A lot of my approach shots were a bit soft thanks to too slow a shutter speed (my fault) and some pretty good bumps and bounces but it's still London and that's what matters.

Fog - Early morning fog was forcast so made an early start with the intention of capturing the Wheestones shrouded in thick fog to demonstrate the poor visibility lack of colour and general dullness of a foggy day on the hills. The intention was to make the viewer have to strain to actually see the outline of the wheelstones through the fog as they would when walking up to the stones from the path on the A57. This shot is a HDR merge of 3 bracketed shots taken at 1/15 1/30 &1/60 Sec f10 ISO100. I used the walkers path as a leading line to the Wheel stones and positioned the stones on the lower 3rds line with the largest stone just to the left of the left hand thirds line. Finally I very marginally adjusted the Hue for the following colours Reds -29 Orange - 39 Yellow -14 to bring up slightly more foreground interest without going too far as I wanted the picture to convey the image of dullness
The time when I am regularly behind the camera again is approaching. I live here now; in the desert. In dirt and sun, between Joshua Trees and wash board roads. I am finally home and no thing could bring me more joy.

I first trekked this section of the trail with Hazel back in 2015, just before the first 2015 Earthquake, which struck this area very hard. It was also before much of the road building and massive hydro-electric power projects made their mark. Read more on SparklyTrainers: Tsum Valley trek with Val Pitkethly.
