Devon/Cornwall- Waterscapes

This is a collection of pictures that i have taken of water landscapes around Devon and Cornwall


This picture shows a lovely view of Teignmouth, it shows a lot of detail as it shows where the estuary meets the sea. It shows a typical sea side town in Devon where many tourists visit. The picture is taken from a cliff called 'The Ness' opposite Teignmouth.


I took this photograph in Lands End in the most southern part of Cornwall or even the UK. This picture has a lot of potential, i took it on a beautiful summers day which makes it look like it could be another country. The different contrasts of colours shown from the sea and the sand makes the picture look exotic.

This photograph taken from the bottom corner of the beach shows not only the water part of the beach but also shows the surrounding hills around it. The photograph also shows how busy the beach can be during the summer.


I like this picture as it has shown where the sea has been, when the tide was in. Little streams of water going back down into the sea. It shows the old and very small town which shows the little life at Lands End. The different contrasts of the water, sand, land and sky make this picture successful.



This photo, possibly the best photograph i have taken of a water landscape. I took it at the top of the hill by a carpark. It shows what the end of the country looks like.




This photograph again taken from the hill tops. Looks like another country, it makes me appreciate what i have to live in, in the Westcountry.





I Think this photo worked out really effectively, i took this out of the window of my car. It shows the sky reflecting of the sea which makes the sea look a very light blue colour. The sand in this picture looks almost white which makes it again look like a tropical beach.




This picture shows the magnificent Red Arrows over the hills of Dartmouth. It looks very good as i caught them as they had there coloured smoke turned on.








I took this photo of the back of my dads boat in Brixham Marina. It works really well with the shadows and reflections on the water and the hills in the backround.







I took this Sunset picture on Shaldon beach, it shows the estuary and Teignmouth in the backround. This picture looks very settled as it was taken at dusk. I used my 5 megapixel camera on my phone for this picture and it came out surprisingly well.




This picture came out slightly better then the one above. It shows the suns reflection on the water and it is also looking more up the estuary showing more detail.









This picture i took on my phone looks unusual and mysterious. I took it from the cliff face in a location in devon. It came out not as clear as i hoped it would but this could be a good thing as it gave it unusual detail. It also has a light and dark feature about it.




The artist reference i am going to link to this blog is a well know photographer called Jen Bryant. Many pieces of her work are similar to mine.

  1. Hey Chris. You got some nice photos here man. I've never been to either Cornwall or Devon but have heard quite a lot about them.
