Just around the corner from the river view is the Castle itself which is fantastic to shoot. Again when illuminated it can look pretty cool at night. I plan to take some more shots here at night in the near future. The castle is mainly ruins but there's a small part which you can still pay to have a look around inside. However, when you combine the soft, rolling countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds, the moorland and gritstone of the South Pennines, and also many varied locations outlying industrial West Yorkshire, it becomes apparent that you could spend a lifetime here with a camera, and barely scratch the surface of what’s accessible.

As already mentioned several times in this York series, the city gets extremely busy. Each year, 8.4 million tourists visit York to hit up the top attractions, walk the city walls and take a stroll down The Shambles. Brown hares are superb at hiding, and during large parts of the day they lie low in a ‘form’ – a small depression in the ground (they don’t dig burrows like rabbits). They press their body flat to the ground at any sign of danger, only fleeing at the very last moment if disturbed. Try keeping your camera completely level, and walking down the steps until you have the right balance of foreground/sky. This will ensure that those verticals are all dead straight. From experience, you’ll also find that you can include one of the old, antiquated lamps in the left of your composition, and all the elements complement each other nicely. Ideally, you want all the hares to be in front of you so that you can remain hidden. Because of the open nature of the ground that hares frequent, cover is usually limited or non-existent – but you may be able to make use of a hedgerow or a stone wall, or sometimes it’s possible to utilise the natural undulations of the ground. During the summer months, this is a must-visit location for nature enthusiasts and photographers; its huge colony of gannets is as spectacular as the scenery.

Yorkshire covers a vast and diverse area supporting an abundance of wildlife with excellent photographic opportunities throughout the year. Personally speaking, it’s an invaluable source of inspiration; a labour of love covering thousands of miles and many years. My own early attempts at trying to photograph brown hares were largely unsuccessful, mainly as a result of my incompetence in the art of stalking. In my experience, brown hares invariably flee if they spot a human approaching them and so the likelihood of getting close to one is very small if you try to walk directly towards them.

This has not been an exhaustive guide as there is truly too much to cover in this magnificent (and large) county.Earlier this year, Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, unveiled plans to ban police from recording NCHIs just because someone is offended. They are creatures of habit, and knowing where they’ll be at any given time will increase your odds of success. As with stalking, be aware of the wind direction as hares have a keen sense of smell and hearing, so you’ll need to approach or be positioned with the wind in your face. In September, as the days begin to draw in and mild daytime temperatures meet cooler nights, many of those same valleys will be filled with mist in the mornings, with the higher ground appearing to give a view from above the clouds. The other standout highlight in the Dales is the fascinating limestone pavements. Although these geological wonders can be found elsewhere in the UK, the Dales is blessed with a large number of attractive examples, and combined with the beautiful surrounding scenery they’re a photographer’s playground. Sunset is a great time to take photos. That’s true for most places across the globe. York is no different. Make sure your camera is charged up and ready to go during sunset. That way you can capture some fab shots of the city as night falls! Other great spots for photography in Yorkshire:

Bolton Abbey is perhaps most famous for its 12th-century Augustinian monastery, a magnificent ruin that has stood the test of time. The area is privately owned and has been featured in the BBC2 series “The Trip,” where Steve Coogan had a memorable mishap on the stepping stones across the River Wharf. Speaking of the river, the Strid is a narrow but extremely deep and dangerous section where the whole of the River Wharf is forced through a six-foot gap. It’s said that no one who has fallen into the Strid has lived to tell the tale. So, as tempting as it may be, don’t even think about jumping over it! Geology: The Making of the Strid

Knaresborough is a small town near Harrogate in North Yorkshire. Knaresborough is home to a great range of photogenic places such as its river, gorge, castle and viaduct's. Like the Moors, the Yorkshire Dales are recognized as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and are home to the Yorkshire Three Peaks. As well as areas of moorland, woodland, wildflower meadows, limestone pavements, reservoirs, and dramatic river gorges. Our photography commences the next morning and runs through until 4:00pm on the final day. We will visit a number of diverse locations, all of which will offer you numerous challenges and provide you with ample opportunity to practice a number of techniques. There will also be the opportunity for dawn (conditions permitting) and dusk photographic shoots. The valley is also prone to filling with mist after cooler, calm nights, and this only adds more atmosphere to your woodland images. Spring can also be a great time to visit, and there are areas that become carpeted in bluebells around the beginning of May. It’s difficult to resist a good reflection shot, and the glass-like pond behind Gibson Mill is perfect for this. Bridestones Moor, Todmorden, West Yorkshire

The retired social worker was looking at a transgender flag-themed poster in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, which carried the slogan “stand by your trans”. She had previously written to the group behind the poster, Happy Valley Pride, with concerns about allowing transgender women into female-only spaces.Caves: The caves are not just historically significant; they also make for intriguing subjects, especially when explored in low light conditions. Yorkshire’s east coast is a haven for birds, with resident populations that are boosted by seasonal migrations and good opportunities for photography throughout the year. 1. Bempton Cliffs One of the best views in Knaresborough, is the famous view from the castle gardens overlooking the river Nidd and the viaduct. This is easily one of the most photographed places in the town, which is always great to shoot regardless of the time of day or year. I've taken many photos at this spot but my favourite time to take photos there is at night. The river is illuminated by lights from the surrounding houses and roads. It's a great opportunity for a long exposure, especially if the train is going over the viaduct. Equipment-wise, I would recommend you travel light as there is a decent walk to the viewpoints – a telephoto zoom lens would be perfect. I was exploring the area in exactly this way a few years ago, and came across this undulating field and disused farmhouse at Fridaythorpe. I’ve since returned and photographed it in most seasons and at different times of day. It still remains one of my favourite locations in the Yorkshire Wolds. Huggate, Yorkshire Wolds
