Well, I didn't see that coming!

I announced three new photo walks for November today, and you lot are wonderfully keen, as two are already sold out and one has one space remaining. Thank you so much!

If you wanted to come along, please let me know which walk you'd like to see an additional date for:

- 36-shot challenge at
- Reflections theme at
- in Cambridge

If there's enough interest, I'll see if I can add another date.

Thank you all. Going to go and do my little happy dance now ☺️

In a week's time, I'll be heading to the Forest of Dean for my second residential photo walk. Can't believe it's come round so quickly!

My group is in for a treat, as the area is filled with so many beautiful sights. We'll be heading to places like Puzzlewood, Raglan Castle and Hopewell Colliery and I can't wait to be their guide, pointing out photo opportunities, assisting with camera techniques and giving them the opportunity to spend some quality time with their cameras.

I'll hopefully be doing it all again next May, so watch this space if you'd like to join me.

Today's photo walk at Henstead Exotic Garden was all about the light. So beautiful. Especially the shadows that came and went so fleetingly, and the softness of ferns against moss. We were so lucky to have the garden to ourselves to explore every nook and cranny.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined me, I hope you came away with some shots you're proud of. And thank you to Andrew, who welcomes us into his garden every year. It's such a joy.

Ahh, it's that time of year again. Tomorrow, we get to return to one of our old favourites, Henstead Exotic Garden. And this means I can roll out my video again.

For those who've not seen this, it was filmed about eight years ago by Jordan, the talented son of a friend of mine, and I feel like it perfectly sums up the feeling of a photo walk - relaxed, plenty of smiles, nooks and crannies to discover, beautiful light and the most wonderful hidden gem of a venue.

Discover unique locations and spend a day dedicated to your camera,...

A recce at the wonderful ahead of our photo walk on Friday. Can't wait to share the space with you all.

A little bit of catching up to do here.

It's been a busy but wonderful August - thank you to all my photo walkers who have joined me and helped make each walk so fun and relaxed.

This week and last took us to the unique Winstanley Cat Pottery in North Walsham. A quirky mix of pottery and railway memorabilia, years and years of layers of clay, and so many unique photo opportunities. Huge thanks to Nick and Kim for allowing us to roam with our cameras whilst they carried on potting.

And yesterday evening, we explored the beautiful , one of my series of seasonal slow photography sessions. We lucked out with the weather again, arriving after the storm which gave us some very welcome moisture and squelchy ground underfoot. The air felt fresh, the light was beautiful and we spent a wonderful couple of hours slowing down and really noticing small details in nature before gathering for a cuppa as the light faded. Thank you to Anna for giving us this opportunity at the meadow too.

Lots of walks coming up including a new batch being announced for November very soon. If you'd like to be amongst the first to hear, you're welcome to sign up to my mailing list, linked from my website - www.lucykayne.co.uk

I hope you can join me with your camera soon.

Happy World Photography Day!

I've been umming and ahhing about how to mark today. I wasn't really keen on anything too generic, such as asking you to share your favourite photo or what you've been capturing this week.

So instead, how about your photographic guilty pleasure?

The thing you always photograph. The thing that catches your eye every single time, even though you've photographed it a thousand times before. You know there are probably already dozens of versions sitting on your hard drive, but somehow you still can't walk past it.

You all obviously know that mine is chair shadows. I don't know what it is about them. The fact they're so fleeting, the shapes, the light, how they bring even more personality to the chair. They're rather addictive!

I'd love to hear yours.

Tell me below. Photo is optional, but very welcome.

And I'm quite curious to see how many of us have the same photographic obsessions!

A day of spirals and lines in London. If you get a chance to visit and the , the Barbara Hepworth exhibition is beautiful. As are the staircases. Think I might love staircases as much as I love chairs!

The designermakers21 summer expo exhibition is now open and I'm delighted to have a piece on display!

It's a wonderful exhibition, with a huge variety of work featured and beautifully curated. I feel very proud to be exhibiting alongside these very talented local artists.

If you're in Diss or nearby, do pop along, it's open Thursday-Saturday throughout August.
