I saw these tiny fungi on a rotting tree stump. Photographed with a mobile phone.

This spot amongst the tall beech trees is one of my very favourite places in the Forest of Bere. It reminds me of being inside a cathedral.

Another experiment in black and white. After converting to b&w, I heightened the yellow and green tones to bring out the fresh green leaves, which always look like jewels in Spring. I then overlaid a texture – a grainy image of a roughly whitewashed wall, opacity reduced to 20%.

tall trees

Another photograph taken with the Olympus OM2 film camera. This part of the woods reminds me of a cathedral – the tall trees mean the canopy is high above, the spaces between them, and the way the light can filter through as it does through stained glass windows.
