Sheffield Park And Garden, managed by the National Trust, is a wonderful landscape, famous for its lakes and vibrantly colourful foliage. The autumn colours were out in force on my visit, although the wind did unsettle the water, making it rather difficult to capture perfect reflections. The grounds really are a joy to walk around, and the people there were friendly and as enthusiastic about the colours as I was. There was also a waterfall connecting two of the lakes.As well as taking in the great views, I tried also to capture individual autumnal details, such as backlit leaves, berries and plant bulbs.I used four different lenses; the Nikkors 35mm F/2 AF-D, 50mm F/1.8G, 18-200mm VR and the Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8. All came in handy for various shots.I hope you like the photos below, and I hope they motivate you to make your own visit to this great park and garden.

For this shot of the waterfall, I used a 10-stop ND Grad filter on my Tokina to allow a slow enough shutter speed to slow the water down.
