New Photography Forum

I have just delved into the realms of creating a Forum for Photographers to come and discuss all aspects of photography.
There are 6 different topics to choose from and all can offer tips and information as well as links to other sites of interest. Feel free to join at

I hope to get this Forum off the ground and offer you the choice of getting involved in posting topics..

Enjoy

Crosses Of Dartmoor

I had the great pleasure of completing the 12 Across 2 Down Charity walk recently and had almost forgotton just how beautiful Dartmoor is (even in the mist). A group of 8 trundled from Venford Reservior to Princetown over open Moorland via Crazywell. We were treated to some wonderful views of the crosses as we travelled. Here is the team photo of the weary wanderers at one of the crosses.

This was the perfect opportunity, not just to meet up with friends but to take some photos of areas of the moor that most people wouldn't know about.

I met up with some very good friends and made some new friends ad we made our way under the guidance of Terry and Rob over the mist filled moor. I look forward to our next trip over the moors when we take on some Midnight Madness in July.


In the mean time I have just arranged an event on Facebook for a meeting of the Plymouth Photography Group..I ma not too sure what will start from here but it could promise to be an afternoon of getting to know people and maybe even taking our camera's as we walk, once again the beauty of Dartmoor.

Summer In February...


The title of this post will leave people a little puzzled..I refer to the day I had on Monday 11th February, I went with 2 great freinds to Crow's Nest on Bodmin Moor.

The Engine Houses and the glorious sunny day made for some super photos.

It really was a pleasure to get out and see the beauty all around me. There was an opportunity to travel to a place i'd passed but never stopped at, climb a short way to the Crow's Nest where we saw evidence of Cornwall's rich heritage...a series of Engine Houses with chimney's still intact.

Peace and tranquility was only drowned out briefly by a couple of scramble bikes, apart from that it was bird song and peace in a truly beautiful spot.

As the day drew on and the sun began to set I had the real privelage of getting some lovely photo's of some of the Engine Houses. I will return to this wonderful place again in the near future and may even explore further into Bodmin Moor. It really is delightful up there and there is so much to see. A photographers dream you may say (well if you like to focus on the history of a place).

Who knows where my camera will lead next, I have plans to go to Saltram House again today and try to capture more of God's Creation!! maybe another post tonight...after the football of course.
