South Devon: Kingsbridge and Start Point

Kingsbridge estuary, 31 January 2011

 

Looking east from Start Point

 

A month ago we had a short break in Devon, catching both coasts in a couple of days. We started in the south and on a glorious day enjoyed a walk from Hallsands to Start Point and on to Matticombe Beach.  There was a lovely light at the end of the day. I took these pictures on my iPhone, but most (in the days that follow) were on film – in black and white and colour.

There’s a nice walk to be had on a sunny day that takes in the Windrush valley as it passes through Swinbrook and Asthall, west of Witney and East of Burford

These pictures were taken with a Minolta Vectis S-1 APS SLR camera and outdated Activix 200 APS film.

Exposed normally, the pictures have come out quite grainy in these commercial scans. These scans were processed in ACR and Photoshop Elements to reduce noise and to despeckle, and then reduced in size by 50%
