Yesterday and today were challenging days weatherwise for our visit to Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. Torrential rain in the morning on Sunday gave way to sunny intervals. Unfortunately the wet conditions were too much for my weather-resistant telephoto lens and by afternoon was fogged up inside due to internal condensation. This is a set of images taken with my X100V in the afternoon - a mixture of slow shutterspeed, multiple exposure and HDR.

Fungi at Brandon Country Park
Beautiful autumn day at Brandon with golden sunlight through the trees yesterday for our RPS Nature Group Fungi hunt. There was a good variety around though not in the large numbers we have seen some years. I concentrated on some of the very small specimens found in the leaf litter etc. Mostly these are single shots at F13/F16 with 23mm lens plus close-up lens. The last two images are focus-stacked at F2 and F16 (No noise reduction at the moment as computer a bit poorly!)

Autumn at Santon Downham 2
In the afternoon, it gradually cloudy over giving different lighting to work with. I used an older camera, which will composit only two images together as an average and a very contrasty 50mm lens. The first image is an example of an old technique - the Orton effect where the first image is out of focus and the second image in exactly the same position is in focus. The second image is a panorama of the confier forest. The type of picture I had in my mind are images 3-6 where the camera has combines an underexposed ICM image of the forest tree trunks with a bright autumn branch from a beech sapling.
