Up Close and Personal

I've been trying out a little macro work recently. This was taken at Ystradfellte where it is almost always damp. The trees are covered in a huge variety of mosses and lichens.

The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close up.

Decay

This is a of a piece of wood on the forest floor, the soft moss covering the bark and the wood slowly decaying.

I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.

Dusk at Pwll Pen-y-Fan

This was taken in Wales, near to where I was brought up. Although a very simple and classic shot, I like the different textures of the sky, the water and the rushes in the foreground.

Desolate

It's been a long time since I posted here, but my camera hasn't been idle. It's been a traumatic 12 months for me and maybe this will be reflected in my photos. Comments,as always, are appreciated.

There will be more to come in the next few days.
