A pic from a trip to Great Haywood in Staffordshire last year… Haywood Junction is where the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal meets the Trent & Mersey Canal and it’s a great place for a spot of ‘Gongoozling’.

I think this was the first time out for the quirky GN NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8 lens too.

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

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!
