So a couple of days later, I met up with Adam Burton again, this time in the heart of Dartmoor at 4:30am! We drove up to a hill overlooking Chagford as the forecast had been for mist and we were lucky to find plenty of mist hanging in the valleys. Unfortunately as sunrise approached the clouds closed in from the horizon and the sun never quite landed where we were hoping but I still got a lovely few shots that I was happy with.
After the sun had risen we moved to a second location in Dartmoor, a beautiful parade of trees on either side of the road. The sun was still low enough in the sky that we had some stunning side light on the trees. This was probably my most favourite location and where I learned the most about composition from Adam - constantly tweaking to include or exclude small elements.
I definitely need breakfast and a coffee by the end but a great couple of trips out with Adam.

A huge thank you to Adam Burton (www.adamburtonphotography.com) for taking me to all these locations and his help and advice in getting seven shots that I was delighted with.
