Cool Hello from the New Forest :-)

Hello all,

Just found this site and joined up so thought I'd say 'hello' and tell you a bit about myself.

I'm a photographer based in the New Forest in Hampshire and I specialise in capturing the beauty of this special place and it's inhabitants.

I'm originally from Yorkshire but have lived in the New Forest for the last 10 years and it felt like home as soon as I moved here

Unfortunately, the photography doesn't pay the bills yet so I have to spend too much of my time developing software

I've loved nature for as long as I can remember (and that's what got me into photography) but that most precious of commodities - time - prevents me from enjoying it as much as I'd like.

Kevan

Hi Kevan, I'm a newcomer too but welcome all the same.

I'm quite close to you, just north of Salisbury. Look forward to your posts.

Re: Hello from the New Forest :-)

Wow! Thanks for the warm welcome guys

I tried posting an image of an Azure Damselfly yesterday and although it appeared to work I can't seem to find it now

Anyway, I have a website at http://www.newforestimages.com which contains a selection of my work if you're interested in seeing some. I've a small number of fungi pictures on there to whet your appetitie John!

Re: Hello from the New Forest :-)

CherryBee,

Just had a quick browse through the gallery and noticed you've posted a few pictures from round Otterton and Budleigh Salterton and I see you're from Exmouth.

We stayed at Ladram Bay last year - what a gorgeous area - I took a few photos myself and posted one or two on my non-New Forest website. Look for the stones on Budleigh Salterton Beach (what an amazing variety of beautiful stones!) and sunrise at Ladram Bay.

Re: Hello from the New Forest :-)

LOL @ nightshade

I was back up in Yorkshire last week. It was just a flying visit seeing friends and relatives and to re-fill with Northern Air but had chance to drive over the Moors over Blakey Ridge and across the Dales through Swaledale. Simply amazing at this time of year.

Managed to fit in a day in the Lake District too. The weather was great and it just reminded me that Britain is one of the most amazing and varied places on earth. I just hope it can stay that way...

I love the Sunrise at Ladram Bay, Devon.I do so love this part of the world but then I am biased.I am Exmouth born and have lived here all my life.Until I took up photographing british wild life I never really appreciated the area I live.Some of my favourite places are Budleigh and Otterton and our lovely jurassic coastline with the richly coloured sandstone.When you visited Budleigh beach did you take a walk along the Otter ,starting point is in the car park.It is a wonderful walk especially if you walk all the way to Otterton.If you come here again I would recommend it.Your sites are lovely by the way

Re: Hello from the New Forest :-)

Hi CherryBee,

Glad you like my sites Thanks for looking. The sunrise photo was taken about 5:30am unfortunately, the sun went behind a bank of cloud shortly afterwards so I didn't take many.

Yes, we did a walk along the river, we walked along the coast from Ladram Bay to the estuary then up to the bridge and along the river. On another day we started a walk along the river from Otterton Mill but after about half a mile, turned back as it started raining and we didn't have jackets
