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.

Tunisia Rising

A Warm Winter Glow

This one was captured during winter 2005. It is very misleading, as I believe the image has a very warm feeling to it, however, it was infact one of the coldest days of the year. I really like the fact that the trees increase and decrease in size and the reflection worked wonders. Two minutes after this shot and the sun had disappeared behind the bank.

Gladiator

I captured this shot of an amphitheatre on a recent trip to the small town El Djem, Tunisia. The sheer splendour of this ancient venue could only be captured with a panoramic shot. I also love how the blue sky highlights the magnificent arches that ran all around the outside of stone structure.

This shot was also taken in Tunisia. I got up at 4am in order to capture the sun rising over this salt lake. The boat was situated perfectly to round of what otherwise may have been a relatively boring sunrise.
