Dark December days, with the best of the light fading around 3.30 means it’s not the best month for photography, if you do get a bright clear day then the sun stays low in the sky as can be seen in the pictures of the annual Fishermen v Firemen charity football match which takes place on Boxing Day on the South Bay beach in Scarborough- this was just before 11.00 a.m, and you can see the length of the shadows.

A more challenging job was to get some pictures of the Slung Low Theatre Company who were on a site visit to The Spa in Scarborough where they will perform as part of this year’s Coastival event – the light had all but disappeared behind the cliffs as it set, but it left enough colour in the sky out to sea, so I thought it would be best to use that by placing members of the company in each of the glass windows. Sometimes more challenging conditions make you think a bit more about how you can get a good image from what may not be the best of circumstances.

Finally, some days the extremes of light and weather can come together and give you a special scene.
