SHANGRALA'S

BEAUTIFUL ENGLAND!


      This collection of photographs is from the awesome photographer Kris Dutson. He spends hours researching the best locations to capture cloud pictures. He carries meteorological charts and a sun compass with him and will patiently wait for clouds to break before capturing the perfect shot.
      Kris, from Compton Valence, near Dorchester, Dorset in South West England, scours the countryside for the most beautiful and interesting scenes to shoot. He sometimes waits for months on end before returning to a particular spot at the right time of year to catch these astonishing images.

Here's Pictures Of Dutson's Amazing Photography. Enjoy! :)

      One of his incredible photos shows a perfectly-formed rainbow stretching across vivid green fields, glowing in front of a moody grey sky.

      Storm clouds gather: Rain approaching the cliffs at Burton Bradstock in south west Dorset. Patient Kris often waits for hours before taking a photograph.

      Red sky at night: The sun sets over Colmer' Hill in Bridport, Dorset with a covering of cloud overhead. The beautiful glowing skyline was caused by the ash cloud which caused airline chaos.

      Beauty spot: Stunning picture of Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast at dusk as rain clears. The site attracts one million visitors a year - but few see a sunset as beautiful as this.

      Dark skies: Rain clouds gather over the Mynydd Moel mountain in the Cader Idris range in north Wales. The top of the mountain is completely covered.

      Dramatic scene: A rainbow at the Devils Dyke near Brighton West Sussex.
      Father-of-four Kris, who has been a photographer for 30 years, said: 'I must be one of the only people in the country hoping for rain. 'I like a nice bright, sunny day to go to the beach, but when I hear people grumbling about the forecast I do rub my hands together with glee.'
      'My pictures are all based around the weather and the atmosphere it creates - it's absolutely key. If it's bright and sunny with blue skies, most people can take a nice picture but they're quite bland. But the moody weather enhances the landscape and gives it a feeling. Dark clouds and patchy sunlight makes it atmospheric.'

      The white cliffs of Sussex: A storm clearing from the Seven Sisters cliffs near Eastbourne on the English Coast.
      'I travel around Dorset a lot and whenever I come across a location I think might work for a picture I mark it on my sat nav. I carry a sun compass, which looks like a credit card with marks around the side, which will tell me what time the sun rises and sets at each point throughout the year.'
      'Sometimes I think a particular shot will work at dawn, but the sun might not be in the right place for the next six months, so I'll make a note of it in my diary and come back.'
      'I'll check the weather forecast to see when there will be the right conditions, such as dark clouds in the sky. Sometimes the weather doesn't play ball, so I'll go back the following year.'
      'I can't compromise or cut corners, so there's a lot of planning and science behind each shot. I need to be very patient, but it's worth it. Getting the right shot on the day can take anywhere between minutes and hours. I'm very lucky.'
