While I like to walk in the woods during Summer I don’t particularly like taking pictures. Woodland photography is difficult for me at the best of times: it’s too busy and difficult to isolate subjects without a mess all around them. Also during Summer the foliage is unrelievedly green and lacking in variety. Add to that I’m lazy and find it difficult to get up early in the morning when the light is probably at its best. Rather I manage to get out around noon when it’s arguably at its worst.

On the particular day, however I managed to get up early (actually before sun rise) and get into the woods.

I really does make a huge difference.
