St Martin, Shotesham

I wanted to take my daughter out for a walk today, after running a few errands with her in the car though, she had other plans, and decided to fall asleep.

I didn't want to disturb her, as it was quite windy out, and I was sure it would soon wake her. So instead, I took a drive around home, and went to a spot I had biked passed many years ago. At that point, the ruins of St Martin church, just outside the main village of Shotesham, was undiscoverable, mainly due to the fact it was covered in foliage.

As described on the billboard next to it, it had been cleaned up in 2012, revealing the beautiful remains. With Ava still asleep, I snuck out the car to take a few photographs. My battery ran out on my last shot (what an amateur!) so I need to go back someday, especially in different weather conditions, my creative brain was going crazy!

But here are a few I took today, and in case anyone wonders how I got the long exposures, these were taken with a tiffen 10 stop filter. Something I've not had a play with for a long while, so was good to give it another go.
