I don’t really like gardening, though I can appreciate a nice garden…. So I’m not sure what it is that always draws me to photograph glasshouses… hey ho. #gardening #notgardening #fujfilm

‘Horseshit’: I gave my verdict to Sky News on the Great Dartmoor Pony Cull Conspiracy of 2026 - a conspiracy theory grounded in nonsense, that’s festered on Musk’s hellsite & been supercharged today by the Tories - to distract from the fact nature on Dartmoor is dying: news.sky.com/story/horseh...

'Horsehs*t': Campaigners and government reject rumours of forced Dartmoor pony 'cull'

Natural England has ordered a 75% cut to livestock numbers on Dartmoor in a bid to tackle overgrazing. A group that represents livestock owners warns it will mean a dramatic reduction in the number of...

Somewhat ironic to post a rainy window photo of Dartmoor just after a heatwave, but let's go with it #ricoh #dartmoor #badweather #nationalpark

Just returned home from a trip to the Cairngorms National Park. I know the West Coast of Scotland so much more, so it was great to explore a 'new' place. The biodiversity on show in the area we visited was incredible. Plenty of photos to share soon #cairngorms #photography #scotland

Mollinia, a grass that causes problems all over Dartmoor, smothering pretty much everything else. Yet it still has some hidden beauty when you examine it up close. #dartmoor #environment #photography

Last night’s snow moon. So beautiful. Can’t believe it’s February already, though!

Tom Dauben @tomdauben.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

I’ve just spotted! Thanks. Yeah, all the remaining copies were in a pop up in Exeter, so I had to wait until that finished to be able to add the last few to my website. 2 left now. Will get it posted tomorrow hopefully

Very kind of you, thank you!

Thanks Jon! I was lucky with being able to watch it come towards me, but somehow not get wet… magic :)

Some experimentation from 2025…. I’ve not done much intentional camera movement before. I think landscape photography can be ‘too perfect’ at times, so letting go was really liberating. More coming in 2026! #intentionalcameramovement #icm #cornwall #photography

The last sunset of 2025… I’ll try and catch up with some photos from recent(ish) adventures on here. Loved the pastel colours of the sky and the way the hills rolled into the distance #sunset #photography #dartmoor

I went out in some ‘typical Dartmoor weather’ the other day attempting to see what images could be created in the mist. Rather pleased with the atmosphere in this one. #dartmoor #misty #dartmoornationalpark #photography #devon

Realised I hadn’t posted this to BlueSky… I’ve hidden 5 copies of my book on Dartmoor as letterboxes. Riddles to help with their whereabouts in the next few posts I’ll make. The Postbridge one has been found. Happy hunting! #dartmoor #devon #dartmoornationalpark

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the colours of Dartmoor in a summer’s sunset #dartmoor #devon #sunset #photography

Sunset on Dartmoor National park. Sidelit rocky outcrops with golden light. A small path leads through grasses, past some grazing sheep up to a distant tor.

I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of watching water. This stuff is beautiful, the patterns and textures it created, and the way they reflect light and create shadow. #water #patterns. #nature #photography #coniston

Patterns of rippled water with one single sprig of leaves floating in the centre of the image

Rippled water with light reflecting and darker shadowy areas creating contract and variation

Gentle ripples, with smooth, rounded peaks and troughs, resulting in gently diffused light

The photo that changed everything. Since then I’ve not cropped, straightened, or edited in any way. I’ve learnt a lot in the intervening 7 years about how to evolve the craft of images made in camera, but it stated here #dartmoor #cottongrass #madeincamera #landscape #photography #nature

Just before or just after is always a fun time to have a camera out.

Thanks Alan. If I’m honest, I don’t recall, it’s from donkeys years ago. It may have had a soft 0.9 grad.

I often play the ‘Choose which boat you’d like to own’ game when sat by the water. This was my choice on our Lake District trip recently. It looks beautiful in the golden hour light #ambleside #windermere #yacht #sunset #lakedistrict

Always a nice walk along there. Lots of bird life and so many nicely framed little views out over the town

I’ve been working with Moor Trees to capture the great work they do to create woodland on Dartmoor. My images have been used to in new engagement materials, displays and feature in their impact report. They were on show on Friday at their 25th anniversary party #moortrees #forest #trees #devon

On 1st August I’m co-hosting a walk in one of Dartmoor’s rainforests with lichenologist April Windle. We’ll get people out, noticing nature and photographing details. This is all to support Moor Trees as part of their 25th anniversary celebrations. Sign up here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/explore-th...
