Colmers Hill at dusk

On Sunday afternoon, as the sun was setting and the liught beginning to 'glow', I headed off to Stonebarrow to try and capture Golden Cap in the amazing golden light that was shining.

On the way I drove past Colmers Hill, one of my favourite (if over photographed) local spots.

I walked up the hill opposite to capture the scene from Eype Down, to include some of the ferns on the down which were turning golden brown and looked wonderful in the setting sunlight. I tried a couple of different scenes, using some of the late-flowering gorse as foreground interest, but in the end discarded that one in favour of a more traditional composition.





As the sun lowered still further and it looked promising for a grerat sunset, I headed off towards Lyme Regs but as the sun dropped the clouds built up and formed a low barrier across the sky, resulting in a rather dissapointing and grey sunset. I stopped on the front of Lyme to capture a set of steps I had seen a few weeks earlier, that I thought would work well as a black and white iamge.
