It was selected as one of the runners up in the annual Alfred Vowles photography competition run by the Exmoor Society.
Nigel said, “The picture shows Robber’s Bridge with the small waterfall in the background taken in May 2022. I was standing in the river in my wellies, with my camera on a tripod.”
“For those interested in the technical aspects, the exposure time was 1/3 second, taken with a Canon 7D camera, ISO-100, F11, 21mm focal length.”
Robber’s Bridge is in the royal forest of Exmoor in the Doone Valley.
The 2022 competition was won by Graeme Filtness with a photograph of a male and female Stonechat.
