Dunstable Downs

Thank you very much to Herb for inviting me to join the 'UK Landscape Photography Group'.

It's gone midnight here, so it was yesterday afternoon that I decided to go to Dunstable Downs via the Whipsnade Tree Cathedral. When I arrived at the Tree Cathedral, I looked around the car and I couldn't see my camera bag! Started to panic a bit but then realised that I had been so pre-occupied with making a hot flask of coffee and finding an extra layer of clothing in case it was going to be cold that I didn't pick up the bag. Felt really stupid :-)

There wasn't really time to go back home but I did have my phone with me so the only option was to use the phone camera and this, thankfully, saved the day :-)

Will be doing a Check List before going out next time :-)

Thank goodness for the phone cameras, this would be hard to miss out on. Very striking cloud shapes and a grand tree, perfect. Thanks for your comment on my phone shot.

Yes, phone cameras are indispensable these days :-) Thank you for complimenting my photo, Colin.

A lovely scene and a great sky. I find it reassuring that I'm not the only one with forgetfulness problems. :-)

Welcome to the group Roger. As Colin above says, the phone has proved a good replacement in an emergency. Very nice sky here and I always like to see a tree like this in the frame.

Best Wishes and thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Thanks very much for the welcome, Herb. I shall also make doubly sure that I have my phone with me in case I am daft enough to leave my camera behind again!
And, thank you for complimenting my photo, Herb.

The big sky is fantastic, a very well framed shot. No matter the camera what counts is the eye of the photographer!
Haha, I can relate to what happened, I also have been searching for things I left at home;-)

Simply wonderful...and looking at that beautiful sky, the movie "The Sheltering Sky" came to my mind.

Muy bella esta toma, así que, a pesar del despiste y contrariedad, efectivamente el día se salvó. Todos tenemos despistes y , a veces, graves. Yo hace poco inicie mi viaje a Portugal en Zamora, estuve "sacando" algunas fotos y si que me aparecía un punto rojo, pero yo ni caso. En un momento dado voy a revisar una foto y compruebo, con pánico, que estaba sin tarjetas de memoria. Hacia poco había llevado a limpiar el sensor y extraje las tarjetas que luego se me olvidó reponer. Zamora es una pequeña población y solo había una tienda que vendía algo de material fotográfico. Me salvé por poco. Que disfrutes del fin de semana.

Thank you very much for complimenting my photo, Marije. Appreciated. I can fully understand your panic, Marije and very pleased to read that you were able to find the only store in town that sold some photographic equipment! Reminds me of some occasions many, many, many years ago in the days of film when I would meet my late brother-in-law to take photos and he had forgotten to put a film in the camera! And, he didn't have any films in his camera bag! And, we were miles from anywhere!
Have a lovely Sunday, Marije
