David Noton’s Dorset
The award-winning, globe-trotting photographer points his camera at Dorset in the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Published in November ’11
Milborne Port-based photographer, David Noton, started his business in 1985 with a bicycle, a student overdraft and an Olympus OM1n camera. The multiple prize-winning photographer has since travelled the world, and of course all over Dorset.
In response to a request from Dorset Life, in this issue he tries to capture in photographs the sentiment expressed by John Donne in the words:
‘No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace,
As I have seen in one autumnal face.’
The Blackmore Vale from Hambledon Hill
Stormy seas at Man o' War Bay, Jurassic Coast
Crepuscular colours in the Cerne Valley
Taken on a misty morning on farmland near Sherborne
Angry seas and patchy sunlight at Portland Bill
Raking evening light on a fossil on the beach at Charmouth with Golden Cap beyond
Morning mist across North Dorset from Hambledon Hill
Sherborne Old Castle in the mist at dawn
Trees turning as true autumn arrives at Minterne Magna
