A shot I found in my archives from last December.
This abandoned farmhouse is, in my books, the most inhospitable place in the UK. It is constantly wet, it is always windy and it never fails to rain/hail when I visit. However, I keep finding myself driving back whenever I get the chance.
This location favours a winter sunrise which is at a fairly inoffensive time of around 8am. A 45 minute drive and a 20 minute walk is needed to get in position before the sun rises.
I skidded down the ice covered lanes and reached the car-park, ready for the short walk to the farm. It registered -2 degrees from the temperature gauge in the car, however with the wind-chill factor it felt around -15 degrees, ever so slightly warmer than my girlfriends damp, student bedroom.
I placed my camera about a foot away from the old gate so that the farmhouse fitted in-between the slates and took 3 shots from left to right to form a panoramic format.
As the sun rose, the low contrast, winter light shone briefly onto the farmhouse which made it stand out from the dark, moody sky.
