it wasn't an expected trip at all..in fact I was offered the chance to go with expenses paid in exchange for doing some small photography jobs and shooting a wedding while I was there on a Tues and I left Australia three days later on the Friday...what a mammoth organisational effort that was!

I couldnt possible post all the shots that I took while I was there (England, France and Germany) but I'll try and make a few small threads with just a couple of pics in each as I get through my editing...

These were taken close to London...in a place called Virginia Waters...I was lucky enough to arrive just before all the leaves had fallen off the tree's...also a shot of Windsor castle here...which is close to Virginia Waters...:)

Bindii, the first is just classic autumn and the last seems like a postcard. Congrats on your trip, sounds like a great deal!

bindii,

great shots there, love the first three, last one is a postcard one, but still prefer the first ones. Certainly was a great opportunity to get there.

thanks for sharing and looking forward to your other threads,

André

Thanks Guys...It really is beautiful there...very chocolate box type scenery...

Sirhc I can see why you took your girlfriends to Virginia Waters...its very romantic...*wink wink* I presume you lived locally there did you?

And Alpha you and your wife will love it there..I so can't wait to go back...I wasn't there for nearly long enough...although I was lucky in the way that I have a lot of friends who live in the UK...all of them photographers from another photography forum that I frequent...it was great to meet so many of the members while I was there....and it had the additional benifits of them being able to take me to the best spots for photography...oh and the free drinks were nice too...;) I'll post some more threads shortly...sorry I'm so not organised enough to have a gallery...

Great shots! I like them all.

The road in the last one seems a little 'pink', but I have never been there so what do I know!

Boy, I am starting to miss seasons (I am an Australian-Canadian), so many more opportunities for different shots.

Doug

Edit: But the bugs are much better here! :D
