Arthur in Bradgate Park

Bradgate park - hooray! First weekend that we’ve really taken Arthur outdoors and let him see how the world works. Normally he just looks at it from his pram. He was happy as larry.

Apologies for the slew of baby photos. Life is so busy with the nipper I have little chance for “Proper” photography, so most of my best pictures are baby centric at the mo. I realise it’s a bit dull, but it’s nice for me to have a record of them on here!

Tracks in crops, near Woodhouse Eaves

Managed to get out yesterday for the first proper little photography jaunt since Arthur was born. Nice weird day too - weather very moody and changeable. This was the only keeper though, really. Trying to leave off the HDR at the moment and concentrate on using my ND filters properly. This is just with a graduated filter to darken the sky a little, and then a touch of post processing to lighten the trees, as they were a bit too black.

Queens Park in Spring

The park in Loughborough can look really nice at this time of year. I was there today with lots of family from Canada, and sneaked off to take this HDR - it’s under the same trees as this shot taken in the autumn. I liked the lush green boughs and the shapes created by the trees and path. Far from a perfect pic - the movement of the leaves has created quite a few artefacts, but worth an upload I think.
