Hebridean Workshop day I, Borve Harris

Image
The reason why Alan left Harris earlier than I, was that he was going home and I was going on a photographic workshop with Lizzie Shepherd and Alex Hare. I got to stay in the Harris Hotel for a few days and fly home. Alan, generously, drove the van back with Hettie, which took him a couple of days. All of the workshop participants met up with Lizzie and Alex in the afternoon and then we were driven out to a rocky cove just north of Borve. Here we caught the remainder of the afternoon sun and stayed until the moon was up. Most of the clouds from the previous couple of days had evaporated leaving a clear sky.

Whitby Workshop - Dawn at Robin Hood Bay

Image
Last week I went on a long exposure workshop run by Doug Chinnery, based in and around Whitby and the northeast. It was good fun and a chance to hone skills and spend some time immersed in photography. Doug had planned out a couple of really intensive days and prepared itineraries and tides to make the most of the locations. I will spread the two days over a number of blogs reflecting time of day and place. Here are the first pictures taken at Robin Hood Bay where we arrived before dawn for some early shots. We were blessed with some fine weather for this although the dawn was fairly gentle and atmospheric. The last picture was taken as we were leaving the beach to drive back to Whitby for a well deserved breakfast.
