I think the weather put most people off, and I can’t say I blame them!

It was a a dreary, wet and foggy evening on Thursday when we met at Minions and decided to head for the quarry near the Caradon Hill Transmitter, from there we carried on towards the disused mine-stacks that litter the landscape.

It really does give the area an eerie feeling when you can hardly see anything in-front of you and photographically speaking can be seen as both a pro and a con, the con being that you can’t take in any grand vistas, but the pro being that you can isolate subjects and remove distractions from the frame.

At least we managed to find our way off the moorland with the only casualty being an umbrella which caught a full gust of wind and was ripped inside-out!
