Budleigh Salterton - Devon

Dartmoor Pony - Postbridge - Dartmoor - Devon

Looks cute, doesn't she? I lay down in the frosty bog (not frozen) and was taking some photos of her as she came towards me. She came so close she licked my lens, ate my camera bag and I think still has some of my leg in her teeth. Vicious animal! The photo doesn't show it though!
I used a wide angle lens, with a polariser to saturate the blue of the sky and greens of the trees and a graduated filter to even out the bright sky and the foreground.

Broughton Castle - Oxfordshire

These photos were taken for the Broughton Castle website. I took this shot a few minutes after the panoramic. I used the two trees to frame the image.

Broughton Castle - Oxfordshire

A panoramic view of Broughton Castle just before sunset. A gap in the clouds gave a 2 minute window of late afternoon light, side-lighting the autumnal trees. The sun stayed for just enough time to get the photograph!

The 30 second exposure with a little help from the wind blurred the foliage of the trees, giving the photograph some movement.

I couldn't have hoped for better light.

Ladram Bay - Jurassic Coast - Devon

I waited for the sun to rise up over the hazy horizon. I was at right angles to the sun so I used a polariser to enhance the blues of the sky. A 1 second shutterspeed was needed to blur the receding waves.

I set up my camera on the slipway waiting for the sun to rise. The sun never appeared due to the overcast conditions. So I opted for a black and white shot, with a long exposure blurring the water lapping on the slipway.

Slipway into the Sunset - Guernsey

I was riding home on my scooter when I noticed this slipway disappearing into the crashing waves on the west coast of Guernsey. I used a 15 second exposure to achieve the blurred effect of the waves.
