theAdhocracy | The landscapes of South England

Whilst archiving an old copy of Digital Photographer I came across a profile of North Devon photographer Ross Hoddinott. His work stood out as just exceptional landscapes from areas I love and he's clearly still going strong. Here are some of my favourites (click to see the high-res originals on Ross' site):

Wooden groyne looking out to sea with a metal rod at the end, very symettrical and moody. — View out to sea along a groyne at Swanage Bay. I love the moodiness, contrast, and symmetry here.

Looking over the sea to an island with a castle on top, colourful skies, and calm waters. — St Michael's Mount is a personal favourite location but this adds a real sense of place and fantasy to it.

A small waterfall in a mountain stream with stone cross leaning to one side in the background at sunset. — The Windy Post in Dartmoor is a great location and whilst the image is a bit over-processed for me the framing is spot on.

A small clump of reeds is silhouetted against a misty lake and sunrise with beautiful but cold colours and the hint of a shoreline in the distance. — There's no denying how lovely this view of Lower Tamar Lake in Cornwall is, though it was actually a different but similar photo I was trying to find from the magazine. Still, this captures the colours and stillness so well!

Two adorable harvest mice sitting on an ear of corn bending under their weight, tails wrapping around the stalk, as one sniffs the air. — So. Damn. Adorable 😍🐭 Harvest mice are very photogenic, but there's something even more captivating than usual here, so perfectly focused.
