    'Angel's Well', shot in Cornwall, The United Kingdom. This shot was the result of standing in icy water for over 90 minutes. I discovered this waterfall quite by chance. Hidden at the end of a long woodland walk in an overlooked valley, this waterfall is nothing short of beautiful. With only a prime lens attached to my camera, to achieve this shot I had to bear the bitterly cold spray and set up camp in the icy water. It took over an hour and a half to wait for the right cloud coverage to soften the light and paint this scene. Despite not being able to walk properly due to my feet turning a white shade of blue this photograph was worth all the effort. by: lewistolputt Views[89] 'Crescent', shot in Cornwall, The United Kingdom. This shot has a very special place in my heart. I had heard about Porth Navern in Cornwall but had never visited it before. On the day of buying my new Nikon D700 camera I headed down to this hidden bay with great hope. Not really knowing how to use this specific camera I set the D700 to it's most basic mode and attached me cable release. After a little wondering around I found this viewpoint. I wanted to document a magical moment like no other but convey a sense of perspective of life. After one of the most epic sunsets I had ever seen I was very happy. I love how the smallest element in this shot is the most influential. Without the moon the tides would not change, coastal erosion would be significantly different and the egg shaped boulders here would not exist. This is one of my most treasured photographs. by: lewistolputt Views[85]
