Inspired by the sea - Slapton Sands

Slapton Sands Torcross, by Dartmouth Fine Art Landscape Photographer

Image Title: Ethereal Mist
Fine Art Landscape Photographer: Craig Howarth

This image was taken at dawn, when there was just me and a fishing trawler at Torcross. This makes me feel very special as we were both out there doing what we love, makes me feel like I'm feeding my soul as an artist. Great to experience such freedom and passion.

The lighting was perfect to give the sheen on the pebbles I had been trying to gain on previous visits. The sea was gently lapping at the shoreline just enough for me to get these nice deep grey tones at the top right of the image, and the bright highlights of the moving foam which looks like sea mist. The image was appropriately named "Ethereal Mist".

Slapton Sands Torcross Dartmouth

Image Title: The Wash Two
Fine Art Landscape Photographer: Craig Howarth

I often get asked how well timed my shots look and how close I must have got to the action. Well as this image shows I do actually like to get very involved in making my images.

This storm energised wave engulfed me and my tripod, to such an extent it did look like I was actually out at sea for a couple of seconds. Luckily my camera kit bag was a way up on the pebbles away from me!

The Wash Two is part of a series of images from that powerful and dramatic day, The Surf 2  and The Wash can be viewed by following these links.

Kingswear from Dartmouth - Inspired by the Sea

Still Waters, by Dartmouth Fine Art Landscape Photographer

Kingswear from Dartmouth
Image Title: Still Waters
Fine Art Landscape Photographer: Craig Howarth

Different from some of my recent work, as I have included many man made objects in this photograph of Kingswear, something I usually hike miles to get away from. However the lighting was so dramatic and the water was so still I couldn't resist getting this shot on a late spring afternoon, on my way back from Castle Cove, Dartmouth.

There is something very hypnotic about waiting for clouds to move into place sat at the waters edge, boats fenders rumbling as they softly impact each other moved by the changing tide.

Morzine in Winter

Fine Art Landscape Photographer Craig Howarth's control centre!!!

Morzine in Winter
Fine Art Landscape Photographer: Craig Howarth

It is very strange editing & finalising snow images from my last trip to the French Alps ( Morzine ) when here in Devon we are having our summer!!! Apparently 21 degrees at present, which is mind boggling after the July and August we had. Here I am, remembering avalanches and sub zeros temperatures that even tested my powerful reserve to the cold on this trip.

In between editing I have read a great article by Monty Halls ( http://www.montyhalls.co.uk/ ) about the Great Barrier Reef in one of the most inspiring magazines on sale Wanderlust...

What more could you ask for on a sunny Friday afternoon...

Thanks for reading, my winter images will be available sometime next month, in the meantime to view more of my Fine Art landscape photography please visit:

Slapton Sands Torcross Storms

Fine Art Landscape Photographer: Craig Howarth

This is the type of weather I'm so excited to see again hopefully this autumn. Stormy, dramatic and fast moving skies coupled with stunning rough seas. These are the conditions that really gets your heart pumping as you hear the waves crashing against the the tiny pebbles along the Slapton Sands beach.

I have spent most of this weekend finding new locations around Dartmouth, Castle Cove and then up to Little Dartmouth for my new collection of images. With the correct weather conditions,  and the official start to Autumn on 21st September I really can't wait to start shooting my new planned images!!! With a full moon on the 29th I think this will be the perfect time...

Compass Cove Dartmouth

Compass Cove Dartmouth by Dartmouth Artist & Photographer

Compass Cove Dartmouth 
Image Title: Leading
Fine Art Landscape Photographer: Craig Howarth

This image is part of my new collection "The Blue".

This image was a difficult image to capture, one I have tried to get many times. I wanted the rocks to be wet from the surf ( not rain ) but the waves gentle enough that they don't move the pebbles. This was a late spring evening and the perfect time, the tide was retreating but still giving a couple of powerful waves that glazed my rock perfectly. The late setting sun perfectly highlighting the shapes of the rocks to create this stunning image "Leading".
