Fairy Landscapes

I spent a lot of time in Chamonix working on my macro photography as well as looking at the wider landscape, the opportunities were endless with forested mountain slopes that were carpeted in moss and interesting alpine plants. On one particular hike on the lower slopes I found mushrooms growing with the moss. The results of this photo shoot have an almost fairytale feel to them and i'm really happy with the colours and depth of field in these final images.

A New Beginning

Spring Moss - f/5.6 | 1/125 sec | ISO 400

I have decided to make a blog, now that I have finished my A level exams I finally have the time to do so! So here is where i'll post some of my favorite photographs and the stories they often tell. During the course of my gap year I will be travelling around New Zealand among other places so I am sure there will be many interesting photography adventures in the near future!

To begin my blog I have chosen this photo - moss has got to be one of the best things to photograph when your out with a macro lens - I like how the moss on this close up scale almost seems like a woodland in miniature!
