River Thames (Wallingford to Abingdon
A series of views from a round trip that I made on a Salters Steamer between Wallingford and Abingdon.
The River Thames over this section is very quiet but attractive. The main features along this section are the views of the Wittenham Clumps, Clifton Hampden, and the River front at Abingdon.
The river here has a quiet beauty that I believe is typically English. It also seems to me to make a particularly pleasing slide show.
Please contact me through the web-site if you would like a slide show version of this or any other portfolio.
Although much of the River Thames is accessible via the Thames Path, there are some significant stretches that are not, and the boat makes it possible to view these. Shooting from a boat requires a particular technique, and I used a higher sensitivity and shutter than would normally be the case. It's also only possible to compose the image from the views permitted by the boat, and sometimes it's not possible to do this as well as might be desired.
The original shots are in RAW format, however for display on this site they are converted to JPG and cut down to a maximum 800 pixel dimension. Larger sizes to a higher quality are available.
