Scale Beck

[Ken Rennie]

One of my waterfall Wednesday images was from Scale Beck. It was a very overcast day but as I was lining up an image I sensed the light changing and turned round and managed this shot before the brief watery sunshine disappeared. It may interest you to note that this was taken at 5 past 3 and by half past it was dark. Sunset is supposed to be quarter to four but in the steep sided valleys it is often dark by then. I will need to return here just after heavy rain to get images when the beck is in full flow. Ken

This is an interesting scene. Do you have one from a point further to the left and pointed more directly at the sunset?

Unfortunately not, the blink of sun lasted less than 30seconds.

Good eye to catch the bit of changing light you captured here. Interesting scene - I'd love to see some more from this area. Rugged hillsides but nice looking pastures in the distant valley.

This is really cool Ken. I like how the water flows between those 2 trees. There is a lot of interesting detail and I think that a return visit is a great idea as there will be lots of great shots that can be captured there.

The forecast is for heavy rain on Tuesday so I may visit on Wednesday, latest forecast is for rain on Wednesday too. The walk in, only 2.5 miles is interesting as it passes a stream about 3 times this size that falls in a continuous series of small falls for 1200 ft, from a distance it is a continuous white line. I have never produced a good image from here and I never seen one from anyone else. The hilside is very steep so exploring the stream on the off chance of a good image is beyond me. Ken

This is great!
