Morning Dog Walker

Looking out from the kitchen window before dawn and the mist was rolling in.  Time to head out to catch some autumn colour.  It was only as I walked out of the front door and smelt the faint acrid odour of burning that I realised this was partly due to yesterday's activities around bonfire night.

Still I headed up to the Chase and found that the mist was hanging thickly around most of the area.  I had to wait for almost an hour and a quarter after sunrise for the sun to break through and illuminate this area.  Good light is so important to an atmospheric photograph.  I had been playing with different compositions but the scene only came alive with sunlight and the opportune introduction of human (and canine) interest.

I also had a play with another multiple exposure of this tree trunk (in extras), surrounded by autumn leaf colour.

Later we had a visit from my cousin for a Sunday dinner and catch up.  She has only recently recovered from Covid, thankfully just in time for a cruise around the Caribbean and USA.
