I am taking time to reflect.

I have been signing calendars for several days now and I really needed to get a bit out of the office.
Nowhere is better for relaxing than the forest so I decided to take a short trip with my camera and a flask of coffee to do some landscape photography.
I just had Nigel Danson here for some days to do wildlife photography and actually I got really inspired to do a bit more landscape photography, which I haven’t done so much lately.

    Woodscapes. The animals give you a target to focus on and you choose, where possible your landscape and framing based on that. Landscapes force you to look for patterns, leading lines, perspectives, angles. If you are able to "see" photographically, you can walk through a landscape and see the photographs even from a point where you are not yet as you rotate your view of the landscape in your brain (sort of).
