Bruce Little Landscape Photographs

Bruce Little Landscape Photographs Occasional landscape photographer from Devon with a passion for Dartmoor & Devon photography. Oh, and the occasional foray or two on the Malvern Hills. Thanks.

I could not give two hoots about NFTs so please don't waste your time messaging me about them. Welcome to my landscape photography page. My name is Bruce Little and I love photography and the outdoors. With my photography I aim to capture the feeling of being at my favourite places. Therefore my goal is to display my photos in as natural a way as possible. I do have two exceptions to this. I am pa

rtial to both long exposure photography and black and white photography. Each of these styles allow me the freedom to portray a scene in a more artistic way. If you would like one, my photos are available to buy and I will produce high quality prints on request. If you have a question about anything, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I will reply as soon as possible.

Not quite what I expected to find today. I was mowing the lawn and suddenly found myself surrounded by bees. Tree bumble bees to be precise, but I didn't know that at the time and I beat a hasty retreat.

The nesting box in our front garden doesn't have its resident blue t**s this year, but has been taken over by tree bumble bees. I read that the males don't have stingers but do get somewhat annoyed by lawn mowers, so no-mow June and July is coming up as, apparently, the colonies disperse naturally in summer once the females have emerged and the mating season ends.

As I've said before, I'm not a massive fan of bluebell photography. But, as I was in the Malverns again this weekend, I couldn't resist the short drive from mum's to this scene. I didn't know exactly what I was going to get and this compo was a chance discovery.

The photo doesn't show how flippin' steep this path is but, once my breathing had recovered (!), I had a great 30 minutes or so playing with compositions.

This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite hills in the Malverns.

I don't normally do bluebells but, on an evening walk in the Malvern Hills, sans camera, I came across this field of them. Noting that the slope was west facing I thought I'd come back the next day an hour or so after sunrise when the sun was cresting the hill and lighting up the flowers

Well, I turned up an hour after sunrise and the sun was nowhere near high enough so I went back to base for breakfast, and to natter to mum. Then I lost track of time. By the time I came back about two and a half hours later, the sun was higher than I wanted it to be. Nevertheless, an hour playing with different compositions delivered a few photos I'm happy with.

Revisiting my weekend in the lakes a fortnight ago. This is Rampsholme Island on Derwent Water catching the early rays of the sun in front of a low band of mist and the distant crags beyond.

I may have landed a kayak on there a year or so ago on a family holiday but it's strange how different it looks from a different viewpoint.

Looking back at these photos makes me want to go back. Again. It's only been two weeks.

No prizes for originality with this one, but no apologies from me either. When in Rome, or Keswick in this instance, do what the photographers do.

This is a pretty standard composition of Derwent Island and Catbells from Hope Park. It's often a case of finding a spot next to another photographer and hoping for good conditions.

I've yet to get a version of this view that I'm totally happy with. This was my second attempt on this particular weekend away. The previous day was far too foggy and this morning was a little hazy. Nonetheless it's probably the best version I have of this view so far.

If and when I'm back in Keswick I'll be there among the other tripods having another go.

While I was waiting for the fog to lift at Derwent Water last weekend, these two Canada geese swam across the frame. I took the opportunity for a minimalist shot with the fence poles, normally a lead in to a view of Derwent Isle and Catbells, adding a little bit of reflecting foreground interest.

Not my normal thing but I like it

St. Herbert's Island in the mist

I was up in Keswick last weekend with friends. The focus was on socialising and walking but I couldn't resist rising early and heading to the shores of Derwent Water to check out the sunrise conditions.

After an initial whiteout with thick mist, the rising sun worked its magic, burning off some of the mist and lighting up the slopes of Catbells.

I wondered what a reflection shot, focusing on the island and excluding any sky might look like. This is the result. I may post a wider context shot later.

Black Tor in northern living up to its name on Sunday afternoon.

This was taken on the return leg of a circular family walk to make the most of a rainless afternoon. We knew it'd been too long since we last went on a family walk when two teenage boys extricated themselves from their PC game playing and actually wanted to join us. In the real world and all that.

The afternoon light catching the foreground while the tor was in shade caught my eye so I had to stop and take this
