Seasonal guide to the North York Moors in Outdoor Photography

Outdoor Photography produce an annual guide to Britain's National Parks. This year, they went for something a little different, featuring one large image per national park and a mini guide to some of the best locations in the area, season by season. Quite a challenge to limit yourself to a few great locations when there are just so many to choose!

This particular image is from two years ago and was taken on a gloriously clear evening in late Spring. I used strong polarisation to emphasise the vivid blue sky and green barley. My favourite image from this viewpoint is a winter's image (in my North Yorkshire Gallery) when, with no crops to trample, I was able to get closer to the lovely oak tree and so have a bit more control over the composition.
