Was taken on a 6 hour trial walk on Dartmoor with a fundraising challenge in mind. Great weather.  Took my Fuji compact as I wanted to grab some flavour shots but knew I wouldn’t have time to hang about taking careful shots and didn’t want to carry a bigger camera anyway. Most of them do the job, but had a look through to see if  any have artistic merit. The carpet of gold sycamore leaves caught my eye on the one above.

I quite like the moodiness of this one (and it’s always easier to get a shot when pausing to admire the view than walking at full speed!

This one is my homage to the iconic Buzz Aldrin moonboot print – the bootprints of my two walking companions. Although as I (think I) know from the lecture last night it’s an iconic sign in that it bears a resemblance to the boot, but it’s an indexical sign because it is caused by the action of the boot, and maybe a sinsign because it’s a singular instance rather than created according to a rule. Or something like that. It was late. But very interesting!
