Thread: Haytor Quarry, Dartmoor from 2010 revisited with SEP2

It's another abysmal, dull grey and slightly damp day, so a revisit to some shots made in August 2010 at Haytor on Dartmoor using a GF1 and 15mm Voigtlander Super Wide-Heliar. These were processed using Silver Efex Pro 2, although it's interesting to see how close the results are to those images I processed at the time using whatever means was built into the photo editor then in use (Bibble Pro 5 for raw conversion). I recall a rather windy day (some shelter in the quarry) with changing light conditions, fast changing cloud cover and the odd passing shower.

Great frames Barrie. The last one really floats my boat.

Excellent tonality and detail - worth the revisit.

I like the last image best. The huge rock lunging up from the depths of the Earth ... good stuff Barrie.

PS- 80F yesterday dropping to the low 50's at night. Bright, warm and relatively cloudless.

Outstanding Barrie.

Hmm, 34 deg F and the intermittent light drizzle has become heavier and continuous since I posted, oh and at 15:00 hours (sunset is 16:54 hours, what's that?) I'd have needed a light on to engage in that old fashioned activity of reading a book. That might be my last weather observation, all too depressing, for me that is

Barrie

Nice stuff. I especially like the first and last. What Gary said about the last, and as for the first - kinda takes me back to some old B&W Western movies...

The second and the last are my favorites, but the whole series is very engaging. Nice work. Hope your weather improves soon. I'm in the sunbelt here in the U.S., and I still find winter depressing.

Very nice Barrie. The second and third are my favorites, but it's a close call. Thank goodness there are no people in these shots!

Well spotted Ray. I was with a group so for the first shot, and others taken at that time, I was able to ask them not to walk into the shot and they kindly waited for me. For the others I had no such control, so for some of them a long wait was required until I could achieve a people free shot. Rather late in life, but I'm beginning to think it would be easier for me if I liked people a little better
