This time next week I’ll be loading the car for our trip to the Dales. I cannot wait. We’ve had this trip planned for a while and it feels like it’s taken for ever to get here. Where I live is flat in all directions for about 25 miles, so finding interesting landscapes to photograph is something of a challenge, especially without a car. Going to somewhere new with hills and peaks is exciting. I miss hills. My head I filled with plans, so I hope the weather gods are kind.
This week has been mostly wet, but I did get one trip out to my local moorland. I didn’t time it quite right though, which was a lesson – golden hour is relative to your location’s topography, not just the clock. As soon as I got into the woods the good light was gone. Another lesson I learned, handheld doesn’t cut it in this light.
I did manage to take this photo though (well, I actually took lots, but this is the only one worth keeping).
