Woodland Photo-Stories Chapter 2: The Woodlands by The Humber

The River Humber has a long and interesting history; the vikings navigated along it to gain access to the River Ouse, River Trent and River Foss and as they did farmed the great trees of England to build fortified settlements along the way.

This event is part of a series of four that RPS East Midlands is running in conjunction with the RPS TWT national project that aims to have over 30 walks aimed at inspiring members to photograph wooded environments.

Once booked you will be invited to a zoom talk by Paul Mitchell FRPS who will talk about his approach to woodland photography to give you some ideas about creating your own. How you decide to create your work is up to you though. At RPS East Midlands we do urge photographers to create small photography projects rather than single images.

Our day at Willingham Woods will begin at 10am with coffee at the Viking Cafe before heading off to explore Far Ings and its pathways through the trees. We will lunch at the cafe at Water’s Edge Country Park before more photography looking at how trees have been used to reclaim this once industrial land for recreational use.
