I have been struggling with self-doubt and motivation recently as far as photography is concerned - I felt like I had run out of ideas - so I decided to go back to my first real passion, nature.
An early morning in the woods, just wandering and looking and feeling, with no plan or ideas or projects cluttering my mind, helped immensely.
My eyes quickly adjusted to seeing light and shadow, colour, texture, pattern, so that's what I focused on.

Tiny early morning dew drops form jewel-like patterns on the delicate silk threads of a spider's sheet web, while fallen leaves and grasses create a colourful patchwork of pit-of-focus colour in the background.

A cluster of sycamore seed pods, dried out and fading, hang from a fallen branch in dense undergrowth but are picked out by early morning light finding its way through the canopy. The blurred background is a mosaic of rich, earthy tones caused by fallen leaves and grasses.

Yellowing field maple leaves herald the end of summer and the start of autumn, photographed from inside the woodland edge looking out towards bright early morning sunlight, so the layers of leaves cast dark shadows onto each other in an eye-catching pattern of light and dark.

Ripples in a shallow stream create a mesmerising pattern as the water runs over rocks and ridges below its surface, while the blue sky and green bankside trees are reflected across the surface.
