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.
