Strange Perspective on Shadows
Trees and their shadows on farmland at Bickerton Hill in southern Cheshire, England. Normally cropped to a panoramic format rather than a square.
A look back at some of my personal favorite square photos from previous months of squares. Some were popular, some not so popular at the time.
This was a post in Perspective Squares Month and is my day 21 contribution to Becky’s October Squares on the theme of Past Squares.
My Throwback Thursday post this week is traveling back to south Cheshire in the early 1990s. The start of autumn colour on Bickerton Hill in southern Cheshire, England.
I was on one of the highest parts of the hill looking down on the trees below and isolating interesting sections of colour with a telephoto lens.
My Flora and Fauna Friday subject this week is the Eurasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus). The species is found across most of temperate Europe and Asia.
This individual was photographed emerging from a nest cavity in an apple tree at Faddiley near Nantwich in southern Cheshire, England. There is mistletoe growing on the apple tree above the entrance to the nest.

A Coneflower photographed with a fast portrait lens last summer. I spent part of the Covid-19 lockdown photographing flowers and plants with a variety of unusual lenses.
Foxgloves photographed with a long telephoto lens to isolate them from the background. A technique that I used quite often in the 1990s.
Daffodils with intentional camera movement. I started experimenting with ICM again in the winter and have continued this spring.
Snowdrops. A photo in a series showing the growth of the flowers. Published in a school textbook in the late 1980s.
