I\u2019ve taken quite a few photographs using impressionist techniques in the forest of Blackford Hill. Since I now have quite a good grasp of the kind of forest subjects that make for interesting pans or multiple exposures, it was time to see what other locations have to offer in that department.<\/p>\n
