1 ‘Lone Tree in the Devon Countryside’ 1 by Daryl Baker

“This is a favourite local spot of mine and I usually try to visit when the forecast is for mist and fog. One morning, I decided to head down before sunrise to try to capture the early spring colours and golden hues. The conditions worked out perfectly that morning with the golden light mixing with the shadows and rolling countryside. The main subject I wanted to capture was the single tree standing alone on the crest of the hill – I’ve captured a few wide-angle shots of this tree in the past but this time, I was aiming for a more unique take. For me, this image depicts my passion for landscape photography.

“Devon has lots of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the view of this landscape shows this off. I recently bought a new DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone and its three lenses offer different focal lengths.

“For this shot, I chose to use the 70mm zoom to achieve this more cropped-in, layered landscape composition. This gives the image more depth and showcases the lone tree in all its solitude.
