Some evening light on the eastern edge of the moor

Each year the fact that the sun sets earlier while it is still summer takes me by surprise – I should have learnt by now.  Sunset is now around 20:30 with dusk about 21:00 so walking in the evening will require torches soon (& I’ll stop taking the camera).  With the light the way it was [...]

Reflections on reflections

This post does not relate to any specific photo shoot but to the fact that, from time to time, I realise I am paying as much attention to the reflections I see as the conventional view.  The one above brings a little summer to the winter weather.  As with some of the others it [...]

Some signs of Spring

While overall the countryside still looks rather faded and winter like a trip to Dartington Hall gardens yesterday showed that there are the start of signs of Spring.

 

In addition to the snowdrops (the scent was lovely) the shoots of a number of bulbs indicated that the next few weeks should have some colour in [...]

Varying Winter light

Out and about locally yesterday gave some differing and interesting light conditions. In the morning I was in Torbay wandering around on the coast.

The combination of the light and cloud over the Berry Head headland were very striking (and appealing). The light on a sea that was quite calm also looked good.

From a trip heading north in the frost and snow

This posting pre-dates the previous two in practice but I had not had a chance to work on the images I took until now.  Just after the new year (but before the big snow) I drove up through the country (M5/M6).  The previous night had seen some of the lowest temperatures.  Close to Worcester we stopped [...]

Trees in winter

Over the past few months the colours of Autumn on the trees have been very attractive and I have taken quite a lot of pictures of them.  Now winter is here (and for now the rain has stopped) I was looking at the trees now there are no leaves on.  There is a sense [...]

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 [...]

Some objet trouvé!

(Well I am doing a French course at present )

Hopefully I will not be here when this is published.  I should be walking on the  South West Coast path at the time.  I wanted to try a post that was automated as much as anything.  I hope there will be some interesting images from [...]
