I had a wander each evening to watch the sky blaze a trail into the dusk. This is over the SSSI (archaeological, Medieval moated farmstead... a real special area of this lovely wood)

Sunday morning dawned fine and cloudless.

I love Sundays- copious coffee, the smell of breakfasts and a leisurely pack-up with lots of milling around and chat breaks :)

You're a fine bunch of folk and I feel real privileged to spend time in the woods with you all, thank you Steve and all the other attendees who make it such a special time and place :)

I'll tag my photos on your thread Sal, if you don't mind:)

I arrived early doors Saturday morning and had a play with my new camera. I haven't had chance to read any instructions yet! And that your Honour is the case for my defense.

I love the light at this time of day.

I have some others but they are similar to what other peeps have posted so I'll leave it at that.

I had a great time again and picked up some serious bargains at the sale.

Yes - obviously a great meet - is it my imagination or is there just so much more going on in the Midlands than other parts of the country?

Bodge, they're brilliant! You've really captured the sky and woodlands beautifully :) You've got a natural eye for it! The colours starting to come through in the south end shots has come out fabulously and the work party shots are great, having the bill hook in the foreground is a great bit of composition ;)

I think you're right, Chris, unless its that we Midlanders are avid picture takers and info sharers whereas others go out stealth stylee ;)
