As we are edging towards the summer now with the weather getting nicer and there is more hours of daylight, I am looking at ideas for shots in new, different and scenic places across the North East (and possibly a few other places too).
I have a fair few ideas of possible places for snaps, one idea I am looking at right now is the X93 route which of course starts it's summer timetable next Sunday so I am thinking of ideas for places along the route, some ideas I'd like to try out but not sure how possible it would be for light and traffic in places - I'd like to maybe try: Scaling Dam, Robin Hoods Bay and Cloughton then maybe a few shots around Scarborough before jumping back on a X93.
We have a few services due new buses soon so I will be looking at shots along these routes, obviously I know the Sapphire 7 route very well and I have ideas for this route, I also have some ideas for when the 22/24 become Sapphire too. Unfortunately I don't know many of Go North East routes especially the routes due to receive investment soon (8/78 and 45/46) so I will have to try and learn these routes and does anyone have any ideas for these or other routes.
I know that I would like to achieve originality and come up with unique ideas of my own but I am open to any ideas you may have for places to get shots or any other ideas you may have.
To view my photos go to my Flickr Photostream (link can be found in my signature).
I wonder who here knows these routes like the back of his hand...
...There's some beautiful locations along both routes, Jimmi. The areas surrounding Pelton (served by both the 8 and 78 [as well as 8A and 78A]) are very scenic, with some nice spots you wouldn't really think of to be honest.
Stand on top of Pelton Bridge, and you may get photos of them heading to Sunderland, and Stanley/Consett respectively. Or, get either a Lime or 34/34A to Pelton Lane (that long stretch of countryside between South Pelaw and Pelton) and take photos there, with plenty of countryside?
