I’ve shared several shots from my trip to Northumberland in recent weeks. It was a great trip, but the final day was probably the most challenging in terms of photography. The sky was clear blue with not a cloud to be seen the entire day. Only at sunset did a few clouds appear on the … Continue reading Bamburgh Beach: The Photographer’s Challenge
Last week, I shared some photos from the first day of my trip to Northumberland. This week, I want to share some from the following morning. This started with a trip down to the beach at Bamburgh to photograph the sunrise. The plan was to get up well before sunrise and head directly to the … Continue reading Northumberland Beach Photography: A Sunrise Experience
I’m just back from a trip to the Northumberland coast. Although I’m still suffering the effects of the Flu (I don’t think it could have been the Flu, given how it’s lingering), it was a fantastic trip with lots of photography opportunities.

Last weekend I was up in Northumberland, staying at Bamburgh. As you would expect of any landscape photographer, I took the opportunity to shoot the castle at both sunrise (wonderful) and sunset (challenging). The image above is from one of the rather challenging “sunsets” (there wasn’t any sun) but I still like something about it. … Continue reading Friday Image No. 124
