Three more shots from Dartmoor
I said in my post the other day that I'd been working in the digital darkroom. These shots have made it through and out the other side.
I'd love to get your feedback on your initial impact.
Looking towards Tavistock and some distant hills and tors of Dartmoor. Houses nestle amongst some trees beyond a large expanse of prickly gorse, in an otherwise deserted landscape.
Shooting into the sun can be quite challenging as this shot proves. Often, the loss of detail caused by the high contrast ruins the shot but in this one I think it suits and complements the composition.What do you think?
There is a legend on Dartmoor of a headless horseman—well this is the lesser known one of the headless pony!
No, not a trick in Photoshop, just a bit of luck and some careful positioning of your photographer!
comments / critique / feedback always welcome :)
Stumble It!

Nice work Mark, the middle shot gets my vote.
Astoundigly stunning shots!
It's really hard to pick my favourite! :)
Wow! What extraordinary photos. I loved the detail on the last one. The only headless horseman I knew was Alan Poe's one. I'm glad to meet another one. ;)
Cheers, imac :)
@Betty: Glad u like them :)
@Sylvia: I've still got another one or two of the ponies to do. I think they might be a bit challenging, we'll see :) But at least they've got the correct number of heads!!
Great photos Mark. First one gets my vote... It has a look of Mystery/Intrigue.
