A Slow Burner

For a long time, I had ignored Combestone Tor. I’m not entirely sure why. Maybe it was because the couple of casual visits that I gave it previously hadn’t been that successful and I wrote it off. However, when I visited Combestone a few months ago I captured some images that I was unexpectedly pleased with. It could have been the weather conditions, the light, the colour, but whatever it was it had sparked my interest in this location again.

A few weeks ago, I decided to make another visit. The conditions were quite different from my last visit, but I still felt that there were photographs to be captured. I wanted to capture some different images this time and despite the variety of views at this location I still found it hard to pick out compositions.

Looking back at the images I captured on this most recent of visits I’ve concluded that this location is a bit of a slow burner. It’s one of these locations where you really must put in the time to get the most out of it. While I’m happy enough with the images I captured I feel I have still to find the very best that Combestone has to offer.

This is not a bad thing though. With autumn just around the corner, I’ve got a feeling Combstone is going to come alive over the next couple of months and I’m looking forward to returning already.
