Beautiful Boxing Day light got me out of the house with my camera, to see what I could find locally. I had sort of decided that trees were what I would like to photograph, and I know that the deer park has some lovely parkland ones, plus woods around and about it also.

The deer were a bonus, and are fairly tame. Loitering around and being quiet, I soon had the entire herd around me, fairly close and unconcerned, so had chance to get the old house and deer on the same shot.

Great to be out, and also a good chance to play with the Google Nik plugins I have on Photoshop, to see what can be done with them, in this case in terms of b&w processing.
