Out and About – Laggan Wood

Out and About – River Braan

This image was taken as I walked along the gorge cut through the woods by the River Braan, near Dunkeld in Perthshire. The sun was just filtering into the trees and the lack of leaves meant that the thin branches were illuminated whilst the trees and thicker branches were rim lit. The thinner tendril-like branches … Continue reading Out and About – River Braan →

Witley court started off as a medieval manor house but was bought by the Foley family in 1655. Over the next two centuries … Continue reading Out and About – Witley Court →

Out and About – Avoncroft Museum

Today I was in Worcestershire just outside Bromsgrove visiting the Avoncroft Museum. The museum is home to over 30 different historic buildings that have been rescued, dismantled and debuilt in 19 acres of countryside. I took the D800 and the 50mm f/1.8 standard lens with me today, as I thought that I would need the … Continue reading Out and About – Avoncroft Museum →
