Using a soft old vintage lens on a on a Modern camera seems pointless but when I used the Helios 44-2 lens with a Nikon Z 6 I found the results very pleasing.
Photographs from South Devon and Dartmoor
Since March, all my photography was been taken a couple of miles from my home during my daily exercise walks. I took a lot of photos from around my area and I still have a lot to add the website.
Now that the UK Covid 19 lockdown restrictions have eased, I had the opportunity to visit Devon for a short break away from work. So, below are some photographs taken during July 2020 while visiting South Devon and Dartmoor.
A surfer walks past Burgh Island Hotel on the beach of Bigbury on Sea. I have spent many wonderful hours on this beach and hope I continue visiting in the future.
The Helios 44 is becoming one of my favourite lenses, it's compact size and fantastic bokeh means that it is always in my camera bag. These wild Daisies were just outside the cottage we were staying in just down the road from California Cross, Ivybridge.
Dartmoor has diverse landscapes from open hilly moor land, to the beautiful lush vegetation in the valley by the river Dart.
Totnes in February
Unseasonably weather in Totnes allowed to us to explore the historic town in Devon.
Venice off the beaten path
The fantasy city of Venice remains impossible for me to grasp, a city I have been to many times, a magical city that I love to visit and photograph.
Great pics, I have just come back from South Devon 🙂 will we be seeing more Dartmoor landscape photography from you?
Thanks Jay, not sure when I will get back to Dartmoor. My trips are always unplanned and last minute. Hopefully I will add some photos from a previous trip to dartmour which where taken about 10 years ago.
