The lack of winds and warm temperatures have ensured that autumn in the forest is very colourful. Point a camera anywhere and the colours are amazing.
Still deep in the archives, this shot's from 1984. A bunch of us used to go and camp there from time to time between about 1981 and 1985, which was seemingly legal in those days - the forest wardens would appear on little trail bikes and sell us a camping ticket for a nominal fee and were happy as long as we didn't light fires or leave litter behind. I'm guessing this has changed now as I haven't seen a tent in the forest in decades - though tbh I never saw anyone else camping there back then either.

The valley of Cuckoo Brook in the southwest of the forest near Chingford. The large trees in this shot are all hornbeams, with an understory of holly.
First the forecast predicted mist, then sunshine and then cloud but looking out saw the mist coming around 7.30 this morning. Hotfoot into the forest.

It had been a while since I had been in the car park for the Epping Underground Station, and had forgotten how big it is. This is right at the end; a wide variety of cars, a tube train just leaving for London, and a preserved train (which I'll return to in another picture).
Last Sunday I was lucky enough to have some time for photography. I decided to head back into Epping Forest to see if I still had my tree mojo. Here are three images I made while standing in the rain.
My first trip to Epping Forest and I was blessed with almost perfect colour and conditions - happiest four hours with a camera I've had for a long time.
The furthest I’ve travelled since I began working from home back in March is Hampstead Heath, which is around a mile and a half away. Until yesterday I’d not had any inclination to travel any further, but the claustrophobia finally kicked in and I had to get out of north London. I took the camera for a walk around a quiet part of Epping Forest. The weather was pretty dreary and I wasn’t expecting to come back with anything special. I tried split toning the images in Lightroom but as expected they remained a bit flat. I then converted them to mono and some of the images sprang to life. I’ve kept the split toning which gives the images a warm feel instead of straight black and white.
I’ve never subscribed to the “light is everything” school of thought. Composition has always been my main concern: each photograph being a puzzle to solve. If the light is spectacular then that’s just an added bonus. I’ll post a few more of these up over the coming days. I don’t think I’m a black and white convert, but it does feel good to have done something creative for the first time in months.
Taken in Epping Forest. The sun made a brief appearance although the mist had largely disappeared by then. Shame, but it was a most memorable experience to be in this beautiful place on such a morning. We have a most wonderful God.

Epping Forest is a 2,400-hectare area of ancient woodland, and other established habitats, between Epping in Essex to the north, and Forest Gate in Greater London to the south, straddling the border between London and Essex. It is a former royal forest, and is owned and managed by the City of London Corporation.
This is from a couple of years ago, never gave this image a second look until today. If I can remember there was a light fog this particular morning.
Epping Forest in Autumn.
Dick Turpin rode through here, Boudica made camp before sacking London and massacring the Romans, the history goes back to primitive man who made stockades here to keep cattle and protect their tribes.
Connaught Water is one of the most popular lakes to walk around in Epping Forest, largely because of the range of wildlife that lives here and its close proximity to Chingford.

A wetland area, currently just slightly swampy but will turn into a group of small ponds over the winter.

Several areas of Epping Forest are still under water - nothing like the West Country but noticeable for all that.
