Oxford Shooting

Don't worry, it hasn't suddenly become some violent crime hotspot (well, not to my knowledge anyway). Last Saturday, after finally receiving the last part of my self-given Christmas present, and with lovely sunny weather, I went into town in order to test shoot some photos.

So, walking around the grounds of Christchurch, along the high street, and around the Radcliffe Camera, we had a few opportunities to frame some of the typical architecture and tourist sights of Oxford.

Christchurch of course being famous for being used in the Harry Potter films most recently. Unfortunately nobody from the films was here to pose for the shot, so I got a local to pose instead (see photo above).

Not all of Oxford is old stone-coloured buildings, as you can see below, there are also nice examples of pastel colours being used for external walls in amongst the other church-like structures:

 

And just to stop you thinking everything is square here, we also have fine example of cylindrical buildings, which are the perfect shape for storing all the books that are published in the UK (admittedly, most of them are in the underground cellars...):

There are also some unsavoury sights and stories around town. To find out all the details you will have to come visit, but I leave you with one example of what you can expect to find:

So what are you waiting for? Come and book your place to visit now :)

If you are still undecided, take a look at the rest of the photos here, and see if they can persuade you...
