Watership Down

Watership Down

The location made famous by Richard Adams in his book of the same name. Crispinuk and I visited Watership Down in December and became quite mesmerised by the mist rushing up the steep side of the down and over the top. Details became engulfed in the mist and would then reappear at random creating an almost endless variation of images.

I had real trouble scanning this print for some reason. The original has really nice variation in the split toning from pale sepia in the highlights through near neutral grey in the upper mid-tones to blue black and the deep shadows. There's also more 'light' in the original. This scan looks a bit flat and all over brown!

Nice atmosphere, I love the UK countryside, not almost completely ruined in the name of progress as in the Netherlands.
 
I love the tone to this image the composition is awesome. I agree with andrew awesome fog
 
Watership Down: you,ve read the book, you've seen the film - now try the stew! Seriously, I really like this shot. It's a place I've always wanted to see and, if I wasn't a non-believer, I'd say that mist was heaven-sent. The print must be beautiful. Regards, B.
