Throwback Thursday… Landscapes around Ilam
Stormy sky, Ilam, October 2020
Fujifilm X-T2, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 62mm, 1/220s, f8, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was the landscape around Ilam Park in Staffordshire during a Photography Friday outing with Rachel.
The 158-acre country park is on both banks of the River Manifold and is a great place for a walk at any time of year but especially in autumn!

A couple of minutes after these pics were taken the heavens opened and we both ended up wet and cold!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was the flora and fauna at Straws Bridge nature reserve near Ilkeston in Derbyshire.
I’m not sure but I think I was experimenting with a Fujifilm MCEX-11 Extension Tube that day…
