It’s been a busy week but I still earmarked one day to get out with the camera, preferable in November and still officially in autumn. With many of the trees in my area still having a little colour it was to be in my minds eye autumns last hurrah. With most of Britain sitting in a pocket of high pressure and stagnate cold air producing mist and fog I was champing at the bit to get into the woods. I started my journey in my now quiet car with the temperature reading 5c and before I got of the drive the frost warning pinged as it hit 4c. The mist was about but as soon as I hit Northumberland 15 mins up the road I was in a pea souper and then I watched the temperature drop a degree every 10 miles, by the time I reached my destination it was minus 2 and frosty white. To say I was excited was an under statement I was about to get to my favourite wood in superb conditions, a wood I’d been coming to for over 2 years and must of made at least 15 visits, excited I was wetting myself. However some places have their own micro-climate and this place is one. After boasting how well I knew this place I should have known, winter had well and truly arrived, the leaves and colour had vanished other than the marcescent leaves of the odd oak. As the saying goes you can’t have everything but next time I come here I want to catch falling snow, or am being just greedy.
Baskets full of colour at Issigeac Sunday market. This fantastic market fills the streets of the 13th/16th century town in the Dordogne France.

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
In this image I've tried to experiment with several ideas:
1) I've taken the motif of the first ever photography, "View from the Window at Le Gras," created by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce between 1826 and 1827 in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, France
2) The theory of creating colour images after James Clerk Maxwell's three-colour method first suggested in a paper on colour vision (1855).
3) The application using a carbon print - an image consisting of a pigment, rather than of silver or other metallic particles suspended in a uniform layer of gelatin invented by Alphonse Poitevin in 1855.
4) The use of the carbon process, as it was was later adapted to colour, through the use of pigments, by Louis Ducos du Hauron in 1868. The carbon process can be used to create colour images by using a three-transfer process with three seperate negatives exposed through red, green, and blue filters. These negatives are then printed on separate sheets of carbon tissue, each containing a different pigment (cyan, magenta, and yellow). The resulting images are transferred one at a time onto a final support, creating a full-colour carbon print.
We had just been for an aperitif and were walking back home with Bob when I stopped to capture the late afternoon low light shining on this very lovely corner of Cotignac. The main building you see is the La Falaise Hotel which opened earlier in the summer after being empty for the past few years. Part of the ground floor is an art gallery - you can see the entrance in the photo. The entrance to the hotel is at the rear.
Have a happy and colourful weekend! :-)

I found it hard to resist the shape of this old tree with the most fantastic autumnal background. Taken in the gorge of Corra Linn, Lanark, wildlife reserve in the peak of autumn, where the colour hanging over the stone verge is breathtaking.
National Trust, Dyffryn Gardens. I was fascinated by this splash of winter colour and spent a happy hour in this area of the gardens,.
A slightly awkward one to process as it was a JPEG. Long story but the camera had been altered to jpeg from RAW without my knowledge and I took a few shots before I realised.......

Crotons are a tropical plant that love warm weather but will also grow as an indoor plant in other climates. In a tropical garden setting they are most colourful if grown in shade for at least half a day and its in these shady spots they provide splashes of colour. There are hundreds of varieties of Crotons, with varying leaf shapes and colours.
