'Old Souls'

Rainy days are some of my most productive days in the woods.

But how do I keep my gear dry? I don’t bother with rain covers - they generally don’t work and get in the way. Instead, I made an umbrella clamp that attaches to my tripod, allowing me to use both hands while keeping the camera dry.

There is a version of this scene in my 2024 calendar, from slightly later into autumn. Link ⤵️

When one veteran oak tree becomes a bit of an obsession.

Here are four of the many photographs I've made of this tree in the last year.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 6.

Photoshop CS2, 2014. Another early one, of a place on the Isle of Man called Druidale. It's a special place to me, and very beautiful. Based on my own photos of my first trip there in 2007.

I can't decide if I like the black and white or the color edit of this chaotic tree. I'd love to hear what you think.

Today’s #wip (work in progress) is a watercolour using a restricted palette of colours. I will post the palette below/later. It is a woodland scene. I hear you groan oh not again Chloe. #woodland #art #painting #watercolour

A dusting of snow. Some Gambel oak branches with only a few autumn leaves remaining. And some diffused morning light. These are a few of my favorite things.

Despite being known as the ‘Emerald Isle’, Ireland has one of the lowest rates of forest coverage in the EU, leading to concerted efforts from the government to encourage more tree planting and reclaim lost ground.

Six thousand years ago, 80% of Ireland was covered in forest, a figure that shrunk to just 1% by the end of the 19th century.

Now, Ireland works to restore decimated woodlands.

Embers

This is a scene I first discovered earlier in the year - it'll be interesting to see whether it works in winter, without all of the foliage, but I love this version too with the beautiful autumn colours.

I braved the showers and took #LoriTheRomi and #BeanTheRomi out for their semi-regular walk around #Parke.
The autumn colours are still lovely, but the light wasn't quite up to decent photos. This one will do as a souvenir though.

November 27 2023 #drone shot at 100meter of the #shelter part of our #danish #woodland.

Taken at midday with a cloudy overcast. It snowed a bit in #denmark last night.

Only two days since the last #photo but as #nature looks so different with a bit of snow I figured it's worth breaking the rhythm.

A dark green, black and white composition. Straight down showing a sharp line between the white circle (low grass = gets covered in snow easily) and the surrounding areas with trees. Same mechanism makes the paths visible

Lost? Now, where did I put it> Behind those trees? Under those fallen leaves? Oh - *there* it is. Pretty as a picture. The kind of cottage, hidden in the depths of a wood, where I might have aspired to retire to, if I hadn't already retired to a council flat.

Taken at midday with a low sun, thus shadows. It's +1 degree C.

It's been six weeks since the last shot. Having a newborn 👶 eats time 🙂

From above. Visible in green are coniferous trees and grassy areas. Deciduous trees lost their greenery. Nice long shadows from the bright low hanging sun

Autumn woodland scene, patches of sunlight light the forest floor among a dense patch of trees of various types. Browns and greens dominate.

A large bare dead tree stands in front of its living successors. A thick carpet of brown autumn ferns forms the floor of the scene.

Wandering into the mist

Moving out of a dark place, into the light. It about sums up me right now.

I injured my back a couple of weeks ago, and it has prevented me from working since. It's difficult because I can't anticipate whether my back will be capable of handling work until the morning of my appointments, making it challenging to plan ahead. And I dislike causing inconvenience to others.

We were lucky enough to be traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway when an unexpected, early snow came. We pulled into the parking lot next to the Craggy Gardens trail, donned some cold weather gear and struck out on the trail.

We were lucky enough to be traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway when an unexpected, early snow came. We pulled into the parking lot next to the Craggy Gardens trail, donned some cold weather gear and struck out on the trail. It was a magical sight. Trees dusted with white snow, the green of the ground cover peeking through the cold, wet powder. The trail snaking through the leaf bare trees.

Amazing work from the volunteers this weekend in High Wood, Liskeard.

We’ve knocked down many hundreds of conifers, saving hundreds of native trees from being shaded out, and fully opening up this compartment for natural regeneration. 🙌🏻

#Cornwall #Rewilding #Woodland #Biodiversity

9 very tired but happy volunteers stood in front of a woodland compartment of young conifers that have all been cut down.

I've been working on my 2024 calendar for a few months now, but I wasn't happy with the first two rounds of proofs. The colourists at my supplier have worked their magic, & I'm really happy with the results.

They are set to land at the end of this month, so I am running pre-orders til 11:59 UK time on the 30th. I will include two greeting cards for free with each purchase.

It ships worldwide - more here: https://www.tsmalley.photo/calendars/p/2024-calendar

The Moment

That moment when the sun breaks through the mist, right before it clears. It was no more than a few seconds before all the mist had dissipated.

Autumn Blues

This image was made about a week ago in Epping Forest, right at the end of the day. It was practically dark, with just the last of the light peaking through to light the trunk of this beautiful ancient beech pollard. It's an absolutely huge tree, measuring a good 5-6m around its belly.

To give an idea of how dark it was, I shot the image at 8s, f/8 @ ISO3200.

Here is a picture for #ThickTrunkTuesday, taken in the Forest of Dean. Once a royal hunting forest, the Forest was designated the first National Forest Park in the UK in 1938.
The Forest has a fine sculpture trail, although you'll be hard put to spot the sculpture in this picture.

Glowing on the dancefloor

One of those magical mornings earlier this month, where the rising sun turns the cool lake with a thin layer of mist into a smoke machine. It got to the point where there was so much mist that I couldn't see the trees any more! ❤️

#trees #woodland #forest #nature #photography #landscapephotography #mastoart #treesofmastodon #autumn #friday

Two mature oak trees appear to be dancing in the mist as the sun rises to warm the mist above the trees, while the mist on the surface of the lake is still in shadow, so has a cool blue tone.

On the turn

A #throwback to autumn last year. There are pockets of colour, particularly at slightly higher or more exposed locations, but autumn is pretty late thus far. Here's hoping the leaves don't all drop before they change colour!

Two giant ancient oak trees in their autumn colours on a muggy morning.

The tree in the background is a good 700 years old and may be up to 1000 years old. I'm not sure how old the tree in the foreground is, but it won't be much younger.
