I discovered this gnarly old character whilst out practicing with the 50mm, which I think in a way helped me with this composition - framed with my feet instead of a convenient zoom lens 😅 (constraints can be good for the creative process!) definitely worth keeping an eye on as conditions change.

The Wisp - A lovely character found in a new (but still local) woodland. This was primarily a scouting mission as the sun was high and the light harsh. It did provide some nice direct light onto this slender pine (I’m not 100% on the species - if you know please let me know 😊)

A couple of pines catching the light. I love how pines glow when they catch the light right 👌😊

❄️ The Frozen Ones - A frosty March morning, looking over farm fields towards the distant hedge rows and this trio of frosty skeletal trees caught my eye. A cool mist calmed the scene nicely, adding a little atmosphere between them and the background thicket. Glad I had my gloves on that morning 😅🥶

April’s Pink Moon 🌕 @ 99% illumination
The first full moon of spring. The Pink Moon is named after a species of early blooming wild flower in the US which has pink flowers.
In other cultures this full moon is called sprouting grass moon, the egg moon, and the fish moon.

Spring Greens ☀️🍃 - Beautifully backlit leaves emerging from the awakening silver birch.
The warm spring sunrise made these fresh greens pop nicely against the cooler tones of the surrounding woodland.

The Tangle - this beautifully tangled tree caught my eye in the evening light. I didn’t mind the harsh contrast on this one, as I felt it adds to the appeal of the messy branches poking and stabbing out in every direction. This little tree has attitude!

The Prisoner - this lone oak caught my eye as it stood out amongst the pines, almost as though it was behind bars or under guard.

A nice little side-lit scene, a naked oak standing behind a Scots Pine, it’s almost as though the pine is pushing its furry branches out to protect the oaks modesty 😅

Calm light on a peaceful morning - a few shots from an early mornings wander with some lovely calm light filtering through the trees, caught in a little mist giving a little atmosphere around these characterful trees.
The first one reminds me of an upside down peace ☮️ symbol, do you see this?

The Green Goblin - This lovely moss covered oak conjured images of a woodland goblin or some other beast, flailing its arms to make its self look big and scary. Or maybe because it was startled by a random photographer in the woods 😅

A Sunrise Silhouette - A beautiful lone oak is brilliantly backlit as the rising sun starts to brighten the scene. A slight mist rising from the surrounding fields adds a little atmosphere as the suns rays cut through, warming the long grasses in the foreground.

Slow Dance - These two Scot’s pine caught my eye as they caught the last of the days light. Nestled closely, the two are locked in a slow dance, overlooked by the surrounding trees, and beautifully lit for their performance.

Fun with a Frozen Water Lily - It’s something a little bit abstract and perhaps a bit messy, but for me, there’s something about the depth created with the trapped bubbles, layers of ice and frost, and how it muted the colours of the lily pads 👌
