It’s a sun-kissed, warm Spring afternoon in Holland Park, west London. I’m ambling about to get some fresh air and armed with my camera.
This is nothing more than a brief snapshot of that walk in the park. I spotted many other people enjoying the end of a long, cold winter. A lush carpet of ivy. The budding trees and a pile of wood. Even a simple wooden fence looked radiant in the fine weather.
I tried a mixture of high key shots and some with the exposure compensation dialled far back for a contrast of mood. When the light is abundant, there is so much you can do.

I like the way you combined different approaches (black and white, close ups) to record the walk. My favourite is the Sunbaked green image.

Thank you Lena. Yes, green fence is quite bleached and high key – another abstract, perhaps!

I really like the one labeled Beneath Spring, because of the unusual pale colors and light…the leaves on the trees look almost golden….and I like the perspective..as for the black and white ones, I just can’t associate them with warm Spring afternoon…just can’t!….

Thank you Igor. Yes, those trees were just coming out in leaf and really caught my eye. The speckles of sunlight on Park Woodpile make me feel warm!
