I ventured out to capture some interesting images during a morning of drizzle and mist. I took my Nikon Z7 equipped with a Nikkor AF-P 70-300 4.5-5.6 E Zoom lens and Manfrotto lightweight Carbon Fibre Tripod, not forgetting the all important remote shutter release a YouPro YP-860 Rxll. Wearing a Barbour Jacket, bog standard welly boots and water resistant work trousers off I went looking for suitable locations around the Wells. Here are some of the results of my trek
Elstead Moat Pond and Thursley Common
19th February 2023
An outing with my son in law Martin. A couple of years ago, on the 15th July this location suffered a devastating fire. A lot of the woodland and wild life disappeared as a result. We came to observe the change and revitalisation of the common land around the pond, yes there was definitely some rejuvenation going on. So first before I go on. Have a look at some of my photographs.
In the first instance, what is Landscape Photography? In this blog I will attempt to describe my understanding of Landscape Photography. I’m no expert, I just take photographs that I will enjoy viewing for a long time and with luck, you will also.
What do I classify as a Landscape?
Landscapes to me are represented by images either mental or physical of areas of land that could include a whole host of natural elements, wooded areas, fields, streams, waterfalls and other wide visual vistas. Landscapes can also encapsulate specific objects such as townscapes, industrial and seascapes. Here are some examples:
Gates in the Lake DistrictDisused Quarry Lake District
Broadway at Night NY City
As a complete contrast the nightlife of New York
Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur
This would fall under the category of City Scape. I have been reliably informed that this image is now out of date as buildings have been popping up everywhere. Progress but interesting nevertheless
The above image was taken in Exmoor near Minehead and Dunster Castle after the Harvest on the right new growth near Thursley, and this is where I have taken my inspiration watching the field grow to maturity and harvestImage taken in the morning bright and early to benefit from the cool sun giving a crisper light allowing to capture more detail from the backgroundTaken early evening in Mid June 2021
A Trip to Petworth Park
Godalming Photographic Club visit Petworth for their annual wild life photography outing and this year the conditions were perfect. Early morning start gave us the stunning light laying a carpet of mist in the valley. The stags were performing their yearly routine, proving their right to mate with the doe. Here are just a few shots taken on Sunday 22nd October this year 2023.
