Things have been a little quiet here of late, I’ve not had much enthusiasm for photography, or anything else really… But we’re now approaching my favourite time of the year, autumn, and hopefully that will make me feel a bit more enthusiastic and productive!

Anyway… here’s another image from a trip to Calke Abbey last August.

An image from a trip to Calke Abbey last August, an image I wasn’t confident about at all… hand-holding the camera at 1/30th second with the lens wide open at f/3.5!

I’m slowly getting back to posting regularly now the incredibly busy (and tiring) month of December is (almost) over…

This bridge across Burbage Brook in the Peak District is a very popular spot with visitors but it’s still possible to get a few quiet moments…
