Camera sharing in a frozen meadow
Normally my photographic walks around the woods are something of a solo mission – I might have the baby on my back, but she’s mostly just a passenger for the adventure (although she still bosses me around.) So it was fun today to head down to the meadow with Sarah and our morning coffee, early […]

Snowed in at Badgers Wood
This morning we woke up to this…. I was straight out into the garden, before Sarah or the kids were up. The snow was still coming down, with the sun struggling to break through. But the rest of the day was just sublime. Blue sky, bright sunshine, and a deep mantle of white. What a […]

The Glorious Colours of Fuji-Film
I’ve long had a love of Fuji-Film colours. My wedding photos were taken using Fuji Velvia slide film by a friend who, thankfully, was way more adept at shooting with film than me. Much as I like the idea of shooting with film, I love the immediacy of shooting with digital cameras. It’s faster, cheaper, […]

Grey Day Photography

Snow-schooling and winter sunlight
Only yesterday I was saying how it hardly ever snows here at Badgers Wood…. So when it does snow, you’ve got to make the most of it. Home schooling had to wait… February is always considered to be the hardest month of the year, and in the past I have struggled with living so far […]

Frost Hunting in the Woods
It rarely seem to snow at Badgers Wood – in Moray we are in the rain shadow of two mountain ranges, so rainfall is surprisingly low – and we usually have to head inland and uphill to find snow to play in. But on a sunny, icy day like today, the frost seems to add […]

Harvest
This has probably been the best year we’ve ever had as a family in terms of both wild food foraging and food growing. We’d been slowly increasing the range of foods we could gather and grow, but the lock-down prompted a strong desire – really a need – to feel like we we’re not wholly […]

Misty dawn at Badger’s Wood
The light at this time of year is just stunning. It’s not just the Autumn colours – as the sun’s course through the sky gets lower, it casts a softer, more diffuse light through the woodland. And the later dawn means that I am more often awake to catch moments like this with my camera….
