KNOW-HOW // PHOTOGRAPHY
PICTURE PERFECT
Whether you’re looking to capture a jaw-dropping view or snap a candid street scene, here are some inspiring places to grab those top shots
Whitby, North Yorkshire
Positioned as it is on the North Yorkshire coast and with its literary connections to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Whitby (www.visitwhitby.com) has an alluring quality that presents a fun challenge for snappers seeking to capture its unique atmosphere. The Gothic architecture of its buildings makes a great starting point, and you’re highly likely to discover a Goth or two wandering the streets, particularly during the Whitby Goth Weekend in October. However, for sheer drama, historic Whitby Abbey is hard to beat.

Wastwater, Cumbria
You’re spoilt for subject choice in the Lake District, but it’s the combination of natural beauty and dramatic position that makes Wastwater (visitcumbria.com) a great starting point for anyone who is looking to take quality landscape shots. The lake is huge, at three miles long and 260ft deep, but it’s the mountains of Scafell Pike, Great Gable and Kirk Fell that perfectly frame it. The hills and scree are a perfect foil for the rich blue water.
