New Forest Lanscapes

This shot and the all of the ones below were taken on a recent day trip to the New Forest. With these two particular images the light was turning to dusk and i knew that in order to get the best shot I was going to have to decide on my final location before it got too dark. The sun set with a brilliant array of blues and purples as you can see although i did add some enhancements through Photoshop. The horses helped to give a subject to an otherwise relatively standard landscape image.


Throughout the day I had been looking for reflection shots and with all of the recent rain there were plenty of marshes created on the heath land. Although not so good for walking it was superb for capturing the golden clouds created as the sun began to lower in the sky. I had been waiting weeks for the weather to be nice enough to get out and do some photography and it just shows it can often be worth the wait.

The whispy clouds on this shot and the shot below made this setting perfect for my photos. The sunlight was previously too bright when looking directly at the sun for the aperture of the camera, however the clouds set in and helped to create a perfect silhouette of the leaf free tree branches.

New Forest Pony

I took this image in the New Forest. On this particular day I had a lot of University coursework to do but the weather was just too nice so i decided to get on the train and take the hour and a half journey to the New Forest. I think photography is a valid excuse for not doing work, don’t you? My aim as you should be able to see was to get as sharp shot as possible of this horse’s eye. He was momentarily distracted by my tasty looking camera strap that he decided he would try and eat.

The Rhythm of the Station

I wanted to use this shot to capture the contrasts of this environment. I was sat at Clapham Junction station and noticed that you would get bursts of people and then a rush of trains and then the whole station would fall into a state of silence as people waited for the next rush. I took this image just as a train rushed through the station, which i think creates a brilliant contrast to the silent individuals waiting on the platforms edge.

Fireworks at the Quays

I had been waiting for fireworks night for a long time so that I could capture some slow shutter shots like this one. It is a shame the fireworks weren't being fired from the right of the Spinnaker Tower as this would have enabled me to frame the image, but there is always next year I suppose.

St Malo Chapel

This image of the St Malo Church was captured on a trip sailing along the Bretagne coastline. The architecture of this city really captured my attention and the light on this particular day was perfect for a silhouette shot that would highlight the bold limestone structure.
