Something must have changed in the weather towards the back end of the first decade of the new millennium - some say it is cyclical, others put it down to the lack of activity from the sun, whatever the reason maybe it has led to a welcome return (IMO) to much more seasonal weather throughout our winter months. For those of you living further north, you maybe wondering what on earth I am waffling on about, but prior to the last four winters you could count on one hand the number of times we saw snow in Nottingham since the 1980's - it has really been that bad! And when the snows did arrive, it was either in very small quantities or just melted within a few hours. It was all very depressing, especially for someone like me, who just loves the cold and snow!
As you can imagine though, I have since been making up for lost time and at every opportunity have been out either photographing the city centre or the local wildlife.
Last year I made the decision to purchase a higher grade 'point & shoot' camera that provides me with the control of an SLR (to a point) whilst not be being too intrusive and giving me the flexibility to carry it everywhere, everyday. The very retro and quirky
Fuji X100 was my camera of choice and once I mastered it's nuances I haven't looked back and absolutely love it!
The following pictures were captured this winter in and around Nottingham City Centre with the X100...
