Where is this? Beautiful shot and I love the chunky pebbles

Cot Valley Cornwall, about a mile from St Just.
Those aren't pebbles, they're huge boulders that'll snap your ankles just looking at them.

It's a very beautiful place, and home to the cornish choughs you'll often see these days.

I've often run through it on events, but rarely stopped to take it in.

I live in Cornwall, originally Redruth but currently in Bodmin for the last few years because of work commitments.

Botallack mine is another well known area worth a look, it's a disused mine with a couple engine houses on the coast.

I know the whole area inside out, ran quite a few ultras though the area and beyond.

Some impressive images here, I just can't get my head around getting good Landscapes and Architecture shots.

I think the hardest part is to actually commit - get your gear ready, do some research - check for cloud coverage, research locations (things are different in summer/winter etc), and wake up early if you're chasing sunrises.

Once you take a couple of good shots it will work as encouragement to do more.

P.S. Having said that I am currently beiong lazy as f*ck and definitely need to go out and shoot more :o

Patience is key, I must've rattled off a good 250+ images just for that one shot, I was lucky a guy was there doing the same and said that often the best images are a good 20-30 minutes after sunset, as then you can run longer exposures that really bring everything out.
Plus having decent glass can make for hell of a difference as well, my 16-50mm is a good £1400 retail just for that last bit of quality.
