10:00 I’m in Dinefwr Park in West Wales. It’s October: a perfect cold, bright autumn day with the low morning sun picking out the luminous autumn colours. I’ve no volunteering jobs to do and can devote the whole day to getting the shot I promised myself. The shot? This goes right back to the reason…
