A new dawn

So, almost seven months since my last post …. I’d like to think that this was the start of a new era, a new blogging me perhaps?! Not much chance of that – and just as well I didn’t make any New Year resolutions! Truth be told, what with one thing and another, I’ve barely even touched my camera. Finally, with a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel and a morning fog forecast I promised myself a ‘photographic fix’ in the nearby woods.

As usual, I’d readied everything the night before so I could grab my kit and head off before sun up – except that in my rusted state I’d forgotten a torch.  With all senses on full alert I felt my way along the muddy track that wound into the woods; it was a silent world full of the smell of damp earth and rotting leaves, shadowy trunks sliding past and an occasional falling twig crashing through the canopy when suddenly a deer barked …. its eerie cry subsiding way before my heart rate! It was answered by another across the woods and gradually, as darkness faded and birds were roused, the dawn chorus began.

Very little fog but a fabulous start to the day nonetheless!

Can’t see the wood for the trees …

So, another month has gone already – what happened?!

Truth be told I’ve actually managed to get out and about a reasonable amount with my camera but, shooting in RAW (with the processing that necessitates) and trying to maintain some sort of discipline with Lightroom, takes time. I also find that having too many photos makes choosing difficult – definitely a case of not seeing the wood for the trees …. and all the more appropriate considering my penchant for them! 🙂

I’ve managed a few quick posts to Instagram so for now I’ll ‘cheat’ by reposting them here. Sorry to those who will now have seen them twice – I’ll try not to do it too often!
