March 2012

Where does the time go?
There are literally not enough hours in the day. Ive been quite busy of late so feel its about time I gave some time to my blog.....not that I get alot of feedback but, its therapeutic and lets you know what Im up to.

In my last blog I said  "So whats next for the blog......I shall be processing and posting images from Durham, Staithes and Whitby, watch this space"
So, I'm going back to February (well I suppose its no too far back is it). I hadnt had alot of time recently to do some new stuff but, in Febraury I managed to grab a few spare hours and got up early to capture the early morning in Durham.
The night before I checked my kit and felt quite excited about getting up early (strange bunch us photographers). The alarm goes off (I was actually awake) after a restless night pointed the car in the direction of Durham.
It was a very cold but beautiful morning. The early morning light bringing out the wonderful contrast of colours

February was also the pre-wedding shoot for Andrea and Russell in Harrogate. They brought along their two wonderful children and not forgetting the dog. A wonderful family, cant wait to do their wedding in May at Holy Island
The weather wasnt at its best but after a quick chat and a get to know you in the pub we headed off to Valley Gardens park.....a first for me, must go back there though when the park is alive with colour it's a beautiful area.

Whitby

A visit to Whitby late afternoon in February.
I had anticpated the weather to be better but the problem is its so changeable this time of year. It was windy and at one point it wasnt worth getting out of the car as the rains started. I was about to give up when the rain eased - off to the pier. Judy had to stand behind me with a huge golf umbrella to protect me and the camera from the strong winds and spray coming off the sea.
This is couple of the images

Staithes

Also in February I went to the beautiful fishing village of Staithes - one of my favourite places to photograph.
