A fisherman preparing to go to sea at sunrise. It was a great morning but as the sun broke the clouds roled in. I have seen many sunrises but never one so vividly red/pink. On this occation I was treated to a superb sky from before sunrise lasting until well after. Sunrise was quickly overtaken by the dark rain clouds but not before a I got a quick shot using the B&W ND110. Sunset on a bitterly cold February evening I headed down to the famous pier at the harbour entrance with my ND110 filter. The pier at Whitby is unusual (see Google earth) it has two arms, so I positioned myself at the end of one arm so I could shoot the other arm getting in the coast with the ruined cliff top abbey. After several shots I was frozen but suddenly there was a short break in the clouds and I got some beautiful pink light in the sky and the shot was made. This shot got a highly commended award in the NEMPF 2011 exhibition. A bitterly cold evening in Whitby a place made famous by Bram Stoker in Dracula. This shot was taken near the top of the 199 steps that lead from the town up the cliff to the now ruined Abbey. A weekend trip to the lake district saw a little nice light between the showers. Moments after day break the distant clouds broke and some nice light played over the scene. Job done it was off for some breakfast. A weekend trip to the lake district saw a little nice light between the showers. High on the hill side looking down on Grassmere a few seconds of nice light hit the foreground rocks making the long climb up worth while. A weekend away to Cromer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromer) treated me with some super light, I have never seen a sky so red at dawn but I prefer this shot from before dawn as the sky was starting to light up. A shot from a recent weekend to Cromer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromer) a low shot down the length of the pier. Same as previously uploaded shot but with a B&W conversion. Which do you prefer? A shot after the sun has set from the top of the cliffs looking down on the Victorian pier Stand on Menorca's north-eastern tip when the tramuntana is blowing and you will appreciate the island's savage beauty. Waves crash against crumbling slate cliffs, throwing sea spray high Into the air, and the solitary lighthouse acts as a reassuring reminder of humanity. Fortunately when I visited it was a gorgeous sunrise in a very nearly cloudless sky with the sunlight glinting on the wet slate. Dunstanburgh Castle lies on a spectacular headland on the coast of Northumberland in northern England, between the villages of Craster and Embleton. I arrived on the beach before sunrise taking great care not to break an ankle on the large slippery boulders and waited for the sunrise. This is a beautiful if not eerie atmospheric location at the eastern tip of Anglesey. The silence is broken every 30 sec by the toll of a bell warning ships of there fate in foggy conditions. The lighthouse was built following a major loss of life, on 17 August 1831, when an old steamer, 'The Rothsay Castle', ran aground and broke up on or near Puffin Island taking the lives of 117 passengers and crew with it.
