A welcome spot for a breather on the way up to Ringing Roger and Kinder Scout. An opportunity to capture the pre-dawn colour and mist in Edale Valley.
Slight issue with the farm building too close to the edge of the frame, but worth sharing.
A short trip to Vancouver and a few treasures are nabbed in broad daylight. This of course brings up the question of light it self. Is there good and bad light for photography? Instead, I would contend that if you think you are shooting in bad light, then perhaps you are shooting the wrong thing.
This landscape shot would not illicit the strong shadows and differing colors given those parcelled at sunset. Rather, choose your subject given the lighting conditions and find the gems that exist all around us.
This lesser yellowlegs was feeding in the shallow water along the edge of the mudflat where it was keying in on leeches, or bloodsuckers. I watched it nab several large leeches as it slowly worked the shoreline, gobbling them down with gusto!

This was quite a scary image to make, as I was stood on a narrow ledge, with practically no room for manoeuvre - just the waves lapping against the rocks several feet below. Ideally, I would liked to have used a slightly wider angle to include more of the foreground and cliffs to the left, but I considered changing lenses at this spot to be a risky business, so I used what I had on the camera. I used a strong ND grad to retain the detail and colour in the sky. It's a flawed image, but one which was made in quite challenging circumstances.
Myton-on-Swale
The River Swale in Yorkshire is a major tributary of the River Ure, which becomes the River Ouse, which empties into the North Sea via the Humber Estuary. The river gives its name to the Swaledale valley through which it flows. This point, a short walk from the village, is the confluence of the two, it’s called Swale Nab. The River Swale is on my left, the River Ure is to the right of the photo. I’m standing on a mound which also displays a large sign directing all vessels travelling towards me from the River Ouse, along the Ure, as the Swale is unnavigable.
The River Swale is 73.2 miles in length and the River Ure 74 miles.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Doing an impression of Yorkshires very own Uluru, Saltwick Nab in the hour before low tide on a hot balmy evening that led to a wonderful sunset.

Shot on Leica X
A female American kestrel flies off with a small rodent in her talons, procured from a marsh in Bosque del Apache. Unfortunately I failed to adjust the ISO setting for the lower light, and this action shot has a bit too much action (aka blur).

It didn't quite work, I wanted separation between Black Nab and the cliffs behind but keeping the detail.. it's not hdr, just using filters and the late evening sun:-)
Saltwick Bay is one of my favourite local places, it can be magical. The hard rock, left by the receding tide, retains water forming something of a mirror. Black Nab, the pinnacle, is at one end of the bay and Saltwick Nab is shaped almost like a Whale at the far end. A few miles from Whitby, on the North Yorkshire coast. I tried to use the rocks as a double lead, pointing to the setting sun and the Nab.
Another shot from my recent trip to Saltwick Bay, this time without the wreck and closer in to Black Nab, which has an uncanny resemblance to a nuclear ballistic submarine.
By the time I took this there was some great colour in the sky as the sun started to set.

Pike o' Blisco, Crinkle Crags, Bowfell, Harrison Stickle and Sergeant Man are the skyline fells from left to right. This sheep thought it was in the Lion King! Seen from close to the summit of Nab Scar, the first or last fell on the Fairfield Horseshoe.
