Late light.

  After a day in the gallery I was all set just to head home. It was only by chance that I had parked further along the road than usual and as I approached the car I could see the roof of the Bowes Museum just above the tree line. It was glowing. Quickly jumping in the car I drove the short distance to the grounds of the museum, grabbed the camera and was just in time to fire off a couple of shots of the last of the evening light.

Within a minute or so after this shot the light had faded so it really was just in the nick of time. Then it was time to head home and tea was hardly late at all. Well worth the effort I think.

Just a snap

 Whilst looking out of the gallery window late this afternoon the sky seemed a stormy grey but the sun shone brightly on the street, even the Indian takeaway opposite looked almost worth a photograph! With this in mind after shutting the gallery for the day instead of heading straight home I drove up to the grounds of the Bowes Museum just on the edge of town in the hope of capturig some of this dramatic light. Unfortunately the grey skies were not as moody as they were earlier and the sun had all but gone. However with a bit of patience and luck the sun made a brief appearance to light up the scene and produce quite an acceptable result.

The boldness of the red flowers help to make the photgraph. Well worth the diversion on the way home I think.

A Teesdale Winter

I have just edited a small selection of photographs together from the recent wintery weather here in Teesdale. Hopefully it will give a sense of the beautiful scenery that has been produced even though the quality of the compressed photos on the clip is reduced compared to the originals.
