A few weeks ago we visited the National Trust property of Shugborough when the crocuses were showing in the walled garden. I took a few photos of them as the colours were just outstanding. There is also an impressive copper beech tree that I took to show (later) as a comparison between the leafless winter and the autumn golden colours.
First, I will show an image dump of the photos I took – this is an ‘out of the camera’ set before any selection and processing. Note that there are 3 versions of each – I use exposure bracketing as standard:
Next I show a selection of the photos that I have processed
This final view shows the context of the flower bed between the wall of the walled garden and the lawn in front of it
