#36. The Brooding Fields Of Greenham, Dorset

23/4/2016

2 Comments

 
Greenham is a small settlement area near Drimpton in Dorset, England. Dorset is a place I have frequently visited in the past due to having a great friend who settled there some years ago. The landscape is varied & never boring to the eye, & there's always opportunity enough to capture the diverse facets of its countenance which are dictated by season & honed by weather conditions.

The weather on the day I tromped out to photograph the small settlement of Greenham was typical for December in England; the sky was overcast, with fast-moving dramatic cloudscapes, emanating the gloomy portent of sudden downpouring, which penetrated me with a hyper-real feeling of the land & weather conspiring, sinisterly, my ultimate doom by their capable & enormous powers.
Picture
I was shod with obligatory mucker boots, which were essential to my traversing the mud-cloddy fields that made up the stark landscape, lain bare & still heavily moist from recent rain showers.

There is a tributary of the River Axe, affectionately named Little Axe, that runs through Greenham & other nearby settlements. On this day it was quite lively & freshly topped up by copious amounts of precipitation lately deluged.

Equppied with my trusty Tokina 11-16mm wide angled lens I was able to capture the vastness of the unending undulations of a patchwork cloud-addled sky that proffered something of an impressionistic magnitude.

The skeletal tree forms sprung from the earth creaked eerily, waving like dancing giants populating the dismal fields, ploughed to nakedness.

I used split-tone processing to render the images, which I found intensified the overall atmosphere of melancholy that seemed to permeate the very air around me.

Thanks very much Dave. I'm visiting Dorset again in about 10 days, so I'll capture some fresh images while I'm there. Hope you too are getting out & photographing more. Cheers!
