Location

This is a clapper bridge at Postbridge on Dartmoor, England.

Time

I took this in mid September about 13.00pm.

Lighting

It was a dull day weather wise with grey skies but the air quality on Dartmoor is very good so still had reasonable light for the photo.

Equipment

I took this one a couple of years ago on a very old Panasonic DMC-FZ20, I've upgraded a couple of times since.

Inspiration

This is a iconic bridge on Dartmoor. This clapper bridge is believed to date back to the 13th century. I love going up on the moor & looking for natural stone to photograph.

Editing

I cropped this on a little but apart from that this is as taken.

In my camera bag

I'm such a lazy photographer & travel very light usually with only my camera. Because I keep my camera with keep 99% of the time & like it to be lightweight & easy to carry.

Feedback

Check out old maps of your local area to see if there's any old buildings or structures that might be of interest. I travel around the lanes locally looking for the unusual.
