Golden evening - a photo on Flickriver

Golden evening

An impromptu visit yesterday to North Yorkshire, on the spur of the moment I decided to go and shoot sunset at Batty Moss viaduct, Ribblehead, got up there at Midday to scout it out and after slipping around on ice for a bit decided to come back about 3pm, in the meantime I headed off to Winskill above Settle to scout out this lone tree I'd wanted to shoot for a while, finding it was pretty easy and managed a few long exposure shots before heading off again. I couldn't help noticing on the map just how close I was to one of my favourite places, Malham, so I headed off there, even further away from Ribblehead.. after numerous hours standing in Janets Foss waterfalls (which is quite dark under the trees) with my wellies on I realised that some lovely golden light was just starting to occur, looking at my watch there was no way I was going to make Ribblehead in about 30 minutes, 'photograhers panic' started to set in as the light was now getting really good and I had nowhere to shoot sunset....

Driving in the car looking for somewhere it dawned on me I had the ideal place, the tree where I had been earlier was perfectly placed and should catch a lot of the light in the direct path of the setting sun. In my panic I had forgotten my cable release and also my big jacket so it was absolutely freezing and had to hope my shots would be sharp using the shutter button, thankfully no worries there.

So for a location I hadn't been to before I ended up back there twice in one day, so glad I did too as the light was just immense, managed about 5 or 6 decent shots from here at different angles, this being one of my favourites about 15 minutes before the sun dipped below the horizon, the gnarly trunk of the tree glowing in the light and the limestone pavement basking in gold hues.

Sometimes things don't go to plan, but that's not always a bad thing,
