Tabitha's photos for all seasons

Like so many of Eynsham's artists, photographer Tabitha Schenk needs to look no further than Oxfordshire for inspiration. Indeed all the photos she will be showing at the Eynsham Emporium on Saturday 24 November have been taken in our county. Tabitha is especially keen to show seasonal images. 
"Fireworks are a lot harder to photograph than you'd think," says Tabitha. "With only one chance to capture the moment it explodes you just have to point and shoot, there's no time to think, it's instinctive." This photo was taken a year ago at the annual Bartholomew fireworks display in Eynsham.
"To get the best shots of snowdrops you have to get down to their level," she says. This image was taken in February this year and is available as a print (40cm x 30cm - £20).

The winter thrushes are beginning to migrate down from Scandinavia to spend the winter in the UK. Here's a very handsome fieldfare she spotted. "I took this from my kitchen window, when it snowed in December 2010."


 Many of Tabitha's photographs are available as handmade cards (£2 each or 3 for £5) and are suitable for any occasion.
Tabitha will be exhibiting her photographs and cards at the Eynsham Emporium on Saturday 24 November where you can get two for the price of one on hot drinks while you admire her work.
