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!

Yorkshire must be an interesting place to shoot...Have you seen the Mark Denton book "The Yorkshire Coast"?
It's a great book, and has some wonderful images of the places you mentioned. There are some images in his online gallery here [link]

You can never rely on the British weather! Hopefully summer won't be too long though.
I love Yorkshire, such a great place to spend time photographing (depending on the weather obviously!)
Hope you got some good shots for all your patience and time spent in the sea!!

Yeah, I've seen some of those before, although it was a couple of shots by Joe Cornish that made me want to go. Will be going back I think... although next time I will check the tides!

Oh, I think you can rely on the British weather... you can usually rely on it being bad!
