As we come to the end of the month we are getting closer to the end of the year as well, the dreaded advertising is entering into the shops for the festive season and the colder weather. Also we are only a week away from the end of The Enchanted Forest, that I get so much pleasure from being involved in, I have been to the show for the last time this year last Friday (21st) and so the last batch of shots from it. I have not had chance of much photography apart from at the forest as I have been decorating our living room/dining room space. Well overdue according to my boss, though not a lot of difference in colour from last time, but it had to be done as we have also replaced three windows in the dining room end.
21st.
A vast show at Enchanted Forest, but such small details as this shot is what I really enjoy, simplicity, but effective.
On a still, slightly misty evening even though there were hundreds of folk around, scenes like these two are truly magical.
I decided that I would try some experimenting with some different camera techniques. All three of these last shots are taken at a five second exposure moving the camera and getting these affects. This first one is actually of the leaves in the shot above this one but slowly moving the camera from left to right during the exposure.
These two are a set of maybe a thousand fairy lights in amongst the trees (hence the vertical line down the middle of both shots), first one left to right, second just a slight movement . Love to know, was it worth it?
25th.
I make no excuses about loving Autumn and the colour it brings to the garden, it is my favourite season and I hope you do not mind me indulging in some more photos from within it. Couldn’t choose my favourites so I have put most of what I liked on here.
Just some of the colourful leaves close up.
The Acer is starting to lose it’s leaves but still look good piled up on the ground.
The Heathers still looking good.
The tub at the front door gives a warm welcome.
No real colour in the sky but the Birch brings gold into the garden.
The colours at the bottom of the field cheer you up when opening the curtains on a damp morning.
