Up North...

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 8, 2008, 7:30 AM
Have just got back from a long weekend in North Yorkshire.

I didn't have much choice when I went, due to work etc. and too my horror I discovered it was high tide at sunrise and sunset - curses! Plus, of course, there was also a large storm front coming in that weekend which meant that the weather was dreadful, and the high seas were even higher than normal.

I've basically spent the last 3 days being freezing cold and soaking wet... and I'm not even sure if I got any good photos to show for it. One of my main reasons for going was to try and photograph the Black Nab & possibly the shipwreck at Saltwick Bay, sadly the very high tides meant all I saw of the Black Nab was a little tiny bit poking up through the waves, and no chance of getting to the shipwreck. A very uncomfortable shoot indeed, spent more time cleaning my filters and emptying freezing cold sea water out of my wellies than I did photographing :-(

Oh well, way it goes! Beautiful part of the world however, am sure I'll be back again at some point.

Fingers crossed I managed to get something half decent - it's just finished transfering the last of the files over... time to find out!

    Your pictures are absolutely fantastic.

    You really know how to capture the sky and sun at the right time.

    I really enjoyed looking through, and instead of me faving almost everything I will keep an eye on you

    Thank you for introducing me to your wonderful gallery.

    Cheers Jonathan,

    You can find some good locations around here, but you've got to work at it. I tend to get over excited if I find a bit of wood on the shore... or even a stone!

    As far as sand and mud goes though we've got lots! As it's so flat you really need a good sky in my experience.

    You've got some cracking photos there. My girlfriend lives in Suffolk and I foolishly dismissed it as no good for landscapes because there's no hills, but clearly I was just not looking hard enough. I have been spoiled by Lancashire and the Lakes.
