Gnarly Trees and Updates

Some gnarled old trees from Bradgate Park, that were symbolically beheaded when Lady Jane Grey was beheaded... clearly her trees deserved the same fate.



UPDATES:

I am now based in LEICESTER (just off the M1), so great links to the north & south, and I can officially get to the heart of London in a relatively fast commute - I have done a couple of 7:30am starts there with help from coffee.

I am in lens buying mode at the moment. The trees image (sorry for the token b&w landscapes, but I couldn't resist) were taken on a new Canon 50mm f/1.4.
Expect everything to have a shallow depth of field for the next few weeks until I get over it.

70-300mm L up next, for long-distance facade details / compressed perspectives.

Also purchasing the Canon tilt/shift 17mm L soon. Can't wait for this wide-angle perspective correcting world absorber.. sure to improve the compositional accuracy and speed of my work as I will no longer have to stitch everything together from the tilt/shift 24mm L, also it will allow some impossibly wide-angle stitched images which I look forward to trying out.

I just got back from an amazing holiday to Dubrovnik, Croatia - images coming soon.
