Artist's Comments

Landscape photogrpahy is so heavily reliant on lighting conditions that sometimes I get frustrated with persistant rain, flat skies, or hazy sunsets. Yesterday it rained all day until 5pm, the local rivers were ready to burst.
Towards sunset I saw a gap on the horizon and got quite hopeful of some good lighting conditions. I caked myself in mud trying to cycle to this tor on time! The sunlight up at the tor was wonderful, the kind of intensity you only usually get after rain. There was also a stiff breeze, which made the sunkissed grasses a particularly tempting subject.
I had actually been to this tor the day before, and got some good shots, only to delete them by mistake. Had I not deleted them I doubt I would have gone out, it's funny how things work out.

The light tones on the grass and rock is amazing. Well done!

Yeah, considering that naturephotography is always reliant on the weatherconditions I can't stand people that say that it's the easiest thing to do.

I really love this shot, to bad you see houses in the distance, it takes a little from the atmosphere. But non the less a great shot. :)
