On Saturday morning, which happened to be the coldest day of the year so far so much that we had 5 inches of snow on the afternoon, I decided it was the ideal day to go to Branston Water Park and take images for The National Forest/Photo-Canopy brief.
To be honest I think the weather was perfect for my idea for this brief, but not ideal physically for taking photos on 3 different cameras.
I took with me a Canon 35mm film camera with 200 iso colour film camera that I recently bought in a charity shop for £3, a Mamiya medium format camera with black and white 120 film, a light meter and also a digital SLR Cannon 1100D so I could get instant images and I could see what my work is going to look like instantly.
Despite the cold I took 16 images on my 35mm camera, leaving some exposures for another project I am planning! Used up my 120 film in my medium format camera (although I took 2 images at the washlands in Burton) and took 3 images I am happy with using my digital camera.
I really enjoyed taking these images at Branston, despite nearly getting frostbite, I think my idea for the Brief is quite interesting.
I have decided to show the beauty of the National Forest in the winter and how it's a shame that people don't use the forest very much throughout the winter, and then revisit places in Summer and show how well-used it is, but it's just as nice for a day out in winter as it is in summer.
