Spring in Teesdale

06/05/2026

Spring was in the air during our last Beginners Photography workshop around Yarm.

The next course is scheduled for Sunday 28th June.

This will likely be the last one for a few months due to my hectic autumn/winter photography workshops diary.

Nice Dad moment today. Taking landscape photos in the Lake District with my daughter Eliza.

We climbed Halin Fell for the views into Martindale and were treated to some beautiful light.

She’s going to be studying photography later this year, maybe I have a new apprentice on my hands. 📷

Up and out early this morning to photograph this property beautifully illuminated by the rising sun.

At this time of year, the front facade only catches the light between 6am and 8am before slipping into shadow for the rest of the day.

Timing is everything when it comes to property photography, and tools like The Photographer’s Ephemeris are invaluable for planning exactly where the light will fall.
