This one - definitely my favourite. It's just so shiny!

I’ve been very busy shooting weddings, portraits, engagements and more over the past few months so I haven’t had much of a chance to get out and shoot some landscape stuff. I was driving home today and the sky looked incredible, so as soon as I got back I grabbed my camera and went straight back out again!

I had past a couple of locations on my way home and decided to head straight for the closest one. When I arrived it was drizzling a bit, not too nice but hardly a problem so I grabbed my coat and got walking to the spot I’d seen earlier. I crossed over the road, walked through some woods and came upon a lovely scene. I took a few mediocre photos and walked further into the forest. All of a sudden it started to pour down with rain, luckily I was sheltered by the trees so I wasn’t getting too wet. I shot some more and decided to clamber through a hedgerow into a nearby field.

Whilst in the field the rain was getting heavier and heavier, I was getting soaked. I quickly moved back into my shelter under the trees and hoped for a break in the rain.

I didn’t get that break! I made my way back through the woods and crossed the road to my car, my hair dripping wet and my shorts clinging to my legs.

Anyway, it was worth it.. These images rock

I love the lines of this hedge following the road

I love framing through foreground elements as I have done here

I was expecting a very busy time this weekend. I had two photo shoots planned, a portrait shoot on Saturday and an engagement shoot on Sunday. The portraits on Saturday went really well, had lovely weather and got some fantastic photos in a local forest. On Sunday the weather was really ‘touch and go’ so we decided to postpone the pre-wedding shoot for a couple of weeks.

Even though I’d taken a couple of hundred photos on Saturday I still had an urge to take more on Sunday so I went out for a quick drive in the evening around some local countryside.

For some reason I’m posting things in reverse order at the moment. The previous post had images shot after this one and my next post includes images from a couple of weeks ago.

I was on the way back from Costco when I noticed some Lambs in a field and made a mental note to pop back later with the camera. These are the results.. No you can’t see the Lambs (never mind!)
