Walking down to Grassington

[Les McLean]

I always enjoy the this view of Grassington when walking down from the Dales way, nestling in the Wharfe Valley is so appealing.

All with Canon 1Ds MKIII+200 F2.8L lens

HI Les,

I love this view, and composition - but the lighting just lacks some punch. When I compare these to the shots on your pbase account - they aren't in the same league.

Have to say though I use your locations as my "to shoot" list - not that I'm stalking you mate

I know what you mean about the light, and about 30 minutes after I'd got back to my car (and half way home) there was a gorgeous red evening light that spread across the snowy hills, I was kicking myself for not hanging around a bit longer !!!!

I have also experienced that up there - driven up from Barnsley and gone home with an empty CF card, only to see the most beautiful light in the rear view mirror. Roll on October when we give the area some payback.

Was up at the lead mines last week (walked from Yarnbury down to Burnsall) Light was c--p though! Brightened up a bit when walking up river to Grassington so got a few pics of Hebden Suspension Bridge.

Would have loved a few of what you captured though, alas, couldnt see Grassington through the low cloud!
Lovely shots mate!
