Kozfest is a small (500 tickets only) annual festival of psychedelic music held in very rural Devon. I was there again this past weekend and it was just as much a friendly party as last year. I took lots of photos but have chosen this one for my first post.
The sunset the previous night was a spectacular red affair that, with my camera left in the car, I was unable to capture. Anticipating a repeat of the display I waited with camera in hand for the show to start although it didn't and the few shots I'd taken while waiting I didn't think would aspire to much.
When I processed them, however, I saw some merit in a set of five portraits images I'd taken as a stitch and this is the result:

The landscapes I took of the same scene missed the drama of the big sky that only the wide portraits reached into.
Now I know some would prefer it without the tents and campers but it was a) impossible without a very long selfie stick and b) a good record of the event so I'm happy.
Cheers,
John
