Photographing the photographers

A light dusting of snow, blue sky and bright sun all suggested that the Malvern Hills would be a suitable destination for walking and a little photography. Others clearly had the same thoughts and so one of my subjects was the photographers with cameras and phones. This is the best of my shots mainly because it's quite simple and I can imagine a little dialogue going on between the subject (left) the photographer (right) and the dog with the hang-dog appearance (centre) being banished from the composition.

Malvern Hills with snow remnants

Our relocation from Lincolnshire to Herefordshire coincided with the snowiest winter of recent years. There have been three substantial falls, all of which have left remnants, usually drifts, that have lingered. A recent sunny morning in late March found us walking along the crest of the Malvern Hills enjoying the views and braving the icy wind. From the Iron Age hill fort known as British Camp I took this shot along the Hills. The light gave the view an appearance of spring but the temperature, the patches of snow and the muted colours told only of late winter.
