Introduction

I have started a new and exciting project at the RSPB Budby South Forest Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire, gathering images and footage to promote the reserve. Budby South Forest is one of my favorite reserves in Nottinghamshire that stands next to the legendary Sherwood Forest. Where the legend Robin Hood once roamed and battled with him merry men.

Went back to Budby South Forest for hopefully an amazing sunrise. Got up at 5am to get there around 6.50am (Sunrise being 7.23am). From my previous visits I have found a nice view (shown by star) looking over the reserve to get a nice timelapse of the sun rising. This meant walking down a long road to get to location and was a bit of a race to get their before the sun rouse.


I did a bit of a timelapse test below which shows how many planes flight over this area. The sun rise wasn't as good as I would have liked and didn't have any clouds so the timelapse looks a little still. I will have to have a longer timelapse with a bigger time intervals between shots. The one below was set on 2 min intervals so might go up to 5 - 8 min intervals.

As well as doing a bit of timelapse I did also take some photos to add to my collection shown below:
