Just across the road from my cottage, the other side of the river bridge, my neighbour Jeremy has created a pond at the bottom of his meadow. He has stocked it with all sorts of interesting plants, like marsh iris, bulrush, and gunnera. If the light is good, every so often I just wander across there with the ‘Blad and look for some interesting shots. I’ve been doing this for the last five years or so, and I am gradually building up a themed collection of pond shots through the seasons and in different weather. It’s jolly decent of Jeremy to provide me with a load of subject matter right on my doorstep – I think one of these days I shall have to make amends and settle the debt by printing a set of the best pictures just for him. This is an example from a few years back, on film (Kodak 400 T-Max).
