Dorset Landscape Photography
Trees, trees & more trees
The skies have been very hazy lately, with unclear skies and misty-looking valleys, so tonight, with the sun setting in and out from behinds broken clouds, I headed up onto the hills surrounding Bridport, Mapperton and Beaminster to see what I could find.
The evening ended up being all about trees. Thier shapes, forms, the patterns, their shadows, and the layers across the valleys set up by the haze and setting sun.
I started up on the top of Eggardon Hill, looking down across the valleys into Bridport, shooting into the sun to cause the trees to highlight and to form the patterns across the landscape.
From there, I followed on through Hooke, stopping off to see the progress of the Bluebells, which are still some time off. Then headed on to the hills over Mapperton and Beaminster, where the sun was setting across the valley.
Tonight was just a bit of fun. Shooting directly into the sun, with the resulting glare and issues with exposure is never easy, but tonight I also had strong winds gusting up the valley and through the gaps in the hedge, which added to the experience!!
