Lambley, Nottinghamshire - 10 February 2012 |
Like a lot of the country we've had the first of the Winter's snow over the past week or so. There was a fairly heavy snowfall on Friday 3rd February - and the weather has been cold enough for that fall to stay on the ground for most of the week in and around the village of Lambley, Nottinghamshire (where I live) - then a further light snowfall late in the afternoon on Thursday 9th and on into the evening.
As part of the film project I'm working on (which I will blog about in more detail later this week) I want to record the changes on the local landscape around the village over the period of time between January 1st and May 6th 2012, the date of Cowslip Sunday - see other posts, particularly:

That event is a celebration of the arrival of Spring - and I felt it would be interesting not only to record that occasion but also to show it in the context of the passing of time in a specific place.
A snowy landscape is an ideal representation of Winter - but of course in attempting to film (or photograph) such scenes there is the obvious danger of the images looking like second-rate xmas cards... a danger I'm not sure I've altogether successfully avoided. Another issue I am contending with is that budget restrictions (which I will also blog about some other time) mean I need to work with my own camera, and although that has HD video capacity I am finding that it struggles to capture 'wide-angle' landscape footage very well.
Anyway below are some more photographs taken during the past week.
