Misty layers

Another one from my afternoon out near Coalville with Andy. I had been playing with my old polariser for my sigma 10-20, but got bored and brought out my sigma 70-300, and took a couple of snaps of the distant skyline, not really thinking it would amount to much. I really like the effect here - I can’t help but think of parallax scrolling from old arcade games, which shows me up for bespectacled poindexter I am.

Old John, Bradgate Park, Leicestershire

I had a great afternoon today - the morning was foul weather but it was forecast for sunny interevals in the afternoon, so I went out with Andy and spent a glorious afternoon tramping round Bradgate Park, about 6 miles away.

I’ve been trying to get a good shot of Old John for ages now - you have to get the light just right. I’m really pleased with this one, even though I did almost fall off a big rock taking it and dash my brains out.
