In the dying days of December last year we went for a late walk in Hatfield Forest. There was a skim of ice on the lake and the sun was sinking. I had my Fuji on me and decided I would take a few 'arty' shots using intentional camera movement as well as some 'straight' ones. I hope you can tell the difference!

I can never resist a good tree and here are three taken locally and in Hatfield Forest which has a number of really ancient trees. For good measure I am throwing in a gate and bramble picture. The Hatfield Forest picture was taken using my new lens - the 16-35mm f4G Nikon zoom. It has Nikon's second generation vibration reduction system and I managed to hand hold down to 1/20th second and maintain sharpness (not always, it depends on how patient and steady I am!) I think this will be really useful on the NikonD800. Ancient tree in Hatfield Forest
