Three recent images, each made possible by position rather than settings.

A layered turkey tail cluster catching soft winter light on a fallen log. Quiet textures, calm colours, and a nice reminder of how sculptural woodland fungi can be.

Sometimes the simplest subjects ask the most of your eye. This fence caught the late-day sun in a way that turned its surface into a study of shadow and texture, a reminder that stillness is often where light does its best work.
