Taken on vacation trips
A view of the Hound Tor in Dartmoor, Devon, UK… Supposedly heavily haunted and the inspiration for Conan Doyle’s book ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’, we drove through miles of cold and foggy (not to mention spooky!) moorland before we arrived at this place during our travels earlier this year. There were a few people hiking onto the tor. In our case, the cold got the better of us and we drove off shortly after getting this picture.
Taken on our journey to the Dorset Coast earlier this year… Beach huts are a common sight on many British beaches. Apparently Victorian in origin, they were apparently a means for royalty to preserve their modesty while they change at the beach on holiday. They certainly present a colourful sight on beaches, although these particular ones were rather dull and gloomy during our visit because of the strong winds and wet weather occurring then.
Taken in Langham Place Shopping Mall in Mongkok, Hong Kong… One of my favourite angles for photography in crowded places is to adopt a top-down, bird’s-eye view. This angle not only gives an unusual perspective of things but also helps to de-clutter the background. Unpredictable crowd behaviour and a slow shutter speed add to the ingredients of an interesting, unconventional shot!
