7 I like but would have benefitted from being shot lower and a little to the right. Underexposed slightly too, although without an ND Grad it's difficult not to overexpose the sky at this time of year.

9 not bad either...very nice idea...would have been better if we could have seen some of her face - 1/4 profile maybe (from behind and to the side, rather than straight behind).

10 probably the best from a purely artistic perspective (IMHO)...again may have been a bit better if shot slightly lower.

Live in Bordon (unfortunately! tongue out) so just down the A3. I'm guessing you're from Petersfield then?

You'd be right. Coming on the South Cost drive on the 8th Feb? - See the South Coast section.

I was ice skating on that last week.

Dangerous I know, but still it was great. My mum said it use to freeze over for most of winter in the old days.

I can recall walking across it many years ago with mates; it was very foggy and you could just about see a metre or two in front on you. The most vivid memory was of sizeable, unseen but audibly-encroaching 'ice pucks' whooshing across the surface at great speed narrowly missing us and then heading off into the void - demonstrating the Doppler Effect perfectly!!


Did you manage to get out on Saturday when the frost was at its height and everything appeared magical?

The ice was pretty much gone by yesterday so unfortunately any attempts to go ice skating would have involved using the skates as makeshift flippers wink
