I woke this morning feeling a little bit blue and I had intended to visit Epping Forest early. I had to push myself to get my kit and get out. When I arrived at the location I still wasn’t feeling it and lighting conditions were poor with bright sunshine making highlights harsh and shadows too black. I was about to give up when I decided to explore a part of the forest I hadn’t been in before and everything changed.
I found a curving meandering stream flowing through the woods and as the location was in a gully the lighting was a little better. I spent a couple of hours wandering around and hopefully I have managed to get something decent. Needless to say photography has again lifted my spirits and boosted my sense of wellbeing. Please enjoy and I’ll post some more images later.

Epping Forest Autumn Gold. I spent some time at Epping Forest today with my mate. The beautiful autumnal colours showing fantastically well despite the cloud cover. The oranges, yellows and green were literally vibrant and saturated . I hope to go back again tomorrow if the weather allows for some more before it all disappears for another year. Please enjoy.

Returned to Connaught Water, Epping Forest this week with my buddy Mark. It’s a grey cloudy day so I wasn’t expecting much but being out and about in nature was reward enough. What literally brightened our visit was seeing the Mandarins on a small lake island. The males are in full colour and posturing strutting about on the bank in front of the females. Pity the light was so poor but definitely worth another visit. Please enjoy.

I don’t often do social commentary on social media but something @adamkarnacz posted has prompted me to say something. PTSD and/or Anxiety & Depression can be debilitating and affects thousands out there. I am one such person but I am fortunate enough to recognise when I am being affected and I have people around me who also see the signs sometimes before I do. One thing that I found helps is my photography particularly my wildlife work which gets me out and about in nature. My photography journey began 20 years ago when pressure from work started adversely affecting my MH. I found photography took my mind off things and allowed me to do something positive and creative and over the years it has helped me deal with the issues. Thanks to Adam for highlighting this and to anyone suffering there is hope out there and help can be found in the most unlikely places. Stay safe and keep positive.
Connaught Water Autumn Gold. I spent some time at Connaught Water, Epping Forest yesterday with my mate. The weather was better than the day before with some bright spells that highlighted the beautiful autumnal colours showing atm. Please enjoy and have a great weekend.

Great image Adam. I have just been diagnosed as having PTSD following 30+ year Police Service (even though I am retired for 3 years). Until now I thought I was suffering some stress and anxiety but not really knowing why. It was identified after an assessment and counselling session by Talking Therapies but they now say I have to be referred for more specific treatment / counselling. Unfortunately I’ll have to wait several months before getting any assistance on the NHS but thankfully I have a good support system and photography keeps me sane.
Connaught Water Autumn Gold. I spent some time at Connaught Water, Epping Forest today with my mate. The weather wasn’t great but e had some bright spells that highlighted the beautiful autumnal colours showing atm. I was using my 100 - 500mm but I’m happy with the results. Might pop back again tomorrow with a landscape lens for more. In the meantime please enjoy.

A while back I spent some time in Ireland and I was given access to a woodland hide through a friend. I managed to photograph some nice woodland birds included this little Wren. I was happy as it came close enough for me to capture a decent image despite being in a pretty dark area meaning I was shooting at ridiculously high ISO.
Please enjoy and have a good week ... 👍🙏☘️👍🇮🇪

This image was captured on the night of the terrorist attack in London near Borough Market in 2017. Little did we realise at the time how close we were to the attack site and but for the dramatic lighting and clouds from an incoming storm we would have walked up to the market instead. Someone watched over us that night.
