2020 Vision is a major photographic project which is hoped will establish a link between healthy ecosystems and healthy people. Over a 20 month period 20 photographers have carried out 20 assignments to make the most compelling case yet for rebuilding our natural home.
As well has having a vital message for the conservation of our planet many beautiful images were captured.
The National Forest, Leicester, England: Ross Hoddinott
This is a panoramic format and is a misty image of beech and oaks taken in Autumn with soft gentle lighting. It concentrates on just the trunks with some leaves. It would be a good image for the Autumn section of the portfolio.
Loch Beinn a Mhealdhoin, Glen Affric: Peter Cairns
Glen Affric is a location in Scotland that I have been keen to visit for many years, hopefully this wish will come to fruition next year. HerePete Cairns has captured an image of flat clam water with a wonderful reflection of trees spot lit by the sun and set against the dark shadows of the hillside behind.
Bluebell Wood in Spring, Hampshire, England: Guy Edwardes
An against the light image taken during the magic hour of sunrise or sunset has given the bluebells the puple colour of Heather.
Red Grouse on Heather Moorlands, Peak District, Derbyshire, England: Ben Hall
Here is a beautiful wide angle shot of a red grouse (remote capture?) set above the Hope Valley. The image appears to be taken at twilight with lights coming on in the valley. There are subtle cloud effectswith the red of sunset. The bird has been placed on the intersection of thirds.
Aerial View of Glen Feshie, Cairngorms, Scotland: Peter Cairns
I like this unusual view of Pete Cairn's home of Glen Feshie. There is no sky and it depicts the amazingle complicated channels of the River Feshie.
View from Blackbeck Tarn, Lake District: Benn Hall
Excellent detail in the clouds here (ND grad?). The beautiful moss and lichen covered rock in the foreground is on an intersection of thirds.
Ptarmigan in a Winter Landscape, Cairngorms, Scotland: Peter Cairns
Here Pete has conveyed the merest impression of snow covered mountains in the background much like the snow effect in Monet's Grain Stacks in Winter. This adds a sense of mystery to the scene. The bird on the snow-covered granite rock is on an intersection of thirds.
Scott's View at Sunrise, River Tweed, Scottish Borders: Joe Cornish
A wide angle shot showing a meander in the river. The hill in the background is beautifully warmly lit by the rising sun. Interestingly the river and the hill are both central in the image.
Lakenheath Fen at Sunrise, Suffolk, England: Terry Whitataker
Dead reeds against the light which is soft and golden. Mist rises above the reeds.
Sunset over The New Forest: Guy Edwardes
This image was obviously taken in late summer as the heather is in full bloom. Super colours and wonderful light in the sky. A tree is on a third.
Morecombe Bay at Sunrise: Peter Cairns
Another panoramic format from Pete Cairns. Water channels make excellent leading lines and provide perspective. There is a beautiful sky and subtle pink suffuses the whole image.
