A Wind on the Heath

View from Owler Tor looking over Lawrencefield towards Padley Gorge. The Peak District, Derbyshire.

 

"Wind" is putting it mildly with this one. Extremely blustery and challenging conditions for large format, but Portra 400 saved the day. I was hoping for a break in the clouds and to be rewarded with some dramatic side lighting, but it wasn't to be. Regardless, I still like how this turned out.
