In September, as the days begin to draw in and mild daytime temperatures meet cooler nights, many of those same valleys will be filled with mist in the mornings, with the higher ground appearing to give a view from above the clouds.

I highly recommend using a beanbag to support your gear and a scrim net to keep you concealed. 5. Studley RoyalWaterfalls: From the mystical Janet’s Foss to the cascading waters at Gordale Scar, waterfalls abound. Alyn Wallace is one of the world’s leading night sky photographers and a great communicator. His Photographing The Night Sky is an encyclopedic guide that will answer all of your questions about landscape astrophotography and explain all the latest techniques to help you create stunning photographs of the night sky and its wonders. No York photography mission would be complete without taking some snaps of The Shambles. As the oldest street in York, this row of crooked buildings boasts a lot of character. So much so that this location is one of the most photographed spots in the whole city. After taking a look at the pictures below, you will understand why. Bus: There are numerous bus routes to most Dales villages from many surrounding towns (Richmond, Bedale, Ripon, Harrogate, Ilkley, Skipton, Lancaster). These buses, whilst useful, only usually operate a couple of times a day, and rarely do so late at night or early in the morning when photographic opportunities usually arise. Walking the city walls is one of the best free things to do in York. Not only is it great exercise, but there are also some amazing photo spots on this route. From the walls, you will come across a number of fab minster views that are totally worth photographing! Furthermore, the walls themselves make for a good photo as they showcase part of Yorks unique history! The City Walls, York Clifford’s Tower

This has not been an exhaustive guide as there is truly too much to cover in this magnificent (and large) county. Granted, the Wolds might not be the most dramatic of areas. They’re relatively flat and tend to be more agricultural in nature, as opposed to the moodier appearance of the hills, and geology of the dales and moors. However, this is exactly their attraction! We will meet at 5:30pm on the first evening for an introductory talk and discussion before dinner on each participants needs and aims – an essential aspect of ensuring that every participant gets as much as possible from the course. You will also at this stage be briefed on the programme for the next 3 days.Although some of the main centres of the dales and coast, such as Grassington, Malham, Whitby, and Scarborough can, and do, attract quite heavy tourism, you shouldn’t let this put you off. In most cases, it’s the towns and villages that become congested and, for only a slight diversion away, you will be rewarded with much quieter areas that, for the main part, you will have to yourself. In early June the hay meadows of the Yorkshire Dales burst into life with a blaze of yellow buttercups.

Lastly, photograph the minster from afar on Low Petergate or from the city walls. Alternatively, some of the other streets surrounding this impressive building also offer unique viewpoints of the minster from different angles. Why not try them out? The exterior of York Minster, Yorkshire A close up of York Minster The extremely spectacular York Minster! The Chapter House, York Minster Low Petergate Since half of the dales run east-west and the other half run north-south, there are many places to choose from to find the right angle for the light at any time of year. In some places, you can go wherever you want, but in others, it’s best to stay on the path. If you’re smart and willing to look around, it’s easy to find places that aren’t on the main paths. This guide is by no means a complete list of places, but it should put you in the right spots so you can look around and go from there.

I tend to focus on the smaller, overlooked subjects such as stonechats that flit through the grassy meadows, perching now and then to sing or look out for danger. Go low to the ground with a long-ish focal length (above 70mm) and use a wide-ish aperture (f/2.8 – f/5.6), and focus on the distant barn. The colourful, out-of-focus foreground flowers contrast beautifully with the sharp stonework of the barn, giving a slightly painterly feel to your images. There is a boardwalk that loops from the car park through the middle part of the reserve, but this can be busy, especially during fine weather. With spring’s “mad” season fast approaching, now is the time to be heading onto your local patch in search of one of Britain’s most photogenic animals. Malham Cove is a huge natural cliff which was once a spectacular waterfall. It is a great place to see and photograph peregrine falcons, which have nested there since 1993.
