Hhhmmmm, yes I know didn’t want to lower the tone with the title but it is golden I guess, anyway this is from Northumberland last week near Seahouses, it was a fantastic sunset and I spent the whole evening running up and down the coastline to get as many variational shots in as possible.

Getting my kit ready for Wales now, new camera being delivered tomorrow to replace my fataly damaged 1Ds, apparently stone steps and cameras don’t mix very well even more so when they have big lenses on, not fun and the air did turn a little blue!

Here hoping for some good weather for sunrises over the Welsh mountains next week

Hey it’s Friday at last, the sun is shining and I’m all packed ready for a weekend away with the Stormster, but where should we go? Northumberland or North Wales?

Camera at the ready for some serious seascape sunsets tonight, forecast is spot on, must admit I’m leaning towards the Bamburgh Castle area, had a glimpse of it last week so I should really go and get this one under my belt as it were. There’s a beautiful rape seed field near it to so may manage to get that in there shot if I’m lucky.

Have a great weekend all

Adrian

I make no excuses for posting what will be  at least 10 shots from one evenings shoot, spending 4 1/2 hrs watching the sunset across calm seas is pretty much my perfect way to relax and capturing it is my perfect way of expressing its beauty. I never understand why when you have this on your doorstep you would choose to stay n and watch TV, anyway I suppose I’d moan if the beaches were full of people not watching Eastenders! I’ll leave these places as secrets then.

Beautiful sunshine in Yorkshire this morning, popping over to the dark side later, well Lancaster, hope the folks there are as nice as they say..lol

I still need to complete a sunset rape seed shot I scouted last week, hopefully get it polished off tonight after our  team  meeting.

have a great Monday

Hi all

been a while I know,  been so busy lately with one thing and another but I finally managed to get away for an overnight shoot and camp up at Northumberland, I admit I’m smitten with the place now and will have to venture back over the next few months to capture more stunning and beautiful scenes.

This will be the first of many from Embleton, a beach with not only pure sand but these huge boulder/pebbles, I sat there from 7pm until 11:30pm  such was the sunset, even then I kept turning round to see the fading light and colours. Unfortunately the camp site locks up at 11pm so I ended up leaving the car on the main road and carrying all my gear into the tent, a little cramped but I did manage to sleep in the end.

As with all my work the scene is set in the camera and filters used to enhance the colours, I never crop or add things that weren’t there to begin with, 99% completed at location the way it should be thats the fun bit and the passion. In photoshop I only clean dust off and sometimes the horizon level, maybe a little dodge and burn if needed, this one didn’t even need and of that, just the dust spots removed.

If you would like to come along on one of my courses and learn exactly how this is done then check out my workshops for more info.
