I went to take 'nature' photography on Saturday, in the grounds of.. Well, it used to be a hall, now it's kinda of a maintained mess with a craft building. The grounds are pretty huge, and there are some old plantations.

Anyway, I'll post that stuff up when I get home. But there's one shot that amused me, and I have with me at work.
As we were leaving the area, I climbed down into a dismantled railway line, to look at the poles. (Some pretty amazing trees, barrel rings and brickwork). I climbed back out via a bankment, and found an abandoned tea-party..  



There was also a decimated table, and some sign-posts. Maybe the result of fly-tipping, but they had been set-up for dinner.
"We" took pity on the chair, and took it home with us, as it matches our house-chairs (It's large, though it looks kid-sized in the photo). Climbed all the way back up, and down the road with a heavy water-sodden bleedin chair. It's recovering in the kitchen.  :roll:

Cool to find a chair there that matches your own!   Wow those leaves around it look prickly.... they remind me of holly leaves.

Looking forward to more pictures Wolfus!

I was waiting until the rest went up before I started to be bad... But I would advise that you remove the prickley leaves before sitting down, or you would have a literal pain in the ass!

Those leaves are prickly. We have holly trees here too, but the leaves seems smaller than those in the above picture. Most likely a different variety.

it is indeed a Holly Bush

heheh, the single chair theme is clearly contagious! nice chair it is though!

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I kinda identify with the "lonely chair" shots...  Maybe there's a little bit of a lonely chair in all of us?

[Wolfus]

Yeah, I thought of the chair-fans around here when I was sorting the photos this afternoon. =P

I have a small confession; that chair shot was re-staged. I spotted where I'd need to stand, to take a few pictures of it unscathed, (yeah, those are regular old holly bushes, gone wild with the endless space. Mainly at eye-height) when one of my cohorts bounces over, grabs the chair, and started trying to swing it around.
"D'aah. Put it BACK."
"What? Why?"
"..!?!.. Just put it back."
"You put it back, I don't know where it was."
Iunno whether I should start announcing what I'm going to photograph before each shot, or live with the fact the people I take with me are silly.

Whilst I continue sorting my shots, I give you the chair's sad companion.

I don't see anything wrong with "staging" your shots... I'm pretty sure that Motts does this too sometimes.  Sometimes you just need to move something a little bit to capture the light right, or to get certain elements in, or because something is in your way...

Awww, poor chair!

[Tony C.]

It's not just lonely...it's dismebered! (sp?)
 :cry:

Hmm. I guess I really hate touching things. I'm yet to learn the line between contrivance and simple rearranging. At the moment I find it unsettling if I have a hand in what goes on.

Nowhere near Bolton.  :roll:

I don't like moving anything that has been outside, but I have had to move leaves and twigs out of my way. I have also 'repostioned' some things to get them away from unwanted shadows.
