Gathering Storm WHITBY HARBOUR

4. Gathering Storm, Whitby Harbour: Whitby is one of my favourite places, I find myself returning time and time again. Finding different images is difficult and rather than looking for different parts of the town to photograph, I try to convey the different moods of the place created by weather and light. The subject matter is ordinary to my mind, but I think it is worthy as an image because of the drama in the sky above the headland and abbey. I think that the image would be one of my finest if the weather was even more dramatic that day and had caused large waves to crash against the piers and harbour mouth, but you can’t have everything.
