A notebook of quiet places
Light at the edge
of the water.
Notes from slow walks, small cameras and mornings that are worth getting up for.

Waiting for the mist to lift
The lake was almost the same colour as the sky. I walked past the old landing stage and waited by the reeds. A little sunlight arrived for perhaps two minutes, just enough to make a silver line across the water.
I am learning to leave more room in the frame. Some mornings the empty space is the best part.

One lens, a longer walk
I left the spare lenses at home this weekend. With less to carry, I followed a path I usually pass by. The pictures were simple: a wooden gate, leaves on a wet stone, the reflection of a bare branch.
A reminder to look before reaching for the camera.
