Northumberland Coast

[MX5]

Had a few days based in Alnwick and visited a number of places on the coast. As you can see the weather was horrid and wet (as usual for the North West and East) ... well wouldn't want tourists would we ;-) ;-)

1. Harbour entrance


2. Colourful Boat


3. Puffins


4. Seals


5. Bamburgh Castle


6. Nesting Birds


Feel free to be critical on technical aspects. All taken with 7D with either 300 f4 or 24-105.

Yep, looks horrid and wet to me. Fave is the boat and the castle (Which I'm assuming is a pano shot?)

Re: Northumberland Coast

Thanks Di. #1 and #5 are panoramas. The rest are as-is.

The main problem was taking photos (#3, #4 and #6) from a small boat in a 3' swell.

Well spotted I've corrected my error. Trouble is you have far too many castles in Northumberland ;-) I did a panorama of Warkworth as well.

Re: Northumberland Coast

You really are getting your panoramas down to a fine art.
I tried to take some while in Tenerife recently and either I was trying for far too much, which should not matter, or perhaps it was because I was shooting hand held when I should have used a tripod, but was on hols and if a tripod had been packed well I think I would have been left at home...

Nice set and see what you mean about the swell looking at the shot of the puffins in the water.
