A TALENTED photographer is using his digital skills to create stunning panoramic views of iconic locations in Dorset.

One of the most recent works of Pete Scott of Naturehawk Photography shows a magical and atmospheric image of Corfe Castle.

The late-night 12-photo panoramic image shows the castle silhouetted against the light mist and is illuminated by the Corfe village street lights.

Another stunning image is of the idyllic location of Lulworth Cove. Again it is a 12 photo panoramic shot and was taken from the central cliff top.

Speaking about his work, Pete said: “Both of the images are a series of around 12 images moving from one side to the other that were then digitally stitched together with editing software.

“It just creates a wider field of view for the viewer to see, a panoramic view. It also means that it is packed full of detail when you zoom in to it.

“The Corfe shot was taken at around 10.30pm on Saturday, February 18 from the top of adjacent West Hill. There was a little atmospheric mist in the air which helped to create an eerie glow from the Corfe village lights, which in turn, helped to create a silhouette of the Castle ruins.

“The Lulworth image was created the same way except this was at around 6.45am the following day on Sunday, February 19. Even though it was a relatively dull sky with a lot of cloud cover, the waters positively glowed azure blue/green.”

Pete has also been getting creative with numerous time-lapse videos and has videoed locations such as Old Harry Rocks and Corfe Castle.

The videos can be viewed on Naturehawk Photography’s Facebook page or on the Dorset Echo website.

Pete added: “It is very difficult finding the time to get the time-lapse videos and photographs as most of my time is filled up being a single parent to my amazing 12-year-old daughter and running my own business Naturally Tiled that helps to feed local homeless people.

“I’ve also recently set up a local altruistic builders initiative which helps to modify or improve the homes of Dorset families who have terminally ill children.”
