It has been reported that September has been one of the warmest recorded and it did feel like an Indian Summer, that is one that has come late in the year. Certainly it has been a fantastic summer this year and it takes me back to how summers used to be in the 70’s.

At work last Friday I entered into a small competition with another 2 avid photographers. I hate to admit it both are better at taking pictures and I was envious of the pictures I was shown. Interestingly the pictures were in a 16×9 Aspect Ratio, a format I had never used. I have of course seen prints in this format and have thought they looked interesting. Anyway the competition is where we put in £2 each (for a bottle of wine) and the winner gets all. So the theme is Water and I went off snapping some photos with this theme. In the process I also experimented with the 16×9 picture format and while it does not look that cool on a blog (where the size is limited) it does look pretty good on an ordinary web page where it is sized to 1024 wide. Below is a couple of the pictures.
