Even when the weather is poor there is always
the possibility of a break in clouds and some sunlight towards the end of the
day. Often it is the case of observing what is happening from home and reacting
quickly if the conditions improve.
With only a limited time available it is
important to have a clear venue and composition in mind. Currently, my go to
destination is the fields and trees near to Blanchbeck Lane, a location that
has featured regularly in my posts this year, and works very well in afternoon
light.
I managed to be in the right place at the right
time twice during October. On both occasions the light only lasted for a few
minutes but it was enough time to take a few shots. These are some of the
results starting with a set from the last day in October. I was particularly
drawn to the golden glow of a lime tree illuminated by the low afternoon
sunlight:
This next set was taken in early October when
many of the trees still had their green leaves. Beside the warming sunlight,
the key subject here was the standing water in the fields. The levels of rain
throughout the October and November meant that there was never an opportunity
for this to drain away and like many of the local fields they remained waterlogged for weeks:
