One of the first proper Landscape Photography outings of the year for me (November!!) which is very poor but I've had various injuries to contend with but thankfully now fully on the mend!
5 of us headed out to Northumberland for 4 days which turned out to be a fantastic trip if not a little 'challenging' in the weather stakes! We had driven overnight to here which was the first stop off point for sunrise, and as it went would be the only time we saw any sunlight for the entire trip... This was as you can probably guess taken off the drone as the angle of the Sun here at this time of year was massively favourable to shooting off the beach, it's years since I've been here and had been high on my list for a revisit mainly due to rumours of the Pier being due to be demolished, whether this is still the case I don't know?
We ended up staying around here for a few hours after the main bit of light had gone and still managed to create some great images, infact all through the trip despite the decidedly poor lighting I've still managed to come away with some images that I'm really happy with which I'll upload in the coming weeks.

Following on from the last image, the onset of Autumn, which already here seems to have been and pretty much gone in a matter of no time this year, storms taking all the leave off before they have really had a chance to gain that deep rich colour the season is known for
This is another shot from the same location as the last one near to me, exactly 1 Month ago today. If you look at the last image and then this one you will be able to see to process of the 2 compositions within the overall scene.
The walk to get to it was 'interesting' with some severe slipping and sliding going on but amazingly I managed to stay upright for once! you could hear before getting to it that it was really flowing well and I wasn't dissapointed.
I had about an hour here trying various different compositions and things I hadn't shot before and to be honest it was superb to just be out again in nature with the camera.
I got 3 or 4 images that I really like from the shoot. The only filter I've used here is a NiSi Landscape Polariser, which when shooting at f/11 gave me an ideal shutter speed of between 1.6 and 2 seconds on each image with the ISO pushed up a little.

We (like a lot of the UK) have experienced some really heavy rainfall in the last week or so, also some localised floowing, so, what better place to head to than a little hidden Waterfall I know about 5 miles from me...

I got 3 or 4 images that I really like from the shoot and this one is maybe my favourite with the larger area being ignored to concentrate just just a small section of the falls making for a totally different image toi any I've taken here before. The only filter I've used here is a NiSi Landscape Polariser, which when shooting at f/11 gave me an ideal shutter speed of between 1.6 and 2 seconds on each image with the ISO pushed up a little.

A shot I'd totally forgotten about taking as it was in a file from a different trip and this was shot as I was making my way back North.
This scene is now totally transformed as The Power Station Project is now complete, at the time it did strike me as being reall;y photogenic with all the lighting and the red crane tips to alert passing aircraft to the danger of them.
I recall taking this and the tripod wouldn't go high enough to get right over the railings on the other side of the Thames so i had to balance the camera between the railing tops and tie it down before using the self timer, a bit of a faff around but hopefully worth it...
Being a Sunday there was no work going on so the Cranes were all perfectly still.
