Autumn Sunrise Oct 2015 089 - Crimble Viaduct, Slaithwaite from work
I managed to get out with the camera the other afternoon, trying to get some autumn shots before the leaves disappear. The light over that last two weeks as been terrible, very dull but with flashes of beautiful light-I'm always at work or the wrong place as is usually the case. I popped up to Marsden, around Tunnel End. No filters just straight shots. At teatime , after work I legged it to Wessenden Head, up West Nab -one photo, just one! and the sun slipped behind a cloud never to be seen again - not that night anyway. I met Chris Nickerson on West Nab. We had never met before and stood for ages as darkness fell talking photography and road cycling.Occasionally taking a photo.Chris has some nice stuff on Flickr. We had almost the same kit with us.
I stayed until total darkness, taking photos when it was that dark I couldn't see the image in the wiewfinder. Digital sensors amaze me, the images look like they were taken in much lighter conditions. the giveaway is that the lights are all on in the distance. The morning after I went out early chasing some autumn sunrise photos. I went to South Crosland but |I was too early - can you be too early? I nipped back to work and unlocked and then went back to Helme Edge and set the tripod up - me with a tripod twice in 12 hours!- and waites fpr the sun to light Helme-and the steeple of the church I was married in. I nipped back to work but passing Blackmoorfoot Res' I saw some amazing light on the trees, I cuoldn't stop because of the rush hour traffic so reported into the girls in the office and shot back out for 15 minutes. I had to climb down to the waters edge but it was worth it.
