Скачать или смотреть Landscape Photography | Woodlands in the Mist | Nikon D5300

This week’s landscape photography adventure sees me take the Nikon D5300 to Haigh Woodland Park for some opportune woodland photography on an ethereal morning with the trees shrouded in mist.

Having checked the weather forecast in the days prior, it appeared to be showing a high propensity for mist and an opportunity for a photography trip out in the woodlands.

The forecast didn’t disappoint and I enjoyed a lovely wander capturing a few images along the way.

On my wander I also have a chat about the photographer’s eye for detail and how we take in our surroundings, noticing the smallest of specific aspects and elements around us when scouting locations and photographing the landscape.

Haigh Woodland Park

Haigh Woodland Park is famous in Wigan and further afield for its impressive grounds and woodlands.
The name Haigh comes from the Anglo Saxon word Haga meaning an enclosure or a secure area to house livestock.

The plantations were laid out in the 1860s to hide the condition of the landscape after being damaged by the mining activity. This provided work for Wiganers made unemployed by the cotton famine caused by the American Civil War. The estate was transferred to Wigan Council, known then as the Wigan Corporation, in 1947.

The extensive plantations consist primarily of beech trees with a proportion of oak, horse chestnut, sycamore, ash and lime and Scots pine. As you walk along the forty miles of paths, you will find a variety of woodland plants such as wood anemone and lesser celandine, and fungi including fly agaric and puff balls. The woodland provides an ideal habitat for species of birds, mammals, amphibians and insects.
