Hedegerow above Wymeswold, Leicestershire

I’m really enjoying exploring the footpaths around my new home - it’s very close to where I grew up (Barrow upon Soar, 5 miles away) but up in the “wolds” (a sort of slightly hilly area) so has a different feel to it. This is a lovely time of year for colours, as you can see. I went out on my mountain bike, took this, and was back in 20 minutes. Hooray for moving house :)

Technical details: f/6.3, iso 200, 1/160s, handheld, graduated ND filter used (although I could probably have got away without it, as the light was just right)

Colours

Had a lovely walk around Wymeswold with Andy this evening. Explored the fields and lanes around here - it’s lovely. I stupidly left my ISO on 1600, so the pics were all grainy as anything, but this one was still a keeper. Technically it’s probably a bad picture of something good, but hey ho, I can but try.

Meadow, Wymeswold

I’ve just moved house to a little village that has a lot more pleasant surroundings than my old house in Loughborough. I finally had enough time to go out with the camera last night (with Andy and his kids) and found a lovely meadow a few hundred yards from my house. Had a nice few minutes messing around and dodging cowpats - I always enjoy being in meadows, you don’t see that many of them any more.

Technical info: iso 100, f/4.5, 18mm, graduated ND filter to darken sky
