    Week 2 – One color | 2026 Photo Challenge

    The theme: One color

    Hard way: 1hour time to shoot

    This week I’m in Wollaton Park Nottingham.

    The park is one of Nottingham’s most striking landscapes: a 500-acre historic deer park where nature, architecture, and stillness meet just a few miles from the city centre. At its heart sits Wollaton Hall, an iconic Elizabethan mansion perched above rolling grasslands and framed by tree-lined avenues, offering dramatic views across sweeping lawns and woodlands.

    See the YouTube video for this week:

    Here are a few shots taken for this week’s challange.

    Final Thoughts / Next Week Teaser:

    This week was a challange indeed. The English weather combined with day to day activities pushed my photochallange to the last day. But I had fun… real fun. I remembered some stuff from my childhood and traveled back in time when things were simpler. Did I managed to nail this week’s challnge? I guess so. What do you think?

    How to focus stack in Affinity Photo

    In this video, I explain and demonstrate how to use focus stacking to create a sharp image with a large depth of field. Focus stacking is a technique I use to combine multiple photos of the same scene, each with a different focus plane, to achieve an image that’s in focus from the front to the back.

    I explain that this technique is especially useful when the desired focus can’t be achieved with a single photograph, even when increasing the f-stop. In the video, I use Affinity Photo software to merge the images.
