    Awesome shot in many ways tht have been stated. It only leaves me with one question. How early exactly is stupid early?

  • Simon Mears replied

    thanks Michael.. i got down to the harbour for 4am although this was taken after about an hour or so of messing around.. use of the tripod was essential of course.

    A wonderful capture Simon. The tranquility is a far cry from the usual summer bustle of the place. I live just 15 miles up the coast from here and never tire of seeing images of Whitby. Was this an early morn or a late night!!!!

    Hi Lane. thanks for your interest and your comments. it’s great just to get our photos seen by more than just family and friends.. this photo was an early morning, i think 27th December, i stayed in a B & B there and got up around 4am and stayed there until 8ish or breakfast time!

    This is a great shot. There is so much going on in every level, and you’ve managed to get detail in the cloud. You braved that stupid but magical hour and were rewarded with a killer shot. Nice work!
