Chasing Rainbows
Near Four Winds Car Park, Dartmoor National Park, Devon, UK
This is the third in what could be called ‘The Four Winds Trilogy’
My previous two posts focus on the same set of stones in the foreground with Hound Tor in the background. Now just around the time I shot the previous shot ‘Sidelight’ a light shower fell and I’m thinking “where did that come from? It wasn’t in the forecast at this time!”
Chasing these thought through my head and overtaking them fast was the ‘R’ word. I quickly glanced behind me and there it was shining brightly. I turned the tripod head quickly and just shot it in case it faded. Having done that I thought about a proper composition but conscious rainbows mostly don’t last long. I immediately spotted the stone you can see and quickly lined up this shot shooting it both as a single image and then as a focus stacked one. The version below is the focus stacked one.
Yet another case of Togs needing eyes in the back of our heads or owl type necks…maybe we will evolve that way eventually!
This is probably my last post before spending a week up in the Wirral on a bit of a family trip. I hope to make use of it to shoot a few locations that are not normally on my travels like New Brighton Lighthouse. Wish me luck!
