A Sunrise Worth Waking Up For

Join me for the final episode of this three-part photography series from an overnight stay in Bamburgh, Northumberland, one of the most breathtaking coastal locations in England. With vast sandy beaches, rolling dunes, distant islands, a striking castle and nearby lighthouses, this is truly a dream destination for coastal and landscape photography. In Episode One, I travelled from Scotland to England and explored Bamburgh Castle and the surrounding coastline. In Episode Two, I slowed the pace, heading to the lighthouse and experimenting with long exposure photography along the shore.

From soft pastel skies and minimalist compositions over distant islands… to golden light sweeping across the dunes and reflections in the wet sand, this episode captures the magic of early morning seascape photography and the beauty of simply showing up. Along the way, I reflect on: - The challenge of getting out for sunrise — and why it’s always worth it - The difference between photographing familiar places and new locations - A more mindful, slower approach to photography - Finding inspiration in light, colour, and simplicity This episode is not just about photography — it’s about reconnecting with creativity, embracing the moment, and experiencing the quiet beauty of the coast at sunrise. 📍 Location: Bamburgh, Northumberland, England If you'd like more inspiration for your photography journey, you can sign up for my Free Monthly Mindful Photography Guide: https://bit.ly/4c7qMCu Mindful Coastal Photography Retreats 🌊 https://kimgrant.net/coastal-retreat-dates Support my Channel 🙏 https://ko-fi.com/kimgrant Subscribe to my newsletter 📰 https://www.kimgrant.net/newsletter Follow on Instagram http://www.instagram.com/kimgrantnet Website: https://kimgrant.net #landscapephotography #bamburgh #sunrise
