Wiltshire Photographs

Roundway Hill Z793
Devizes, Wiltshire, England

I first photographed this view many years earlier on slide film, and knew that it deserved a re-visit with
my 39 megapixel camera. I came here last year and the conditions weren't right, but I planned to return
when they were, with a low sun. The cloud was perfect when I arrived, so I had to hurry without getting
excited. I used my own digital technique to ensure the grasses were sharp as well as the Beech trees
on the infinity mark. I then took 2 more shots to combine them later (known as focus stacking, to achieve
a really sharp image). The Trees and hill are the main subject, but the grasses and clouds are important
secondary elements. I'm delighted with the result - it was well worth the wait, and will print very large.
