Christmas - Devon and Saunton Sands

Merry Christmas and all that - formalities aside it's always nice to get out of the big smoke and see some of the country you're living in and spend some quality time with friends. This year we headed out to Devon. It was a fantastic trip and the weather was spot on the whole time. I managed to get some shots off and since I haven't had time to update this I thought I'd put them up here.

Photography

Some of my photography again. These are some of my favorites from my Flickr site not including the ones I've already posted. I'd like to think that my yield for great photos vs the ones I discard as 'snaps' is going up but I think perhaps that my personal standards for my shots have gone up which means that the good photos are getting better but I'm still discarding so many. This is a good thing but it still means that I am shooting several hundred photos and only posting around 4-6 as ones I really like. You're always your own worst critic.
