    Clumber Park Landscapes

    Here are a few landscape images I took on a family stroll around Clumber Park a couple of weekends ago. I won’t get all pretentious and say how amazing the light was, in truth the light was a bit weird really. When we first arrived there was white cloud and low lying fine mist that meant colours looked naturally muted and trees across the lake were merely faint outlines. Within a few moments the sun became stronger, breaking through thinner spots in the white cloud, burning through the mist and putting a spotlight on a few trees before disappearing again. As it did this I took a few images on my Canon Powershot S95. As I reviewed them on the back of the camera I felt a little disappointed as they didn’t seem to do justice to what I was seeing. This morning I have done a little post production in Lightroom to get closer to what I remembered seeing that Sunday morning and I have also tried a couple of black and white conversions to see how the faded trees across the lake would look. I also dialled down the exposure for a couple fo shots for a slightly different look. Here are a few of my favourites:

    Katie and Georg’s Wedding, St Johns College, Cambridge & Longstowe Hall, Cambridgeshire

    A stunning September morning and we travelled to Cambridge for Katie & Georg’s wedding. They met when at St Johns College and as alumni were allowed the opportunity to hold their wedding ceremony at the stunning chapel there. Both Katie and Georg got ready at Hotel du Vin and the boys enjoyed a walk though town to get to the chapel, whilst Katie travelled in a beautiful classic car. The ceremony was stunning, in a beautiful venue and incredible sounds from the choir and Tenor.

    After the ceremony we took a short drive into the Cambridgeshire countryside to Longstowe Hall, a beautiful country house. The guests enjoyed drinks on the lawn before photos and we had a brief portrait session with Katie & Georg, after which they headed in for the wedding breakfast and speeches. The speeches were particularly memorable but Georg stole the show with a speech that left the girls with a tear in their eyes and the boys wishing they had written it! Congratulations Katie & Georg!
