North Yorkshire Moors
While walking across Commondale Moor I came across an old boundary stone surrounded by dried grass gently blowing in the evening breeze. I loved the way the yellow contrasted with the sea of purple heather and composed an image so a distant tree echoed the lone boundary stone.
Thick cloud hung overhead and the light remained diffused and flat, but a thin sliver of clear sky just above the western horizon gave me some hope. An hour or so went by and then suddenly the exposure reading on my meter went up a third of a stop. It was almost almost imperceptible, but the side of the stone had a faint glow.
Within moments the sun filled the gap below the clouds and the most beautiful light I’ve ever seen transformed the landscape, saturating the heather with an intensely warm light. In this image, I placed an 0.6ND filter over the 0.6ND grad so the slower shutter speed captured the motion of the grass as it swayed in the wind. After taking this image, and just three minutes after first appearing, the sun slipped below a hill and the light was gone.
This is a limited edition print with a print run of 100.

Daily Perth Sunrise Photos.
On August 1st 2011, I embarked on a project to capture every Perth sunrise on a daily basis. Each of these sunrises may be view here: 'A Year of Perth Sunrises'
A photographic print taken at sunrise makes a perfect gift to commemorate a special event that took place on the same day. With the sunrise’s symbolic links to the dawn of a new life, a sunrise print makes a wonderful present to commemorate the birth of a child and is the perfect gift for a Christening or naming ceremony. A print of one of my sunrise photographs can also be a suitable gift idea to commemorate and celebrate weddings, engagements, retirements, bar mitzvahs, graduations, milestone birthdays and many other special events
For images taken before 1st August 2011, please visit my 'Photographs by Date Gallery' at pbase.com. I create images on a daily basis, so if there is a date without a photograph, I most probably will have one but have yet to add it to the gallery. Please use the contact form to enquire about any dates that do not currently have a photo. The majority of these prints are open edition prints with prices starting at $90.
