Just love no7... After seeing a million images of Bamburgh. The game of cricket really sets it off.. Though I think Northumberlands cricket rivals my photography in terms of excellence...

7 is a gem. Something different and alive, a nice change from the more typical landscapes one tends to see.

I like the composition in 6 too.

Thanks for sharing

All great, but 7 really shines. I can see it being on the front of the tour brochure.

Ok, so Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh castles are done to death photographically - but for me that doesn’t detract from the quality of this set. Superb skies, great light, great perspectives. Having said all that, my pick is Craster harbour, which I’ve always found hard to make look attractive, but looks really good here. Thanks for posting these!

A wonderful set of images.
3,7 & 9 are my favourites.

Well number 4 Craster harbour does it for me. Lovely serene image.

Love the pooch too.

Really good set, nice variety of lighting and processing

There's been a lot of good photography on here recently

Good set, #9 is the stand out for me

Right I am complaining to admins to have these removed at once.
I live up here and i do not want any of these tourist type people seeing these and invading my wonderfull county SHAME ON YOU!!

PS
no 7 for me.

Too late, I’ve booked for a few days in November! I hear it will be warm and sunny so packing my Speedos and sun cream.

Love the photos, especially the sunsets.

It takes a special kind of photographer to capture sunsets on the East Coast

East coast? Is that where it is? Sorry carmagw I didn’t realise you had got up that early. Definitely worth it.

I do like the all but (to me) two have processing issues with regards to HDR. #9 overdoes the HDR unless you can cure the edge effect between the wall and the view where there is a halo round the arch and #6 suffers similarly but darkens the surround to the join instead. Sadly that's a common problem with some HDR programs and needs to be watched for. Editing each part of the image as a separate layer can sort that out. However the sunset in #8 is quite super.

Thanks for all the comments.


Didn't get up early, they are sunsets, the sun being to the far left and actually out of shot but reflecting the colours nicely. The position of the harbour allows you to look back towards the sunset. At Beadnell harbour you can actually get a sunset due to the shape of it and surrounding headland, for example, taken last year :





Thanks for this I can see it on 9 which was quite heavily processed with such a difference between shadows and light areas but struggling to see it on 6. Even gone back to original and zoomed in and not able to see a halo, unless I'm overlooking the obvious. I did think there was a little halo on the Craster Harbour shot (4) but looking at the original it looks like the reflection of the light on the ripples changed just in front of the line of the harbour wall. All were processed in lightroom, not able to use layers on my version.

Thanks again for your comments.
