Bodmin Moor Sunset.....the Cheesering

            As the sun was going down at the Cheesering on Bodmin Moor it was obvious that bank of cloud was not going anywhere. Just thickening if anything so we just sat and waited as as I knew.. err hoped it would become wedged like a star between the land and those clouds. By this time only two other people remained sitting not far from us just watching the spectacle as we were...
I am not an experienced landscape photographer so it’s a good job I had plenty of time to choose the best options for this shot but even then I could not balance the brightness and shadows successfully to my satisfaction.
I tried hard grads, soft grads and stacked grads..no good.
This is a blend of three shots...
One for the top, one for the middle and one for the foreground rocks. Impossible without a tripod so I’m pleased I took it along.
Well Jonathan took it along actually like the gentleman he is..
The same place as the previous shot as that was my preferred composition.
The Cheesewring is a short walk (approx. 1½ km the north) across the moor. On a clear day its distinct shape can be seen from most parts of the Minions moor - standing on the edge of the Cheesewring Quarry. Its shape has been the subject of many debates; the result of weather erosion on the granite strata of the moor over many years. From the Cheesewring the views across the Cornish countryside and into Devon are nothing less than stunning on a clear day.
