Yeah! - the best time of year is here for us landscape photographers

Most people long for the long summer days and warm weather. But as a bit of a freaky photographer I always look forward to when the nights draw in. That means 3 things to me

More dramatic weather - such as hoar frost, mist, and snow
Longer 'golden hour' - as the sun stays closer the the horizon throughout the day
Most importantly - Longer time spent in bed! - sunrise is 7-8am!!!

One of things that suprises me about any photographer (me included) is how we change our behaviour when we travel. I spend a lot of time in the Lake District and Wales taking photos but never really venture too often onto my doorstep.

So - project for this weekend - take more photos closer to home!!!

There are plenty to be had as these two images prove - both of which were taken about 1/2 mile away...
