Devon
Devon is a picturesque county located in South West England, known for its stunning coastline, rolling hills, and charming villages. It is a popular destination for photographers, offering a diverse range of landscapes and natural beauty. From the rugged cliffs of the Jurassic Coast to the tranquil waters of Dartmoor National Park, Devon provides endless opportunities for capturing breathtaking images. The county is also home to historic landmarks such as the medieval Exeter Cathedral and the iconic Burgh Island, which have been the subject of many famous photographs.
Well, Saturday was a mean and moody day, with threatening rain clouds to be seen in all directions, so I thought why not visit a new location and try to make good use of the dramatic skies with a bit of Big Stopper slow-motion.
It was not to be, as I seemed to pick out the only bit of blue sky in the South West. Something I wouldn't normally mind, but not what I'd intended.
The blue sky and minimal low clouds were not really what I was after, so tried recreating the effect I was after in photoshop, with a sky I took last year and some motion blur.
