Anyone who reads my lens reviews will be familiar with Arley Hall as it is one of my "go to" places for the sample shots. It has everything - architecture, landscape, flowers and plants, bokeh shots, flare and CA shots....and it's also a challenge to try and find new things amongst the familiar. There's always a danger that if we walk around the same direction, look at the same things from the same angles and just fall into a routine that we simply shoot the same subjects in the same way every time. But who hasn't been on a long walk, and then realised that if we stop and turn around the world suddenly takes on a brand new look? So, yes, some shots remain usefully the same, but some new angles are always good. Apart from anything elses, sometimes we keep looking at things and not seeing them, until suddenly we do see them for the first time. It's useful to see Sue's pictures as well, and sometimes I stop and ask "Where did you see that?" because I was stood there as well but didn't.
So, in Lockdown as we are, we miss our trips to Arley Hall and here's a reminder. If you like it a whole bunch then more views are also available in episodes of Peaky Blinders!
