11 years ago it was the Norfolk resort of Cromer and I was playing with an ND3.0 (10 stop) neutral density filter to give long exposure times… this 15 second exposure being my favourite!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago it was Seacliff Beach and Auldhame Castle in East Lothian.
Auldhame Castle dates from the 16th century and although now a ruin it is still an impressive structure overlooking the Firth of Forth. Not much is known about Auldhame’s history, it is somewhat overshadowed by its near neighbour Tantallon Castle.
