A copse of trees on Pewsey Hill in Wiltshire.
Ps - While I'm thinking about landscapes and art, I went to London last Saturday with my wife to see the David Hockney exhibition. He's taken over the whole of the Royal Academy and it's an absolutely inspiring and breathtaking set of work that he's produced over the last 7 years.
It's on until the 9th April and is well worth a visit if you get the chance.
Like what you see here and are interested in photographic composition?.....the blog section of my website now has a complete set of 5 articles covering my personal approach to the subject: Ian Bramham Photography - Blog
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to my website Ian Bramham - Fine Art Photography where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.
@Andrew Atkinson: Hi Andrew - re the Hockney exhibition - he had ipad drawings printed at two widely different sizes. There were lots (more than 50!) of the 5 foot tall ones that you will have seen in the Marr interview but there are also a few much bigger ones of Yosemite that are printed on 6 sheets stuck together to make an overall print that is about 12' x 9'. It's clear that the ipad and the "Brushes" software are suited to Hockney's style as they are a very coherent part of the overall exhibition.
Hockney said in that TV interview that when he was using the ipad he was conscious of the size which they would be printed at and you can see how that knowledge has affected the drawing in the small scale of some of the detail - he will have done a lot of zooming in and out on the small screen of the ipad.
The overriding feeling that I got from the exhibition was one of real joy and a sense of an almost youthful exuberance in his latest art - particularly his latest large scale oil paintings like this one: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&client=firefox-a&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&biw=1013&bih=488&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=HtOl8ipJKw27ZM:&imgrefurl=http://art-landscape.blogspot.com/2012/01/hockney-sketchbooks-ipad-sketching-and.html&docid=IDFfpkIkv7eDBM&imgurl=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--NjJT1zMhtc/TxijTaGxMbI/AAAAAAAAPGY/3uNbDOfmki0/s1600/Key-41-web.jpg&w=500&h=225&ei=tINYT6PTLYnY8APB-eCUDw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=370&vpy=170&dur=4817&hovh=150&hovw=335&tx=82&ty=169&sig=116424556804374415526&page=1&tbnh=87&tbnw=193&start=0&ndsp=11&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0
Hockney is 74 years old and is producing his most spellbinding and energetic, vibrant work. It gives hope to all of us as we get older that we will be able to continue to improve in whatever field of art we have chosen.
