Sunrise On The Beach

I was thrilled to recently win Natasha's giveaway on her Vintage Pretty blog. Natasha was offering a print of her own photography to one lucky winner to celebrate her 1000th post. I was able to choose the image I so desired from the many photos on her blog, and to say that I was spoilt for choice would be an understatement. If you have visited Natasha's blog you'll know exactly what I mean, she takes some fabulous photos.


With Mick and Eleanor's help, we finally decided on the above from Natasha's Going Home post back in May. Natasha had got up at 4am to go and watch the sun rise on a Northumberland beach and this stunning photo was the result. Take a look at the photo on Natasha's blog as my photo of the photo really doesn't do it justice, it's absolutely beautiful.

Thank you, Natasha, this print will have pride of place just as soon as I get a suitable frame for it.

If you haven't visited Natasha before, I would urge you to do so, you'll see some beautiful photography on her blog.

  4. Your giveaway is lovely and well done you on winning it. I have had a quick glimpse at Vintage Pretty and she has some lovely and unusual photographs. Something for you to aspire to with your new camera.... I'd hadn't thought of creating a gallery page on my blog. Maybe that could be one of my challenges for next year to sort out all the pics on my SD card that I've taken since D bought it for my 50th and create a page. Just need 36 hours in my day instead of 24 and it should be a breeze.

    1. I'm really pleased with the photo I chose, it looks even better in real life. Natasha's a great photographer, she really knows her stuff and can take a wonderful photo. If only we had those 36 hours in a day, I might get more things done that I want to do, though not everything.
