WALKERS


WALKERS, originally uploaded by foto-art.

Walkers on moorland near the Cat and Fiddle Inn, near Derbyshire, England. This was a spontaneous shot taking shortly after the picture of the posts a few images below. The moorland here is bleak: there are no trees or bushes, just a path along which these two people happened to be walking. I put the camera virtually on the ground for a very low viewpoint which made the walkers stand out against the horizon. I also used a primary red filter to increase the contrast, giving the shot more drama. In fact there is something slightly menacing about this shot: the people remain anonymous and vague in a very bleak landscape which is made even more bleak by the lack of colour.
