Over the years I have looked at many many photographs and one thing has puzzled more each time more than anything else – why is it important to know the F stop and shutter speed etc?   I suspect I am missing something important, not unknown, but I appreciate the image as an image and apply my own sense of what is aesthetically pleasing – not once  have I thought about the technical information of the image.  Actually as I wrote that I realised that that is not always true but beyond a few specialist images I think this is true.

Autumn has well and truly consumed the garden.
