Higger light
First day off so thought I would chance my arm and go for a sunrise this morning, the forecast didn't look too promising but decided to go up to Higger Tor as its only a short drive away and you just never know!
When I set off it didn't look that bad with just a bit of light drizzle, however when I arrived at Higger the drizzle had turned to driving rain with huge gusting winds but as there was a little pink on the horizon I decided to hang around to see what would develop.
Unfortunately things got worse, that sliver of pink turned grey so after 40 minutes I had to admit defeat and squelch my way back home.
Sometimes you can get lucky and these conditions can bring you some of the most dramatic light, sadly not this morning but you have to try these things.
Today's image therefore was taken on a previous visit to Higger when conditions were stacked more in my favour.(1/4 f7.1 @ 12mm 0.9 reverse + 0.6 soft ND grad filters)
