Visiting Beatrix Potter’s former residence, famous from her series “Peter Rabbit”, made for an excellent experience. Behind the house was a cabbage patch that contained this combination of structure. Using my 50mm lens and a low aperture the picture turned out great and captures the feel the residence had.

I title this A Different Take because while in London many photographers choose to take a distant shot of The Eye. Using a Canon ultra wide lens I was able to catch this piece from the base of the wheel giving a different perspective. The combination of lousy weather and not much coloration made the black and white option a rather great one in this case.

On our many excursions throughout my semester abroad one stop was at the Howard Castle just outside of York, England. On the property was this small pond, bridge, and building display that was irresistible. After taking a few pictures and getting the composition right I had one of my favorite taken abroad.
