Autumn colour on Bickerton Hill in southern Cheshire, England. The hill is the southern end of a sandstone ridge sticking out of the Cheshire plain.
On a clear day you can see central Liverpool. The group of Silver Birch trees on top of the hill are on the site of an Iron Age hill fort known as Maiden Castle.
A photo from my archives, originally it was going to be a Throwback Thursday post. Instead it is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: Hillside.
One of my back to basics set-ups. A base model mirrorless camera and a small, mechanical, manual focus prime lens.
A set-up like this allows me to shoot digital the same way I used to shoot film, what I call getting back to basics. This takes me back to the film kit I used as a photography student all those years ago.
As the camera, lens and my custom sling strap are all black I thought a monochrome conversion would make a contribution to the Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge: Simply Black theme. I added some film grain when doing the monochrome conversion.
This is my very light hearted contribution to the Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge: Camera prompt.

This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge: Blue.
Four blue hour photos featuring the Government Dock in the village of Colpoy’s Bay on Colpoy’s Bay from this summer.
A small selection of photos from the Last Mountain Lake National Wildlife Area in Saskatchewan, Canada. The Last Mountain Lake Bird Sanctuary is within the National Wildlife Area.
The Last Mountain Lake Bird Sanctuary was the first migratory bird sanctuary established in North America.
It is a staging area for migratory birds. In the autumn there can be hundreds of thousands of Snow Geese and tens of thousands of Sandhill Cranes using the area.
This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: Sanctuary prompt.

This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: The View prompt.
Some views around the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario from this summer. All taken with my back to basics kit of a small mirrorless camera and small set of manual focus prime lenses.
A portrait of two Orange Daylilies in front of a large limestone boulder.
I thought the background was different and used negative space to emphasize it. Another test of the TTArtisan 50mm f/1.2 lens for photographing flowers and plants.
This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge: Orange.
