Spring may be on the way but it hadn't arrived at the weekend.
A flat boring light day so a little improvised abstract. Making the most of lemons.

I tried to make that into an aerial view of Col de Rousset or similar...

Was a rather glorious day here... nice, for a change.

Another comment referenced Eastenders. Not bad for a frozen forestry road puddle! 🤣

Not a bad sunset for February

I was in Exeter to meet a friend this evening, so made a couple of stops for some night-time photography for a change... the camera didn't catch the moon behind the cathedral well, but otherwise, not too bad.

Back to daylight, and I was impressed with how well the HDR coped with the vicious contre jour lighting on the sea near Sidmouth... I suspect that @rjsterry knows these views from the coast path...

There's a lot of silt in the water on that second one. Not done that bit of the path but have been on the beach at Ladram and seen it from the water, too.

A cracking 10-miler: Otterton, Mutter's Moor, Peak Hill, coast path to Budleigh, then back up the Otter to Otterton.

Lunch at the Mill?

Sadly not, as having done the Budleigh extension to make the most of the weather, I had to dash back to get into work.

BTW, LORP is nearing completion, and it was interesting to learn about the re-routing of the outfall from the Otterton STP, which is somehow connected with the Budleigh side at Otter Mouth, the works having bored right under the Otter from both sides.

Will have to have a look next time we're down. Another view of that red rock.

Very grey and white morning when I was out with the dogs as the sun hadn't won it's battle with the fog.

Yes, that's a superb series of photos, thanks RJS.

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

A the other end of the scale (pun intended) clouds really have been spoiling everything.

Not been great light for anything the past couple of days. Well, sleeping, maybe.

I've started following a Welsh Landscape and Seascape group on Facebook, the range on there is incredible from superb professional quality work to not so good (being kind!). There's been some brilliant sunsets posted recently.

Much of the spectacular stuff I see I think is down to planning and patience, neither of which I'm very good at, hence the routine snaps I tend to take.

One shot I've always thought I'd like is a low full moon over the Exe at high tide, then when I was talking it over with a cycling/photographer friend, I realised why it's a shot I'll never ever get, however long I live here, or how much planning and patience I put into it... d'oh!

Definitely, even with my own photos the ones I like most have come from an idea I had in my head before going out (then got lucky with the conditions to get roughly what I was hoping for). With things like sunsets you need to know exactly where and when it will disappear e.g. there was one on that site yesterday of the sun setting behind Mumbles lighthouse which would have meant the photographer knowing exactly where they needed to set up and then getting the conditions to take the shot.

Having buffed my bell....

Glorious Brighton sunset this evening.
Tried the panorama on my phone, fairly happy with that.
