I visited Ploughman Wood, a Nature Reserve in the good hands of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. It's between between Lambley and Woodborough in the Nottinghamshire countryside. Just a short distance from the Woodland. Here you can see some of the wonderful views on the approach to the woods.

We just had a long weekend here in the UK, yesterday was a public holiday and for me even longer as I had Friday off as well. I spent all of that time working in the garden, a DIY project to extend the decking area and create more space for plants/trees and flowers. It all sounds very nice and I'm sure it will be but I'm knackered !! :-) (so I'm catching up from my busy weekend)
Here is a shot from my garden, these very small flowers look really nice up close.
I have had a couple of mails asking for more South African landscapes, I'm struggling to keep up with processing them :-) but I will post a few more this week... promise :-))

A brief spell of mist a little while back and I knew exactly where to go. Having shot this handheld previously, I wanted to get back with the tripod to see if I could improve anything. A lower iso would be be a good start. I also used a slightly wider angle on the 35-70 lens instead of the 85mm last time. This helped get the two distant trees 'inside' the curve of the foreground one. I love the characters these wind blown trees have, and hope that comes across in the photograph.
Here in Week 6 of Be Still 52 I spent more time experimenting with side light...this time with bright afternoon light on the porch from the left and using a black foam core on the right. I am definitely out of my comfort zone using Kim's "darkmood" LR preset but I am happy with the results after a little tweaking and it has nurtured my creativity:) For props, I raided the garden shed but ended up with removing many of the props....simple was definitely best.
