Snow and Birches
Typical! It snowed for the first time in over a year down here and I was stuck at work! Fortunately the temperature remained below freezing and two days later I managed to get out to Epping Forest for a couple of hours.
I returned home with around eight images that I'm happy with. For me that's a lot. Maybe, because I know it could be over a year before I see these conditions again, I was in 'the zone'.
Anyway, this one has a nice splash of colour in, the bright patch in the sky doesn't bother me too much (for now).

Hidden Pond
I stumbled across this little gem by accident last week. There was so much potential in an area about 30 x 20 metres. I spotted some patches of heather that mean a return trip late summer is essential. Hopefully we'll have a cold snap and it'll freeze over in the next few weeks so I can capture some ice formations. I also found a small brook with fast running water - a first for me as they always seem to be either dry or stagnant. The project is really starting to take shape now. I feel it's taken almost a year to get to know the area and form a rough plan for the next couple of years.
I'm starting to compose more and more for a square crop too. It took me around 20 minutes to settle on this composition. The branches of the tree are covered in rain drops and I needed to get them set against a dark background. It was a grim day, this image was made at around 2pm, hopefully you get a sense of this.
Anyway, I've uploaded this image and a few more new photographs to the Epping section of my website. It would be great if you could check it out.
Thanks for visiting.

Stacked
These two images (this one and "Buried Alive") would look great on opposite pages in a book. At this rate the project is going to last around four years, so it may be a while!

This one reminded me of a crime scene drama where a body is found partially buried.
