A Slightly Random Collection of Photos from Devon
Here and There
I try to get out with my camera as much as possible. More often than not I go out with purpose. What I mean by that is that I’m hoping to capture a specific image or create a video. Sometimes though I just go out because I want to. I just go for a wander, with my camera, to see what I can see.
Normally these wonderings do end up forming the basis of a blog post as there is a story to tell about that photography adventure. Now and again, I come away with nothing much more than a photograph. Without a story to share on a blog post or video to produce, these photographs are processed but are then left in Lightroom.
This to me seems a real shame. If I’ve gone to the effort of capturing a photograph, and then processed it, why not share it with the world. In this blog post, I’m going to share with you a few of those orphaned images that I’ve found in my Lightroom catalogue recently.
Higher Tor
I captured this image of Higher Tor after originally photographing the location for a project that I’m working on. Despite Higher Tor just being a short distance away from Belstone Tor (a location I photograph a lot), I’d never made the effort to photograph until recently.
Higher Tor, Dartmoor - Nikon Z7, Nikkor 14-30mm f/4 at 17mm, f/11, 0.6 sec at ISO 64.
Bowerman’s Nose
Bowerman’s Nose needs no introduction being one of Dartmoor’s most unique tors. When I captured this photograph, I was out for a dog walk. I had my Nikon Z fc and kit lens, but the light was too good not to try and capture an image.
Bowerman’s Nose, Dartmoor - Nikon Z fc, Nikkor 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR at 16mm, f/8, 1/80 sec at ISO 100.
Dawlish Warren
I have photographed Dawlish Warren more times than I can remember, but it can still throw something unique at you. On this occasion it was fog. Something in all my years visiting Dawlish Warren beach I’d never seen before. I completely changed the feeling of the place, and I was able to capture some unique images of the beach.
Dawlish Warren, Devon - Nikon Z7, Nikkor 14-30mm f/4 at 18mm, f/8, 3 sec at ISO 64.
Dawlish Warren, Devon - Nikon Z7, Nikkor 14-30mm f/4 at 19mm, f/8, 1/100 sec at ISO 250.
I hope you enjoyed this slightly random collection of photographs. I must have another look through my Lightroom catalogue to see if there are any other hidden gems in there.
