From an afternoon recently where there wasn’t rain… if anyone finds the sun please turn it back on :) #dartmoor #photography #landscape #blackandwhite

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!

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 beautifully moody conditions on yesterday afternoon’s dog walk #dartmoor #atmosphere #photography

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

The first set of riddles to find my Dartmoor photography book letterboxes… #dartmoor #dartmoornationalpark #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

It really was. 180 degrees the other way was sunshine 😂

Guided Photography Walk Join Tom Dauben, a Dartmoor based landscape photographer for a 3 hour guided photo walk taking in forest, river and a tor at sunset

Last week I hosted my first photo walk, helping people learn some techniques to take photos they’re happier with using a camera or a phone. If you missed it I’m doing it all again for Dartmoor Outdoor Festival: www.dartmooroutdoorfestival.co.uk/store/p42/ph... #dartmoor #devon #photography

Cheers Carl 🙌🙌

New copies of my book on their way… available on my website www.photographsbytom.com #dartmoor #devon #dartmoornationalpark

Across the sands of Uig

From a recent sunset. We’ve been treated to some great ones recently #dartmoor #nationalpark #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 tire of the colours of Dartmoor in a summer’s sunset #dartmoor #devon #sunset #photography

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

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

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.

Must try and recreate it up there myself some point :) lovely image!

One of those moments not to be forgotten #dartmoor #devon #photography #landscape #storm #weather
