Quarts Moor, Blackdown Hills
Autumn at Quarts Moor
Quarts Moor has quickly become one of my favourite woods in Somerset for autumn colours. This photograph was taken at the peak of the season as a storm was approaching. It was windy and drizzly, meaning that daylight was in short supply. The muted light of the afternoon was perfect for the subject matter though, and I didn't mind the windy conditions because it created movement in the branches of the trees. I used this to my advantage by taking a long exposure several seconds long, allowing the leaves to appear blurred in a painterly fashion while the mature beech trees were static.
