Just a few short days in the Peak District; a trip over too quickly. Has to be one of the most beautiful places in the UK.. and led to a photographic revival for me after many weeks of not taking a photo! The images below are panoramic in format, either cropped to size or formed from several images.

It is not really necessary to stitch images together; but I find it results in a certain look that I find pleasing. Plus it gives a wider field of view when it comes to cropping and adjusting in photoshop.

My efforts at woodland photography are sadly lacking. Three sessions in and around Watlington Hill, Christmas Common and Aston Rowant woods resulted in a total of zero images worth keeping.

Certainly not up to the likes of Nigel Danson or Steve O’Nions who I greatly admire from their youtube channels. But as Danson says in a recent video it has taken him years of practice, trial and error in reaching his standard. I’ve quite some way to go.

But I had fun. And it got me out of the studio and doing something different.

These fungi shots aren’t going to win any awards but I am moderately happy with the results; they are certainly more successful than my woodland efforts.
