Autumn colours at Dartington Hall

I’d been looking at getting out to try and catch some real Autumn colours for a while. I was wondering about Westonbirt Arboretum. I have been there before but it is quite a trek for me. Equally it was apparent from comments on the photography course that, at times, the photographers there outnumbered [...]

The effects of the sea

The photography course that I am doing is extremely rewarding and without it the images for this photo shoot would be quite different.  I now look at things with a somewhat different eye.  Someone has suggested I am getting a ‘house style’ but I haven’t spotted it for myself yet!

High tide and rain

I was down on the river Dart in Totnes yesterday morning with the camera.  It was a particularly high tide combined with the result of heavy rain on Dartmoor recently.  This meant that the water level was as high as I’ve seen it in a while.

Back from a break

A walk along the coast path

It looked like the day was going to be quite good so we decided to take a fairly short walk along the local part of the South West Coast Path.

I did learn to check the iso settings on the camera from time to time – I’d inadvertently taken some at 800 iso – [...]

Around Hound Tor on Dartmoor

Hound Tor

Well I guess everyone has to have a “first” blog sometime & this one is mine.

The forecast for Thursday (8th) was good so I headed for the moors in the afternoon to catch some sunshine & photos.  As the weather was good it was no surprise that [...]
