It's a Small World

12 May 2021 4:21PM   Views : 528 Unique : 353

Of course it depends compared to what, but the context today is making images in a small area and finding inspiration anywhere and everywhere. We don't need a huge area to shoot pictures, and to test out this theory I walked around the moat at Damhouse, an area which is no more than 200 metres long and 50 metres wide. The camera was my ubiquitous Pentax MX-1 compact. This small area actually has much more potential in wildlife, fungus, insects and so on, but for this experiment it was just a stroll once around.

Let's have a look at the results:
