Golden light below Whernside
Below Whernside, one of the “Three Peaks” in the Yorkshire Dales is a truly special landscape, the limestone pavement here is one of the best in the UK. It had been cloudy all day, fortunately though at golden hour the light came out briefly allowing me make this shot…
Above Malham
September is usually a good time to get back to some Landscape photography so just going through some shots from last year to get me in the mood again. Here’s a shot taken above Malham in the Yorkshire Dales just after a rain storm passes through…
Post Hill Woods
A simple picture taken recently whilst out walking in my local woods in Leeds. I’d heard rumours that Deer lived in these woods. Having walked and played in these woods for over 20 years without a sighting I wasn’t so sure, however on this foggy morning I came very close to three Deer so can confirm the rumours are true. Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough with my camera!
Yorkshire Dales
Yesterday for the first time in ages I had the day off. With a weather forecast of sunshine and showers I set off to the Yorkshire Dales to continue my personal project. Here are four images I took using the Canon 50mm f1.2L lens, I was in an experimental mood and decided to shoot all these wide open @ f1.2. It wasn’t until I got home and saw them on the big screen that I started to appreciate the dreamy soft focus and painterly feel to them. Against landscape photography conventions and rules I think I’ll be utilising the aperture again…
Light Painting on the Moors
During a Nightscape workshop I ran last evening on the moors above Todmorden, West Yorkshire we were blessed with great conditions for light painting. I’d been waiting a while for the weather to look suitable for the class and with all the weather boxes ticked we made our way up there. We were not disappointed having an hour or so of exceptional twilight. Here’s a shot I made of the last standing Bridestone stood amongst this fascinating grit stone outcrop…
