Nearly --- spring

Nearly Spring

Flora down in the Bollin Valley, Prestbury, Cheshire. There is a feeling that the worst of winter is over, conditions have turned quite mild though one should always prepare for a super cold ‘snap’ at this time of year. Much of the Bollin Valley is a mess of decayed weeds at this time but occasionally there are odd things that appear to be worthy of a picture.

Oliver Wood Photography on Blogger — again. Thanks largely to their new templates that are so good for displaying any photographic or artwork orientated material. I think this is going to become my main ‘folio blog’.

Orion over Prestbury

Orion Over Prestbury, Cheshire

Orion heralds the beginning of 2012 in Prestbury. Starting the New Year with some night-time photo experiments and I’m very happy with the results! This shot was taken from a field just off Chelford Road and the magical essence of this still, quiet, mysterious but optimistic night has been crystallised in this image (for me) it was a 61second exposure — I had no idea what the camera was going to see.

The Bollin Valley at Prestbury in Cheshire is a mass of deadheads and tangled parchment like grass, it is that time of year when one can find few but occasionally attractive sights — ready for the springtime now!

Still waiting for some decent snow this year, these images were taken in 2010 (Dec 18th) — it was a very cold winter, one of the coldest on record. Re-Processed with HDR and pre-Raphaelite lighting effects.
