A pretty simple composition for today’s post – a low chain fence in the grounds of a nearby church – but one I like thanks to the light and the lovely look of Ilford HP5+

The term ‘forest’ in the title up there is somewhat misleading. This is actually a small plantation of pines nestled into a meander of the River Rother not far from Eckington. It’s a place I’ve never visited before, but it has potential for some nice photos – it certainly did on the snowy, misty day when this photo was taken.

There’s an impressive flight of steps that descends the side of the hill down to the road where this house stands. I didn’t venture down them on this instance though, just took this shot before the roll of film ran out. As it was the final frame, there was some damage to part of the negative and so it’s been cropped to a square format. The light wasn’t great and I shot this wide open, which has resulted in a nice effect from the resulting shallow depth of field on the foreground.

Friday morning was both frosty and misty, so before work I went for a quick drive out to finish the roll of HP5+ in the camera. I took this one before even getting in the car.

As all the snow we’d had recently began to thaw, we had a wonderfully misty day. I shot nearly a full roll of film over the course of a four mile walk. It was well worth the squelchy ground. 🙂

I’m going through a bit of an arty-farty image border phase at present. Not sure whether it’s a good idea or not, but it does seem to make photos look better in many cases.

Part of the outflow on Mablethorpe beach. The outflow is where The Cut, part of the extensive agricultural drainage system that covers the low-lying county of Lincolnshire, empties into the north sea.

I’ve been digging through some (slightly) older shots to see if there are any that I haven’t done anything with, but which are still worth a look. This was one which stood out.

Another photo from the first (of twenty!) rolls of 2007 expired Fuji Superia 100. Lovely colours from this stuff.
