This week I discuss digital approaches to one of the most challenging situation in which to find perfect exposure, Dappled forest sunlight:
I got to thinking about the problem while exploring the Wales Preserve in Sharon, New Hampshire. The bright sun created lovely splashes of light on the stream and lush forest. But how to capture the magic?

A couple weeks ago I walked over to Durand Eastman Park for my morning reading and prayers. I put the Argus C3 in the daypack. The sun was filtering through the trees most delightfully. I took several photographs around me from where I was sitting as the light changed, and one more straight up.

From Wikipedia:
Riber Castle is a 19th century Grade II listed country house situated in the hamlet of Riber on a hill overlooking Matlock, Derbyshire. It was built by John Smedley in 1862 as his private home. His wife lived in it until her death.
It is built of gritstone from a local quarry (Derbyshire is well-known for its quarrying) which was pulled up the 200 metre high hill by a series of pulleys.
After the death of Smedley's wife, the castle became a boys school until this became financially unsustainable in the 1930s. With the coming of WWII the Ministry of Defence used the site for storage. The MoD left following the war and the castle remained unused until the 1960s.
From the 1960s to September 2000 it was home to a wildlife park, to British and European Fauna.
Riber Castle Wildlife Park or "Riber Zoo", as it was known, was eventually sold by the owner, but they were unable to sell it as a going concern, and so the park eventually closed. The park was criticised heavily for the treatment of the animals kept there, and the closure was not without controversy.
Activists also released several Lynx from Riber zoo which escaped into the wild, sightings of the animals lead to locals coining the nickname "The beast of Lumsdale".
It is currently in disrepair, although there are plans to turn the shell into apartments which received planning consent on 15 March 2006. At this time there are no floors or roof to the castle building, and the remnants of the zoo are clear, with footpaths, enclosures and buildings still present. Access to the site before 2006 was securely restricted, until the perimeter fence was unwired to provide unrestricted access to the site, which later became a commonly used footpath. However, recently developers have added a second (more secure) fence, boarded up all entrance points and have manned security onsite.
The castle and the town of Matlock are key locations in the Shane Meadows film Dead Man's Shoes.

Upset stomach again today - annoying, as I felt like I'd had a decent sleep for the first time in a few days, but I ended up feeling drained all day. Anyway, we finally made it to the tip this morning (been planning to go for a few weeks), and took a diversion to Oxleas Wood on the way back. Saw a load of old and classic cars parked up there, which was interesting. Had a quick look at them, then went off in search of bluebells. Quite a few around but my photos never come out quite how I picture them in my head. Ah well, this'll do.
Had a fairly relaxed day after that, catching up on photos, Duolingo and PS4.
Shot this photo with the Mamiya RZ6 ProIID loaded with Kodak Portra 800. I love the feeling that this dappled light gives. I think it adds movement to this ordinary black wall and this still pose.
Strawberry Fields in Central Park - in the dappled light, a memorial to John Lennon, who was murdered just yards away on 8 December 1980. Yoko Ono Lennon has donated $1 million towards the maintenance of this quiet area.
Should you be interested, there's a fine bronze memorial to John Lennon in Havana, which I photographed a few years ago. I think the authorities there regarded him as a slain revolutionary more than a songwriter.
Not a traditional black and white subject, but it helped with the hidden nature of the creature involved.
Walking around Rivington, near Horwich. The trees and undergrowth seemed quite lush and the play of the light through the leaves gave a rainforest feel to the place.

Gorgeously bright day, Edinburgh very busy with both locals and tourists on a sunny Saturday. Walked through the Grassmarket and found a group holding an open-air Tango session. Dancing right there under the dappled spring sunshine coming through the newly leafy trees, casting a lovely mix of bright light and shade that was just begging for some monochrome shots. Was lovely to see people enjoying themselves like this in the middle of a busy Saturday, right there in a busy square, under the shadow of the Castle.
This Birch tree is incredible, its looks so old and yet the normal lifespan is only 80-100 years for a Birch tree.There may be places where the energies of the earth extend life......
Finding myself both with 10 minutes to spare, and being on the road l was.......I decided to stop the car and explore work done by Gunby Estate. (Least l think it was work carried out by the Gunby Estate!!).
Trees had been thinned out, leaving just healthy ones, and a woodchip path lead me through the trees. It was cool and quiet, even though next to a road.
A peaceful and pleasant amble, with a few moments taken away from the 'rat race' of life.
So "thank you" the Gunby Estate, or whoever did carry out the work.
Classical mill designs are usually water powered, though some are wind mills, or powered by livestock. A sluice gate is used to open a channel and so start the water flowing and a water wheel turning. In most such mills the water wheel was mounted vertically (i.e. edge-on) in the water, but in some cases horizontally (the tub wheel and so-called Norse wheel). Later designs incorporated horizontal steel or cast iron turbines and these were also sometimes refitted into the old wheel mills.
Had a decent sleep last night - so nice not having an alarm this morning. Tim and I both still waiting to feel better, so we had a pretty easy morning, then went for a gentle (and short) walk this afternoon.
I cleaned the kitchen this afternoon, too - definitely progress! Slightly concerned by this evening when I started getting a bit of a sore throat, and noticed a white patch on my dangly bit (aka uvula, I believe). Not another thing...!
