May Spate, River Tees, Broken Scar Weir, North England by 


A really break in the weather, provided the opportunity to shoot the River Tees in Spring Spate, ripping over Broken Scar Weir. The Peat Moorlands from whence the River rises adds the lovely honey toned peat stain to the water.

Location: Broken Scar Weir, Darlington, County Durham,North East England. 11th May 2012.

Whatever precautions you take so the photograph will look like this or that, there comes a moment when the photograph surprises you. It is the other’s gaze that wins out and decides.

Book Recommendation: Photographic Composition, A Visual Guide: Richard D Zakia and David A. Page…..very useful as it has much to do with the mental processes, with which we use to see and visualise before the shutter is pressed.

    Great capture Ian! Glad you’re camera dried out!

  • Thanks Dee, today though, the LCD has thrown the towel in, and it’s unusable.

    Wow… I thought it would be a total loss mate.

    One click of the banner will take you to the group. Your work is welcome here and please enjoy it.

  • Derek, it worked long enough to get the pictures off. Today the LCD screen has totally packed up, making it unusable. Having it looked at, but if the repair costs = half it’s value, I’m writing it off !
