Moored Between The Reeds

Have I mentioned before that I learn’t my photography by spending a many a misty dawn shooting landscapes on the Somerset levels?. I probably have and 20 odd years on I can still be found wandering the wetlands with my camera.

Although I have explored just about every corner of this area of Somerset it still inspires me to go out and look for new locations and shooting opportunities and I’m rarely dissapointed.

This image titled Moored Between The Reeds was shot on Shapwick Heath which is a RSPB (Royal Society For Protection Of Birds) area.

As often is the case with my work it’s been..ehh Tweaked shall we say to fit my interpretaion of the place as I see it rather than a straight record of the location as it existed.

Origins Of Inspiration.

Filed under: iPhone Wanderings — Tags: , , , — admin @ 11:01 pm

I’ve mentioned before (probably several times) that I learn’t my photography by spending many hours exploring and shooting out and about on the Somerset Levels here near my home in the South West of England.
