Stockgrove Park

During the last two days the weather has permitted me to return to Stockgrove Park. It has been very cold, but I have taken advantage of the time that I have before I depart on my next trip. My visit of the park yesterday could have turned out to be a different experience. I was in a section of the park that I did not know. Before I realized, I had started going around in circles and was not sure where I was. I had to think very carefully on how to get out of the park. I could not see the sun through the trees. I had to rely on something else to get me out of the wood. I eventually used the moss which predominantly grows on the northern side of the trees. I used this method to stop walking around in circles. I eventually arrived on the outskirts of the town. I then had a relaxing walk back to the car.












This morning I was out and about very early. I have managed to shoot some incredible shots in the wood again. Rays of morning sunlight streaming through the trees. I have captured these images in RAW using my Canon EOS1 DS Mark3 with a Canon zoom 24-70 2.8L and processed the pictures with Lightroom 2.1 http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshoplightroom/, which has many facilities to process RAW images like the filters which makes it possible to lighten or darken only certain parts of the photographs.
