Thanks Jack. That's one of my favourite photos, not just because it's a great image - but because of the pleasure I had on the day and the pure sense of satisfaction. I'm not great at getting up early (I think I mentioned this when discussing butterfly photos), but this place is quite special to me for a number of reasons. So, I did manage to get up and drive the 45 minutes in the dark to be there for sunrise. I knew exactly what I wanted to take, and did so - so was well-chuffed with myself, especially as I was all alone there in the peace and quiet - it just felt 'wow, what an amazing morning, and here I am right within it'. Then I spent the rest of the morning wandering along the River Esk in the sun - before going for a bacon buttie. It's somewhere I have also worked a lot (or the nearby Stanley Ghyll is) and so I pass by often - and always think of that morning.
Yes - I took a tripod. Water movement is definitely one of the few things it's almost impossible to capture hand-held.
You've been followed for years.
