These days I don’t consciously think about this process whilst I am taking the photographs as it happens automatically. I know this because I used to go out with a camera, particularly when I started photography, and go home because I couldn’t see anything to photograph (or I couldn’t make a composition from what I could see).
Today I would be comfortable going anywhere and would always come back with photographs. The only criteria I would apply is whether the result have a personal visual appeal....as to whether someone else would see that appeal, I guess some would and some wouldn’t, so no point over worrying about that!
With that discussion in mind, these are the small changes and details details I spotted during November along the Southwell Trail, starting with the first frost of the autumn season.
The first ground frost I captured was a mild one in mid-November - no doubt there had been a few more but I tend not to go out very early, preferring the light from 10 am onwards...it also suites my own time clock and I have never been a dawn riser!
The results show compositions made from the undergrowth of grasses, bracken and fallen leaves. Hopefully these rather mundane subjects have that visual appeal I mentioned above in addition to a straight forward documentation of the conditions:
I have been following the progress of the hornbeam trees across the seasons during this year. To complete the annual cycle I recorded the leaves changing their colours and eventually falling to cover the ground:
Finally, I documented the seasonal changes in some of the silver birch and oak trees along the trail. Simple, easy photography, but also enjoyable:
