I have still to go to on a leaf-kicking autumnal photo walk, but here are some pics I couldn't help snapping. I took these on the way to work one morning – the light literally made me stop and stare. I nearly missed my bus, but wasn't

When we were in London last month, Ben and I picked up a second-hand Canon 300V at a stall in Portobello. It's a film camera, but the brilliant thing about it is that it takes the EF lenses from our digital kit. We picked up some super cheap

The web is awash with gorgeous watercolour art right now. I'm seeing it everywhere, and it really makes me want to give it a whirl. Then, along comes the lovely watercolour tutorial series over on The Alison Show blog. Now I have no excuse, right? Some more watercolour-themed
