Autumn & Orton
A landscape photography blog by Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire based landscape photographer Rob Thorley Photography.
Today was a trip out to Cannock Chase, Staffordshire to try and capture some of the Autumn colours that were on display.
Although quite local, Cannock Chase isn’t a location that I’m too familiar with, something I definitely plan to address. I opted to park up at Birches Valley, which is probably one of the busier areas, but the one I was most familiar with. I wandered off into the woods, and to be honest I didn’t have to wander far. These images were all taken with a few hundred yards of the main car park..
Once back at home, and inspired by watching a vlog on YouTube I attempted to edit the pictures I’d captured using the “Orton Effect”. I’m quite pleased with the end result.
Without sounding like “I want. I want I want . . . “, a little bit fog would have been the icing on the cake, but it wasn’t to be this time. Hopefully next year, as I’m definitely going back in Autumn 2020.
