The Dip is a sunken stretch of lane south of Hatfield where low road level, overhanging trees and changing seasonal foliage create moody, intimate compositions. Shoot textured tree canopies, leading lines of the road, and atmospheric light at dawn or twilight. Easily reached on foot from Hatfield town center; street parking nearby. No entry fee. Best in autumn for colour or after light rain for reflections; avoid mid-day when contrast is harsh.
