Another of Devon's landmarks. This was taken at an old mine which has since been converted into a tourist attraction. Nothing spectacular about the venue, until you slow down time and play around with the shutter speed. Two things stand out for me and that is the flow angle of the water and the ambient green moss. Remember its all about experimenting.
I live in an old Cheshire village 5 miles from Chester with my fiancé and 6 year old Daughter.
We were very luck 3 years ago to find the perfect cottage set amongst acres of fields and woods. My daughter attends the village school and is being raised to appreciate country life and nature. It is vital to teach her about the environment in which she lives and we often wonder for hours in to the countryside to explore tracks and hedgerows. It’s quite incredible to walk in from work to see her sat in front of the television watching Ray Mears as oppose to Balamory.
That’s not to say she is growing up without the usual needs and dreams of a 6 year old girl, but more that she has developed a kinship with nature and is genuinely interested instead of being forced.
I suppose my love for the outdoors is what inspired me to take up photography. I love the concept of freezing an image, a moment in time. It fascinates me to think that you can walk the same muddy path for years and never see its potential until the light breaks and for a few seconds the path transforms into something completely different. It is those moments when a camera is the perfect brush and the sky your canvas.
