Late afternoon light, Ross on Wye


I imagine that more people than not regret the changes that late autumn and winter bring to the light that we experience on a daily basis. Gone is the sharp brilliance from on high. Now it is less bright and the lower position of the sun means it is often tinged with a yellow hue. Moreover, the shadows are longer and deeper. To most photographers, however, these are things to relish. If you add to the mix the more moisture-laden skies of our islands then soft, more muted images become possible. That is probably what appeals to me about this photograph of Ross on Wye taken from near the river.
