I can’t wait to have more sunset’s like this in the summer, I took this at the back end of last summer getting into autumn. As i was driving to meet friends for a meal i caught a glimpse of this and had to stop and photograph it. Getting the three birds over the tree’s just made this photo. This could of been taken anywhere in the world but it was taken where i live and have grown up. Taken with my Nikon D3400. I love the colour and contrasts.

Is that a Thatched roofed house? 

Why, Yes it is and you can find this gorgeous little slice of Beauty in Thornton-le-dale right on the edge of the North Yorkshire moors, this gorgeous village is also home to the Dalby Forest one of the most lush places in the north of England. I have been passed this house more times than i care to remember its taken me until today to get a picture of this. With out doubt one of the most British cosy looking, dare i say cottages around. This screams olden times and class so perfectly designed and well kept, with a great setting. This will look awesome in the spring with flowers in blossom and the sun on in like today. Well worth a walk around this gorgeous Yorkshire village to see more sights like this. 

Taken with my Nikon D3400 and Nikkor 18 - 55 mm kit lens, shot at 1/50s, F.18, ISO 100.

One of my favourite photos from my trip in to Croatia in October 2017. Taken early morning with a gorgeous sunrise that covered the amazing seaside town of Split, Croatia with the Blaca Mountains in the back ground. The colours and contrast just are perfect couldn't of asked for a better day. This photo was taken handheld which I am so happy with the clarity and focus. Personally this is one of my best photo's I have ever taken!

My inspiration

I don't have a idol in photography. When I first got into Photography I never researched photographers and what they had done and how they had done it. Just over a year and half ago I had booked a holiday to Croatia one of the most beautiful country's in the world at the time and I want to bring photos home that would stand out and look great around the house. I have always loved looking a photos and seeing these amazing places and thought I would love to be able to say I had photos like that and be proud of them.

That's where it began for me! I had been out with my brother and mum for the day and we happened to go into the IT department store and I took myself off to the Camera section, I had already been doing research on them and working out what is the best DSLR to start out with. Due to that I had already a good idea what I want and I took the plunge I bought it that day without a second thought and i have never looked back since.

1 1/2 years down the line and I am wanting to start my own you tube channel on photography, I am trying to get more work as a photographer and I absolutely love being out side with my camera and exploring. I have some photo's I am proud of and I have some that I look back at and think we that's crap. But it's all what has got me to this point and I am loving every minute!

Take in Whitby, North Yorkshire around October 2018. After asking a friend for some help in improving my photography skills, they kindly accept and so i went to the beautiful seaside town of Whitby. This gorgeous picture was take around dusk just before it started to get really dark and rain wasn’t far away. As i was taking the picture i never thought it would turn out as good as it is. it was a very dull day not much light, nothing really anything to make this picture outstanding. But i taught me that you don’t need gorgeous sunlight or blue skies. It is knowing what you want and framing it right. Safe to say i am over the moon with this photo and the colours. It will be one i am going to put up in my house.

Taken last year with help from a friend who has years of experience with photography. This beautiful spot is Sandsend, Whitby. Although there isn’t a gorgeous blue sky and perfect sunset. I still love this photo and the contrasts.

When you open your eyes it's amazing what you can see!

You forgot what is around you and the beauty of the place you live. I visit this gorgeous market town on a weekly basis but I had forgot what picturesque town this place is. Helmsley in the heart of North Yorkshire is place I would recommend you visiting. Some beautiful unique coffee shops, some cute shops and classy views. Taken this just two weeks ago with the sun out it looks even better.

Seaside town but where is it?

North Yorkshire of course. The seaside town of Scarborough, with south bay and the harbour in center field. With the classic castle on the hill looking out to sea. I managed to capture this stunning picture in October last year with a glorious sunset. I love the colours in this photo as well as the contrast.

Looking into the amidst. Could not turn down the chance to get the other half into a photo and get this beautiful shot of the North Yorkshire Moors at the same time. Two natural beauties in the photo. So happy with the exposure and contrast. Lovely blue skies for the middle of winter. The really question is what is the other half pondering?

Having this on my doorstep and been able to enjoy it with my partner is awesome, only a 15 minute drive and in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors is this beaut of a train station known world wide as Hogsmeade Station from the phenomena that is Harry Potter but I know it as Goathland a picturesque village which will have a place in my heart shot with my Nikon D3400 only a few days ago, so glad that the sun came out when I was taking this photo showing the amazing backdrop to this Station. A photo I am proud of. #photography #landscapephotography #nikon #nikond3400 #trainstation #goathland #harrypotter #hogsmeade #northyorkshiremoors #northyorkshire
