Wimpole Estate

 Yesterday was very enjoyable showing Lynn around the Wimpole Estate and taking lots of photographs in the varied locations and with changing weather conditions. I was using my full-spectrum camera which gave some interesting colours and tones to the day.

Bradgate Park Dawn Onwards

Members of the RPS Nature Group met at 7am for a walk at Bradgate on Monday and our early morning start was rewarded with a colourful sunrise and plenty of Red and Fallow deer activity during the day. 

Fungi at Bradgate Park

The star fungi were the Parasols (Macrolepiota procera) but there were plenty of other species, including several Mycenas, Crusts, Puffballs, Milkcap oosing milky drops and Beefsteak Bracket dripping red fluid!!

Deer at Sunset, Bradgate Park

Some images from a 2-day visit to Bradgate Park - these taken yesterday at the sunset showing the effects on contrast and colours of sunshine versus shadow, and side, front or backlighting.

Launde Abbey in the Rain

The journey to Launde Abbey (near Rutland Water) for a Nature Photographers convention involved a large number of flooded roads both near home in Cambridgeshire and around the Abbey itself. I took a paddle around the grounds before the first session started.
