Pretty Cottage on Chilbolton Cow Common SSSI Hampshire

I don’t often manage to track down my photographs sold through a stock agency. Mainly down to time, and finding out about the sale after the magazine is taken off of the shelves. So it’s always nice to stumble across my work in print, especially if it’s a front cover.

Country Life 2011

The photograph was taken on a warm June evening in 2007 on Chilbolton Cow Common. The river test meanders it’s way through here on it’s way to Stockbridge, and then on South towards the sea. The Common lies between the villages of Chilbolton and Wherwell and is a great place to see a variety of birds, fish and wildflowers. The Yellow Flag Iris, seen in the photo, line the banks of the Test through out the summer months.

For more photographs of the Cow Common see the Hampshire Gallery.

Porlock Weir, Exmoor.

It’s still gives me a great feeling to see my work in print, especially a cover shot.

Somerset Life Magazine have used my picture of Porlock Weir in Exmoor National Park for the front cover of their July 2010 issue, out now. The photograph was taken on a very sunny and warm September day back in 2007.

Later that day I went on to take photographs from Bossington Hill at sunset which are currently with the National Trust Photo Library and can be viewed here and by searching ‘simon tranter somerset’.
