Just a quick one to cheer those up in the winter blues…Spring isn’t that far away now

I headed down to the beach in search of a location I had seen on a previous trip, with a particular image in mind I set off to find it. Curiously though I changed my plans when I came across outcrops of rock all criss-crossed with quartz. One mound of exposed rock grabbed my attention in particular, the softer dark stone having been eroded away to expose the quartz veins and interesting patterns within. With a bright sunset occurring behind me I turned my attention and camera towards the rocks for further study, the delicate pinks from the sky set off the quartz and gently illuminated the smoothed pebbles caught in the cracks and fissures. Since photography is the creation of an image during a passage of time (regardless of it’s length), the relationship between photography and quartz is linked through our arbitrary labeling of increments as it passes. There is so much more at this location than I originally believed, I think a return visit is on the cards…
The Lightning Tree

Dartmoor, Devon.
I was drawn to the mix of jagged patterns from the branches and the smooth flow of water below. By the time this image was made the light of the day had almost completely faded though there was enough to pick out the details, luckily there was no breeze either and the branch remained still for the entire 30 second exposure.
Blue Balance at Kimmeridge, Dorset

I headed down to Kimmeridge the other day in the hopes of a great sunset with the low tide. Upon arrival the tide was certainly low, as low as any of the locals I met could ever remember unfortunately large grey clouds rolled in and all but obscured the sunlight. So much for a wonderful sunset, the rest of the day had been bright with just the right amount of clouds and had the potential to build into a spectacular display. Alas not, I tried a few compositions but settled with a gentle reflection of the last bit of light on the wet rock slabs…maybe next time…

Cleaned by nature. What’s not to like? dynamic lines, repeating shapes…perhaps a reasonable composition too. Identified as a deer thanks to a nearby pair of intact hooves. Who ever got to it has completely stripped it clean, what I find remarkable is the location I discovered it; lying exposed in the center of a track in a floodplain area. Perhaps I had disturbed what ever dragged it there to pick at?

One from a warmer time. Whilst looking through my images and culling editing them with a more critical eye, a sort of spring-clean if you will, I have unearthed a few gems that I hope to refine and post in due course, until then enjoy this view from last year during the warmer months…bit of a far cry from the last image!
Ice Crystals

The rapid freezing of a small woodland stream turned the surface into something you might expect to see down a microscope, not with the naked eye…

After the snowmen have all melted there’s still a few pockets of ice hidden away. I came across a patch of ice running alongside a fence in part of a field system, it seemed unremarkable at first but upon closer inspection it was possible to see all the reeds and grasses trapped beneath its quite un-smooth surface, the texture of which I rather like.
