Moving South

From the Shetlands we went down to Yorkshire (not very far South) and then on to the Cotswolds' (pretty far South).

 

I thought of leaving the next image to the end of the post, but on second thoughts I'll get it out of the way up front.

It's one of those shots photographers know better than to take, but like the "Road goes on forever..." shot, we mostly can't help ourselves...I give you the dead tree shot...

O.K., now let's move on...

The early light caught these Poplars just right...

Rapeseed fields were in full bloom...

A slightly sunnier take on the subject...

 

 

 

1/ 3200s, at f/22 || E.Comp:-22 / 6 || 24mm || WB: AUTO 0. || ISO: 500 || Tone: || Sharp: || Camera: NIKON D3on: 2015:05:16 08:07:23

 

 

 

The Yorkshire Moors offer a bit of bleak (what Shetland wasn't enough?) beauty too...

 

 

 

1/ 500s, at f/9 || E.Comp:-2 / 6 || 40mm || WB: AUTO 0. || ISO: 400 || Tone: || Sharp: || Camera: NIKON D3on: 2015:05:14 03:45:32

 

 

 

To end with, a bit of Aelbert Cuyp without the cows...

 

 

 

1/ 200s, at f/18 || E.Comp:-4 / 6 || 48mm || WB: AUTO 0. || ISO: 400 || Tone: || Sharp: || Camera: NIKON D3on: 2015:05:13 23:06:16

 

 

 

No cows because the field was recently full of sheep, note the bits of wool scattered around the foreground, but the light and the character of the landscape made me think of the 17th C. Dutch landscape painters.

 

 

 

Clicking on an image will make it larger, I hope you enjoy and thanks for taking the time to have a look.
