Sherwood Forest
Sherwood Forest is steeped in history and rich with folklore, a magical place. I walked for a while, seeking a viewpoint that would provide some separation from the nearest trees, without any immediate foreground distractions. Compositions like this, captured from a position within the actual scene being photographed are more immersive for the viewer, but of all the environments familiar to landscape photographers, woodland is perhaps the most compositionally challenging. The chaos of criss-cross branches, imposing verticals, opposing diagonals and bright distracting areas of unwanted sky all offer significant difficulties; but perhaps the most challenging aspect of all is the struggle to find a viewpoint without detritus obscuring an otherwise perfect scene.
