Yorkshire
Images from my home county of Yorkshire, focused on two areas I have grown to know well: the North Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.

'Heathered Horcum'

The hole of horcum is a challenging place to make a strong image. I have scouted it many times and always thought that this composition could make an nice image. But it needed something different.

The opportunity came one evening whilst I was on the way over to visit Dave Tolcher and his family in Robin Hoods Bay. The heather was in full glory and as I passed over the Moors I noticed that there was some scattered raking light.

I parked up and dashed round to the spot I had scouted and hastily set up. The light was just about perfect and I just managed to catch the last raking light striking the edge of the hole and the path. I was able to make one image (on provia because I was worried out about the dynamic range).

Technical Details - Linhof Technikardan, 240mm lens, 2 stop grad. Provia 100. Scanned with an Epson V700.
