The road to Widecombe-in-the-Moor, Haytor, Dartmoor in Devon. Another darker and moodier composition... can't resist talking them as the winter landscape of the Westcountry really lends itself to these images. I actually prefer to take landscapes in winter rather than summer.. the air is clearer!
This is a triple exposure dynamic range increased (DRI) image, it is required as the bright sun will over-power the foreground in a single high F exposure, better to have a range and then take the bits we need. A steady hand is required... my camera is now having some expensive repairs to lens and body as it was not functioning at 100%. Back with new stuff soonish.
Definitely View On Bleak!

The curious cows come to see what is lurking with the wide-angle lens in their field. They all jumped out of their skins everytime I stood up. This is Apple Tree Cottage in the background, taken for the Ashcombe Country Cottages website.
