Hi everybody I'm off to the dales next friday for a week of photography, and I was wondering if amybody would like to suggest photographic locations / view points for me to try. ( I will be shooting mainly landscape with a 20D and a Mamiya 645)

Many Thanks

Eeyore. I think you'll have photo opportunities wherever you travel in Yorkshire. It's been a few years since we've been there but just about everywhere you go there's brilliant scenery, especially in the dales. My favourite would be around Malham, Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and also around Bolton Abbey and the Strid.
Another place, but the name escapes me(someone will know),is where Robin of Loxley(Kevin Kostner) had his encounter with Little John in the river, in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.Just remembered-Aysgarth Falls. Beautiful area. The water is freezing and crystal clear. I could go on but I'm sure others will fill you in on the best. Hope you have a great trip and really look forward to seeing your photos. WW

Wild-Woman - do you mean Hardraw Force near Hawes. It really is a lovely waterfall and the surrounding countryside is beautiful too. I agree with you eeyore will be spoilt for choice in the Dales.

Have a great time eeyore.

You're probably right, it was a few years back and we went to so many places. i know we went there after we visited Wensleydale. Oh my brain doesn't recall like used to. :-(
