Nature's Pencil: Inspiration: Joe Cornish
Joe Cornish is an example of the uncompromising type of landscape photographer for whom nothing less then a 5"x4" original can hold enough detail, and nothing but a field camera with a full range of lens movements can properly transcribe the beauty of the natural world.
His fame comes from his prestigious appointment as one of the official photographers of the National Trust, though of course, it is his talent that earned him that position.
He favours a wide-angle view. His images are recognisable by their great depth, dramatic lighting, rich colour, precise framing, painstaking attention to the tiniest details, and well orchestrated clouds (!)
This image, from his book "First Light" is his interpretation of Buachaille Etive Mor on Rannoch Moor in the Scottish Highlands.
