Dartmoor Photos

23rd March, 2010

Moorland walks seem to inevitably result in camera shots where I take a few across a landscape and think “Yeh, I’ll merge these together when I get home” and quite often I eventually do. Here are a couple of the latest:

Dartmoor Landscape (Dartmoor)

Quarry Pool (Dartmoor)

See all the older shots I’ve taken in the past in this group of Dartmoor shots.

Out of interest there are a lot of new websites appearing that make use of flickr’s APIs to display information but here is one that has been around for a while and seems to provide quite a few hits: http://fiveprime.org/hivemind/User/srjm. It also helps to remind me of old things.

A Couple More Dartmoor Merges

24th April, 2009

For the past couple of Sundays I’ve decided I have enough time to go walking on the moor, which naturally has meant I’ve returned with some photos to merge into panoramic views.

Easter sunday around the scout hut SW of Burrator:

And the following Sunday, up around Merrivale and Woodtown:

Vixen Tor and North Hessary (Dartmoor)

Both views showing North Hessary in the distance.

Oblivion

7th September, 2008

Thought I’d throw in a couple of screenshots I’ve taken of TES4 Oblivion. I absolutely enjoyed playing it the first time around, and it had a similar wow factor to the extent of when I first tried out Half Life 2. Once I’d got as much out of the fighting and looting aspect I turned to simply exploring the absolutely vast landscape and admiring the scenery.

(Vilverin is one of the first sights a player gets emerging from the prison/sewer tunnel at the start of the game.)

Here are a couple of pictures from my visit to Stonehenge. Despite the seemingly endless rain, it may have actually even been sunny on this day!

Holiday in Cornwall

14th July, 2008

So I’ve had a holiday in a caravan with my family in rainy Cornwall during the week that had possibly the worst forecast for July ever. So bad in fact that our local presenter David Braine was demonstrating rainfall as dyed blue water in glasses, comparing the monthly average, which wasn’t very much, against a full glass symbolising what was expected to fall in just one day.

However it turned out nowhere near as bad as this and from the sounds it was further up nearer home that got all this rain. So we managed to visit some very beautiful places of which I have taken and uploaded photos to Flickr. I also managed to take a couple of quite successful panoramic photoshop-merged shots.
