Last weekend, Friday to Sunday, was spent in the Yorkshire dales NP. We have passed the area before, on the way to the Lake District NP, but this time actually stopped and explored the area.
For the first time this year we were to camp and the weather couldn't be worse. Showers, snow, hail and chilly winds, but there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing :) So in the end it was not too bad.
The list of things to do and see was filled, so we kept busy and warm.
First was the circular trail 'Ingleton Waterfalls', it's 8km of a walk along River Twiss and Doe with their 8 waterfalls through woodland and a bit on the moors. It's a very nice trail, rather easy but unique with its waterfalls as you can get Very close to them.
The trail took us 3-4hrs to walk, with all the photo breaks. And they were many because there were so many nice things to shoot ;)More on the other walks and sightseeing in the next post. Until then Have a great Sunday!
I have been playing with water again, but this time i added olive oil. I have seen in photo magazines how to get cool abstract images of oil and water, so I made an attempt yesterday.
I had difficulty getting the oil to form circles, for the oil were dissolved by the water, I tried with olive and sunflower oil. But after experimenting with different amounts of oil so it was easiest to get circles when it was only a few teaspoons of oil in the water, in the beginning I poured in several tablespoons and then it's just got thick and had a lot of small bubbles.
To get the colors to the image I lifted up the bowl and then just simply add different colored paper, foil and other colorful things under it and then i highlighted them by two small spot lights from the side.
Camera equipment i used, Nikon 3Ds with tamron macro sp90mm Di and a tripod.
Over the weekend, I will go away to Edinburgh (Scotland), so images from there next week.
