Bowerman's Nose

[Guest]

I've taken some shots of Bowerman's Nose before but to be a bit different I decided this time to use a longer lens and take it as a portrait, closer up.

 

 

f/5.6 ISO 200 1/200

Here's another shot I took of Bowerman's Nose, this time in the more usual style:

I love these. Where is it?

[Guest]

Thanks Kate. Bowerman's Nose is on Dartmoor, near Manaton.

[KateW]

Ah, right. Thank you! I'd heard of it, but had no idea where it is.

It's always good to go with a break from the norm and the first works really well.

It doesn't look as big in the first shot, but it does in the second. How many feet/metres would you say it was?

[Guest]

Thank you. 

 

It's about 6.6 metres high. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowerman's_Nose)

 

Here's one more photo:

 That's a good size.

It sure is. In the past, people used to climb on top of it but it's not allowed anymore.

Last shot for me. I know its more conventional but the balance works and the foreground rocks give it a good sense of environment.

The first shot would have worked if you could have thrown the background further out of focus to really separate the rock from it.

All three shots are great, but my favourite is #2.
