I'm not an early bird, more of a night owl - but I'm prepared to make sacrifices... Though I could kill two birds with one stone and watch the sunset and stay awake for the sunrise, mid summer it's not hard to do. Yes. I've seen those Google pictures too, they all look great, hence my reason for asking, they all looked to good to be true. Often you get to places and you've got flat grey light - but hey, it's one of those things, and it never looks like it does. Then again, from my own persnal experiences of my local area, you can get wildy differing images of the same place at different times of day, during the year and under different light. I remeber last year going to Brough Castle, Brougham and Kendal Castles, it was a lovely day, but when I got to Keswick to go to Castlerigg Stone Circle, the clouds were rolling in over the hills and the light was terrible for photographs. Thanks for the input.

No, not a knock off copy of the classic film Brighton Rocks, but the ones out in Yorkshire, just wondering if anyone has been (I did try a search)? I've been thinking of going and couldn't decide if sunrise or sunset might be the best time. I know it's often a case of pot luck when dealing with outdoor locations and you can often get dramatic light and cloud at any point of the day.

Thanks Phil and Paul and Chris for choosing it. I hadn't expected it.

Welcome Ringo, that's exactly what I did when I got my digital camera last year, I used the Auto Settting for the first couple of months.

I've just been checking out the various trips, I wouldn't mind the Holy Island one (4 hours) - runs at 10am & 2pm - it is on the Ocean Explorer, max 12 people, so guessing it would be wise to advance book. Other than that, I don't really know the area at all, though I have seen nice photo's of Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh Castles at sunrise...

Nice painting, not the way I would do it, but still very pleasing. Art is very much like photography, very subjectibve, I come from a graphic design background, so I like bolder shapes and colours and less watecolour, but that's just me,

Thought I'd bump this back up, as Northumberland is a 180-190 mile each way journey for me, I'm going to have to come up the day before.... either that or set off at 11:30pm, drive through the night in order to get there before dawn.....

It could well be, anyway it's this weekend, I'm hoping to go either Sat/Sun depending on when the weather is best. I might even get the chance to try out some portrait photography, given the situation.

Thanks Nannyferret, hope everyone else is enjoying them. Day 12: Dusk: So, you're saying that no matter how many worms we eat..... Yes. There'll alway be more worms the next day?? Day 13: Worms!!! Day 13: Dusk: Let me get this straight, a bird God leaves behind wormms!! Yes!! To be continued.....

Welcome to the forums Phoenix, good to have you onboard. Phil is probably the man to ask about images sizes, I ususally keeo the file sze to less the 400k and not bigger than 1200 pixels on the longest length - but I host my images offsite, it may be different if you use the gallery facility on the forum.

A real cracker it is too, I was hoping someone would choose it. I know I posted one of a Gosling and there were several others as well, but Craftysnapper really made excellent use of the back lighting.

That said, the only place I've been asked about taking photographs was at Helmshore Textile Museum, where I had to fill in a form with all my details and basically saying that they wouldn't be used for commercial purposes. Many places, such as English Heritage, National Trust, WWT restrict photography to non commercial use, I imagine if half a dozen toggers turned up, setting up lights, tripods and 4 or 5 models you'd get asked what was going on..

Yes I hand draw them, scan them and colour in PSP7, I'll admit I'm not a cartoonist, but I do paint - mostly watercolour/gouache.

To be fair the ranger at the end of the video, said he'd have no problem with a couple of people with a tripod, it was only when it looked (to him) like it was something commercial was going on...

Day 10: Dusk: There must be a great bird God in the sky that makes them appear.... Day 11: Worms.... There is a great bird god in the sky.... Day 12: Worms!! See, I told you there would be worms... To be continued....

#1 Day 1: Ummmm.... Worms! #2 Day 2: More Worms!!! #3 Day 10: Hang on! Where are all these worms coming from???? To be continued......

Whenever I try and use the Ad/dRemove Components for Microsoft Seasons 2015 I get a couple of C++ Runtime Errors. For example I tried to Unistall Winter and Install Sumer and got similar error messages: #1 Uninstall Winter # 2 Install Summer In both cases I got a similiar error that that it wasn't supported in the UK, I tried contacting Microsft but the were unable to help, so wondered if anyone had any work arounds that might work?

This Sunday, I'm off watching and photographing the JSRA Jetski Championiship at Avos Water Sports Jetski Lake between Tareleton and Southport, as well as the racing they also have the Freestyle Jetski Tour on the same weekend, so lots of action photos of jetskis doing tricks. I'll be there for 10 am-ish, so if anyone needs a lift (between Accrington/Tareleton) or wants to meet up thre let me know. I had such a great time meeting up with Leon last week that I thought I'd like to do it again and more often.

Well, I don't mind meeting up, Lindisfarne has been on my bucket list so to speak... Causeway Crossing Times Sat 13 03:25 until 10:45 (Safe) 10:45 until 15:55 (Unsafe) 15:55 until 23:15 (Safe) 23:15 until 04:40 (Sun) (Unsafe) Sunrise: 04:27

Good luck Leon, I'm off to take photo's of a Jetski Race on Sunday.

Thanks Kobione and Fuji, I'm left without words once again, but thank you everyone.

That 1st shot is just great, he looks well impressed - it might be a few years before he can reach the pedals

Oh, no.. and you did quite a few. The only time it failed for me is when I doubled up on them, there was a distinct magenta cast to them. It was great to meet up with Leon too, and the weather gods kept their promise and there was no rain.

Yes, oopppsss.....

Ryewolf: It's 38.1 miles to Ingleton, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. Leon: Hit it I've appealed to the weather gods and they've agreed to lay of the rain for tomorrow....
