The weekend trip was arranged by my camera club The Tweeddale Photographic Group. Six members in all and partners ventured out on the last weekend in October, fingers crossed for fine weather. We had taken our caravan and discovered a small site with a fantastic, uninterrupted view of Bamburgh Castle

By the time I met the members of the group who also arrived on the Friday the light was pretty poor and it didn’t bode well for our plans for a sunrise shoot but I did manage to capture a couple of shots with just a glimpse of the sun on the castle

Saturday Morning.

WOW!!! Someone must have put in a good word for us, what a beautiful morning.

This was a first time I had managed to get to grips with long exposures and using a tripod. The tripod a piece of equipment I have long struggled with, I think it has had some evil intent towards me, it’s constant aim to trip me over

We were also lucky not too many other photographers, just how lucky we did not realize until the next morning

Amazing how quickly the stunning colours disappear once the sun lifts from the horizon

We took ourselves off to Seahouses, the day had turned rather grey and uninspiring after which we all returned to our respective abodes but met up later for a smashing fish supper in Seahouses

Sunday Morning

Once again the Gods were good to us to a degree, fantastic sunrise again but this was the first day of GMT and as we were on the beach an hour earlier the tide was much higher, also the world and his wife turned up with a multitude of tripods and camera equipment

This morning I tried using filters but felt a little dissatisfied with the results as all seem to have a strange hue to them but then again it was a different kind of sunrise
