The first trip out since lockdown began, and I headed over to the Yorkshire Dales to meet fellow togger Terry Roberts (Bingleyman) for an afternoon of socially distanced shooting.... in true fashion the weather was fairly grim and wet and we had thought about calling it off, but seeing as I've had so much grief recently about actively going out shooting in poor weather (since I mentioned the same subject at a talk in Birmingham at the NEC) I thought yeh I have to practice what I preach really or I deserve it :-)

Meeting up it was pouring down but this wasn't the end of the world as the 2 falls we visited were both heavily wooded over and the poor light outside did us a real favour lower down at water level...

Thi shot is from the second spot we visited, Catrigg Force, it was like an ice rink down here with extremely slippy limestone that I was sliding about on let alone the tripod...

It was just fantastic to get out again and a top time was had, shooting both of the waterfalls and also researching a couple of spots to revisit again when the light was better higher up. Great to use the longer lens as well, ditching the wide angle for this one.
