Stood in the damp and cold whilst sun went down and mist failed to roll in... 🙄

A high-contrast, moody black and white photograph captured near dusk. The scene features a low horizon dominated by a dark, dense forest line of bare trees silhouetted against the slightly brighter, cloud-streaked sky. In the foreground, a dark, cultivated field is divided by a grassy bank or track that curves into the lower right. The overall tone is dramatic and somber, emphasizing textures and deep shadows.

This is what I'm working on. Lot of connections/details. If I had made detailed notes when reading it I would have only part of it. Memory of the sequences of UK locations was incorrect. Gemini was correct in this example. Many ways to do the same thing. Experiment to use AI.

This is a few weeks ago. It looks nothing like this now after a cold snap, hail and wind.

#photography
A dense woodland edge in late autumn. The foreground shows a strip of short green grass. Immediately behind is a thicket of lighter green and yellow-green shrubs, possibly hazel, with some visible leaf-fall. To the right and above, a large, dark-barked oak tree stands, its upper branches filling the top right quadrant with darker green and brown-tinged leaves. The overall mood is cool and subdued, typical of a temperate climate approaching winter.

A reject photo from my Uni project, but shows how trees are managed in a woodland.

#photography
A gloomy, wide-angle photo of a wooded area in late autumn or early winter. In the foreground, a cluster of mature, coppiced deciduous trees with rough, grey-brown bark dominates the left side. The ground is covered in a mixture of dead brown leaves and patches of green undergrowth. In the background, numerous slender, grey tree trunks stretch upwards towards a pale, overcast sky. The overall atmosphere is quiet and slightly eerie, typical of a temperate woodland transitioning into winter.

The Great Wood doing a "great" autumn

#photography
A horizontal photo captures a large deciduous tree in the middle of a woodland area, transitioning into autumn. The tree's central canopy is dominated by bright, rich yellow and yellow-green foliage, creating a striking contrast against the darker, sparser, and mostly bare branches of the surrounding trees. The ground in the foreground is covered in dry, light brown grass and dead leaves. The background forest appears dense with varied greens and grey-brown trunks under a bright, overcast sky, highlighting the main tree's autumnal color display.

The Great Wood

In the last few weeks, I've made 11 outings, 871 images, used 2 cameras and 5 lenses for this project (so far).

#photography
Two large, moss-covered oak trees frame a densely wooded scene in autumn. The tree on the left is heavily cloaked in ivy. Between the oaks, a smaller tree has snapped and fallen diagonally across the view, its dead branches tangled with the surrounding undergrowth. The background is a mix of deciduous trees and shrubs with remaining yellow and green leaves, set against a bright, overcast sky. The foreground has a strip of green grass and dead leaves.

A foggy, autumnal scene shows a wet, asphalt road with a solid white line in the foreground. Beyond the road, a strip of ground is covered in brown and orange fallen leaves, marking the edge of a woodland. Several tall, mostly bare tree trunks stand prominently. In the middle ground, the forest features trees with remaining yellow and green foliage. The background reveals a misty, open grassy field, partially obscured by the fog. A small circular sign is visible on the far left.

Only joking obviously... That's not the end of the drive, this is... 😉
A slightly low-angle photograph captures a sunlit asphalt path winding through a stately avenue of trees during autumn. The path is bordered by small, white, cylindrical bollards. To the left, a thick carpet of fallen brown leaves covers the ground beneath large, golden-hued trees. To the right, the path opens up to a bright green lawn or field, featuring scattered trees with red and orange foliage. The light is warm, casting long shadows and highlighting the vibrant colors of the leaves against a pale blue sky.

Quick stroll to the end of the drive to catch the pad looking glorious in the last rays of the day...

#photography
A wide-angle photo captures a grand, pale yellow manor house in the late afternoon sun. A long, gravel driveway leads directly towards the house, lined on both sides by white posts and rope. The ground is covered in grass and fallen autumn leaves. The dramatic, elongated shadow of the photographer stretches down the center of the driveway, pointing towards the building. Trees with reddish-brown foliage flank the house, and the sky above is a mix of blue and dramatic, dark clouds. The lighting is warm, highlighting the front facade.

From a Uni project on a local woodland and a new power line

#photography
A rural landscape on an overcast day. In the foreground, there's a grassy field enclosed by a wire fence and wooden posts, with a dirt track curving from the bottom right. To the far right, the base of a large metal electricity pylon dominates the edge of the frame. In the middle ground, the field slopes toward a small cluster of rustic buildings with dark roofs and some exposed brick/wood, nestled at the edge of a dense, dark forest that fills the background under a pale, grey sky.

A low-angle photo of a white vehicle, partially obscured by overgrown bushes and tall weeds, sits beneath the massive, crisscrossing metal frame of a high-voltage electricity pylon. The pylon structure fills the upper right, topped with a ring of barbed wire and featuring a yellow warning sign in the upper right corner. In the background, beyond the vehicle, are trees with green and autumnal orange foliage, and the upper part of a brick house with a chimney. The overall scene suggests an abandoned or disused area.

A symmetrical photograph centered on a tall, lattice electricity pylon under a pale, overcast sky. The pylon stands in the middle of a vast, dry field with a dark, dense line of green trees bordering the horizon on either side. Numerous high-tension power lines extend dramatically outwards and upwards from the top of the pylon, creating strong diagonal lines that frame the central structure. The long exposure of the photo blurs the clouds, enhancing the stark contrast between the industrial structure and the natural landscape.

#photography
A vast solar farm stretches across the foreground under a cloudy sky, with rows of dark photovoltaic panels extending toward the horizon. Two prominent, symmetrical electricity pylons stand tall in the middle ground, flanked by several others receding in the distance. Thick power lines connect the pylons, creating a dramatic, geometric web against the monochrome sky. The image juxtaposes renewable energy generation with the traditional infrastructure of power transmission.

More out of context images from a project I'm doing for Uni

#photography
A wide-angle landscape photo featuring a gray, overcast sky dominating the upper two-thirds of the frame. Six parallel power lines extend diagonally from the top left towards the bottom right, traversing the sky. Below the sky, a dense line of trees stretches across the middle of the image, showing a mix of deep green and autumnal brown/orange foliage. The bottom edge of the photo is a ploughed, earthy brown field. The overall mood is somewhat muted due to the cloudy weather.

A horizontal landscape photo on an overcast day. In the foreground is a field of low, green and brownish-green plants, possibly a crop, with a strip of mown grass at the bottom. Across the mid-ground, a dark row of four parallel power lines stretches horizontally across the frame, positioned slightly above the central horizon. Below the power lines, on the horizon, is a clump of deciduous trees with dull green, brown, and yellow autumn foliage, standing slightly higher than the surrounding field. The sky is filled with heavy, grey, and white clouds.

The Great Wood doing is autumnal thing. Love this time of year.

#photography
A dense line of forest under a cloudy, overcast sky. The trees are a mix of late autumn colors, predominantly dark green and brown-green, with one central tree displaying striking golden-orange foliage. Below the treeline is a strip of dark, tilled earth or field, which is separated from the dense tree roots and trunks by a thin, grassy verge. The image has a somewhat muted, slightly somber tone consistent with a cloudy day.

A bright, sunny, low-angle photo shows a red and white plastic construction barrier standing in front of a line of light-colored metal railings. The barrier is centered, blocking the sidewalk entrance. Behind the railings is a roundabout with a central, planted island. Two cars, a red hatchback on the left and a white SUV on the right, are driving on the road around the roundabout. Trees and a clear blue sky are in the background. The photo has a slightly vintage, film-like appearance.

A dramatically low-angle, vertical shot looking straight up at a streetlamp mounted on a textured, light-colored building wall. The wall's surface is rough and slopes up and away from the camera. The central feature is a dark, vertical metal pole that runs from the bottom of the frame up into the top, where it supports a small, yellowish streetlamp head. This pole is recessed into a deep, dark vertical channel or groove in the wall. A yellow and black tag, marked "150" and "16 2117," is visible at the very bottom, attached to the pole. The top third of the image is a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds.

A slightly low-angle, medium shot of a partially covered parking area beneath a modern, two-story building. The upper level features white siding and a continuous band of rectangular windows. The ground level is a concrete lot with a covered section supported by thick white pillars. The covered area has a dark asphalt floor with faded white lines marking parking spots, like "G1" and "G2". The back wall is red brick with a single white door visible in the center. To the right, there are large, louvered white doors. The lighting is slightly shadowed under the overhang, with two exterior wall sconces mounted above the pillars.

A slightly low-angle photograph captures a cluster of large commercial waste bins in an asphalt service area next to a brick building. The most prominent bin is a large blue Veolia bin marked "CARDBOARD ONLY," standing next to a slightly smaller dark blue IBC bin and a brown bin. A black bin stands on the far left. The bins are on wheels, and some scattered trash is on the ground. A metal railing surrounds a raised landing leading to the reddish-brown brick building.

A dramatic, worm's-eye view of a modern, low-rise building and a large, leafy tree. The building's upper story is dominated by a long row of rectangular windows with white frames, set into a textured grey facade. The tree, with its dark, rough trunk partially covered in ivy, stands to the right, its bright green canopy sprawling over the top of the frame. The sunlight filtering through the leaves creates a dappled effect. The contrast between the concrete architecture and the vibrant natural elements is striking. A small part of a person's head, possibly taking a photo, is visible at the bottom center.

A high-angle, symmetrical shot down the length of a vast, empty industrial warehouse or depot. The long, concrete floor has zebra crossings and a large white circle with the number five painted in the foreground. A high, vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden trusses and large skylights runs the entire length of the building, providing bright, natural light. On the left, a wall of large glass windows reflects the light, while the right wall is brick with tall, narrower windows and a door near a fire extinguisher. A few vehicles are visible far in the distance, centered under the skylights. The perspective creates a strong sense of depth and scale.

A view through a chain-link security fence shows a small, vintage-style red and yellow "Tokens" booth in the foreground, angled to the left. Behind it, a larger fairground attraction, possibly a carousel, with ornate yellow and red trim is partially visible. The scene is set on a pebble beach, with metal barriers surrounding the fair area. In the background, the ocean horizon is visible under a blue sky with white clouds. The fence creates a dominant grid pattern over the image, giving it a unique, restricted perspective.

Great minds think alike! Only went into town to pickup some new glasses. Made the mistake of popping into Dial Lane Books (Ipswich). Such a great shop 👌

Two people are sitting opposite each other at a wooden table inside a cafe, backlit by a large window showing a cloudy sky. The person on the left faces the camera and wears a tan jacket over a red top, a furry hat, and glasses. The person on the right is seen from behind, wearing a patterned scarf or hat and a light jacket. On the table, there are mugs, a small espresso cup and saucer, a water carafe, a phone, and a couple of glasses. The strong backlight creates a warm, intimate atmosphere.
