So for our first date he suggested a walk to shoot some landscapes.&nbsp; The plan was Derby but as heavy fog had set in and the general atmosphere was rather grey we decided it could end up being a waste&nbsp;if we spent all that time travelling for nothing but dull grey weather.&nbsp; So the more local Bradgate Park became the destination of choice.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-PjokDw-yiWE\/UOQjB3bGImI\/AAAAAAAABeY\/bbX2phVwx2g\/s1600\/1212-4312_HDR+1000px.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;

By the time we arrived the fog had lifting leaving stunningly beautiful frost everywhere.&nbsp; We even had glimpses of blue sky initially, all renewing my love of landscape photography, something I&#8217;ve not taken much notice&nbsp;of in years. <\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;
