Location

St Agnes cliffs, Kernow (Cornwall) UK. It is amongst the tin mining remains, abutting steep cliffs, fauna clad against the sharp sky.

Time

Early afternoon in summer on a hot dry day when the heather had dried out.

Lighting

I wanted a sharp contrast of summer blue sky to the earth and the heritage mining remains clad in red/browns and dusky greens. Cornish light is especially good in summer.

Equipment

Fugi Fine Pix, nothing special. A lot of leaning on rocks or hanging over cliffs for best angles helps (do not take anyone with you that gets vertigo). Access can be limited by weatyher and conditions.

Inspiration

The chance to capture a moment in time and space. Natures power still controls our ability to record what our heritage and landscape before we lose it to developers or the sea reclaiming her own.

Editing

Only cropping.

In my camera bag

Just my Fuji camera and my smart phone for emergencies along with a must: 2 spare batteries.

Feedback

Be patient, just enjoy the moment and take time to explore.
