I went out in some ‘typical Dartmoor weather’ the other day attempting to see what images could be created in the mist. Rather pleased with the atmosphere in this one. #dartmoor #misty #dartmoornationalpark #photography #devon

Realised I hadn’t posted this to BlueSky… I’ve hidden 5 copies of my book on Dartmoor as letterboxes. Riddles to help with their whereabouts in the next few posts I’ll make. The Postbridge one has been found. Happy hunting! #dartmoor #devon #dartmoornationalpark

Last week I hosted my first photo walk, helping people learn some techniques to take photos they’re happier with using a camera or a phone. If you missed it I’m doing it all again for Dartmoor Outdoor Festival: www.dartmooroutdoorfestival.co.uk/store/p42/ph... #dartmoor #devon #photography

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the colours of Dartmoor in a summer’s sunset #dartmoor #devon #sunset #photography

Sunset on Dartmoor National park. Sidelit rocky outcrops with golden light. A small path leads through grasses, past some grazing sheep up to a distant tor.

I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of watching water. This stuff is beautiful, the patterns and textures it created, and the way they reflect light and create shadow. #water #patterns. #nature #photography #coniston

Patterns of rippled water with one single sprig of leaves floating in the centre of the image

Rippled water with light reflecting and darker shadowy areas creating contract and variation

Gentle ripples, with smooth, rounded peaks and troughs, resulting in gently diffused light

The photo that changed everything. Since then I’ve not cropped, straightened, or edited in any way. I’ve learnt a lot in the intervening 7 years about how to evolve the craft of images made in camera, but it stated here #dartmoor #cottongrass #madeincamera #landscape #photography #nature

Just before or just after is always a fun time to have a camera out.

Thanks Alan. If I’m honest, I don’t recall, it’s from donkeys years ago. It may have had a soft 0.9 grad.

I often play the
‘Choose which boat you’d like to own’ game when sat by the water. This was my choice on our Lake District trip recently. It looks beautiful in the golden hour light #ambleside #windermere #yacht #sunset #lakedistrict

Tom Dauben @tomdauben.bsky.social · Jun 30

Always a nice walk along there. Lots of bird life and so many nicely framed little views out over the town

A successful afternoon of bike servicing and cleaning. Having worked in a bike workshop years ago I always get a bit nostalgic when I’m wielding some allen keys at this thing. #norco #mtb #devon
