So, in this post, I'm going for the big reveal of this year's holiday destination. And it was...ta-da...Whitby, spiritual home of the UK's goths. Not that that's of any interest to us, of course. We were there for the sun and sea, which we got in good measure, considering.
Naturally enough, we found our way to the abbey, where I made quite a few images, of which this is the best.
On the wall in the on-site cafe, there is a large format print of an image taken from just this vantage point, which looks to have been made about 150 years ago, judging by the cowherd featured in the foreground. I've gone for a sepia treatment here as a bit of an homage.
On the day there were a number of other photographers using this viewpoint - one chap with an entry level Canon on a tripod, who gave me a look when I sauntered up, made this image hand held and then sauntered off again. I don't know what I'd done apart from failing to pay the subject enough respect by taking my time over it. Such are the pitfalls of making images on a family outing.
Anyway, I have a few more images from our trip, which I'll post over the next few days.
