Much of my current photography is still local to home. I haven’t made a photography trip outside of Nottinghamshire since the coronavirus hit in early March and with the current situation worsening it seems that this will continue for some time.
Fortunately, living in the wider Sherwood Forest area means that I have been able to capture some of the emerging autumn colours which I will post shortly. In the meantime, I am working through September’s photography and thought this selection was worth showing - baked mud pie!
For most of the year a section of a local field is boggy. The water runs off the field and collects near to the entrance. Over the summer though, it has dried to form a crust and when viewed close-up forms some visually interesting shapes and textures:
Whilst taking these images, I noticed there was a compositional 'sweet spot' with the wider angle results, shown below, being less effective. This is something that often happens with abstract style photography and it is always worth spending a bit of time testing out the right focal length for the particular subject:
