One should always have something sensational to read on the net...
I’ve been experimenting with low camera angles – something that hasn’t been so easy with my Canon 6D, since it doesn’t have an articulated viewfinder, so to get shots like these you normally have to lie on the ground if you want to see what you’re taking. But the built-in wifi means that you can, instead, put the camera down low and use your phone as a viewfinder, which is what I did today.
The shallow depth of field was deliberate – I quite like the effect.
This beauty was surrounded by admiring photographers on Sunday morning, and seemed to enjoy the attention.
Oh! It didn’t look like that last time!

Even mad dogs and Englishmen have been choosing early evening for cycling excursions here: it’s been very hot over the last few days. Light showers have made for a more autumnal climate today, though, which makes a nice change.
You’ll notice that, despite this being prime Tour-de-France country only a few miles from the Col de Tourmalet, my parents and I have somehow managed to cycle in the one flat valley in the area.
That’s just for our warm-up training, of course…
…when we really should be going for a walk…

Tilly had her first experience of boating today, in my inflatable kayak. She couldn’t quite decide whether to be nervous or not…
