go and see what I could discover.

Luckily enough for me, I picked a great road to turn down, because all of these photos were taken within 50 metres of me actually turning onto the road! I also really enjoyed the cycle ride, not including some of the crazy drivers out there who give you the tiniest bit of space, and I think I am going to do more of them!

Here are the photos from the day:

1. A yellow flower

3. A cool house with a windmill attached to it!
