ARTICLE: Dartmoor National Park

I recently left Barcelona for several days and returned back home to the England. We spent a couple of days walking around Dartmoor National Park which is 954 square kilometres (368 sq mi) of open moorland and can be found in the south-west of England.

I took a single lens, and one that you wouldn't generally consider for landscape photography, but I decided to challenge myself with a 50mm (75mm full-frame). To take full advantage of the low depth of field it can provide, I attached a neutral density filter to the front to counter the the over-exposure that low apertures can cause in bright daylight, and yes, the weather was surprisingly warm and sunny!

So that was the challenge, to use a reasonably narrow, fixed focal length lens and using predominantly a low depth of field. Below is a nice example I've selected and the ten choice others can be seen here on the website.
