I love having the convenience of local photography so that I can pop out for a quick shoot at short notice. I've spent a long time searching for small and quiet nearby locations where the photography is usually challenging but ultimately rewarding. In this episode I go for a walk to a new spot only 5 minutes from my own front door. It was a huge surprise to find this lush green area so close to home and I'm sure that in time it will start to produce some very nice images. I restricted myself to a 55mm prime lens as I had no plans of capturing portfolio level work - it was about enjoyment, relaxation and slowing the process down in order encourage greater consideration for composition and familiarisation with the new location.
