Depicting spring - thoughts on post processing
Hello and welcome to Inspired, a weekly email for my paid subscribers. In this series I want to explore topics which I hope might spark some inspiration for your own photography. I will talk about my thought process for creating images, both in the field and in post processing. The posts will be linked in some way to the monthly challenges, hopefully giving you all lots of food for thought.
This week I have been in search of spring in an area of meadowland in north Suffolk. Winks Meadow is owned by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust and is the only fragment of herb rich meadow to survive in this area. It is a small site but full of flowers and is a lovely place to explore and photograph.
When I arrived I found a mix of flowers to point my camera at, but the most interesting were the green winged orchids which grew in abundance across the site along side cowslips and buttercups. In this post I wanted to discuss my approach to photographing the flowers and my subsequent post processing choices to create a series of soft, dreamy images. For all the shots I used a 100-400mm lens and processed my images in Lightroom.
