In this game, light is all. In natural surroundings the only way to capture it is to be out there when it happens. Studio work can be quite attractive at times especially when conditions outside are grim but when the subject is outside then it is a question of grin and bear it.

The last few shoots of Edgelands at Muntons were over a month ago. I’m not sure what has happened in the intervening weeks apart from Easter and a massive server failure here but thankfully all of that happened whilst the weather was grim.

This morning whilst checking out our backyard  I could tell that regardless of how we feel about the coldness of the early Spring, nature has decided it is time to move on with both Acer Palmatum Dissectums having broken bud. For me that event is the trigger that warm weather is on the way and a trigger that has my mind wander back to childhood days in North Wales as the old man went about his piscatorial activities chasing the elusive brown trout.

Anyway the weather forecast for tomorrow is superb for Suffolk but I shall be on campus drum scanning year 3 student work.

This is an S3400 scan from the 4th March shoot just as the sun was dropping onto the horizon. A worthy subject to drum scan…
