Yorkshire Photo Guide Book

I was thinking Yorkshire is quite big so probably has guide books for different parts (such as Whitby, the Moors, York,...)
Then I followed your link & saw it only covers the Yorkshire Dales, leaving all the above out

Scrolling through the other photographers guides on the page you linked I see their is one for the 'North Yorkshire Coast'.
I also notice they are ALL written by the same author, which suggests heavy usage of AI, and limited local knowledge. :eek:

My personal favorite photo location in Yorkshire is Bingham rocks, which might actually be in the dales but I think it was just outside.
Yorkshire is a good 5 hours drive away for me so I rarely visit unless I'm on the way somewhere which leaves me limited for time.

If you look at the date of the publication (2007) of the Lazy Photographer, I believe that they were produced before Ai was in the wild, it may have been in some techies blue sky thinking only in 2007!.

The Long Valley Books photo guides are really good, particularly with regards to parking and access/routes to the photo spots described. I've got quite a few of them, including the one you linked to

Hi Mike, the first book was released in 2013 and the last book that Ellen wrote was released in 2020 (it was in March or April if I remember correctly, what a month to release a travel guidebook to Iceland!), so modern generative AI was not available at the time.

Ellen is my cousin and as well as editing books for her entire career I can assure you that she spent many months in holiday cottages around the country writing her series of books the old fashioned way.
