This image was taken on Thursday evening, I'd met up with Shaun to capture the sunset and we headed up onto Higger Tor. It was a glorious evening with some lovely warm light although quite breezy and fairly cool. This was taken just before the the sun dropped into a thick layer of cloud so we actually missed the sunset but I'm not complaining when I had light like this just before.(Olympus EM-1 mk2 7-14mm f/2.8 pro 1/50 f/6.3 @ 8mm NiSi GNDR 1.2(4 stop) reverse grad)
My end destination before deciding the legs and back were complaining a little too much and returned to Surprise View car park.
Rapidly clearing mist and cloud finally allowing a view of Higger Tor and Over Owler Tor from Stanage Edge. A view minutes earlier even the road was hidden from sight by the cloud and mist.

Higger Tor • Peak District National Park • 16th January 2022
The best of the weather managed to escape me this week, so here’s a moody morning shot from Higger Tor.
Derbyshire
A sprinkling of snow and blue sky was a bit of a shock early Sunday morning. Carl Wark to the left is an Iron Age Hill Fort and Higger Tor is to the right.
Hidden away in Malta, the Popeye film with Robin Williams was filmed here. On this dull day when we spotted it from the cliffs, there something 'Scooby Doo' about the almost-empty theme park with music blasting out of it.
The Hope Valley from Higger Tor at dawn. Glorious morning, worth getting up at 4am for.

A fantastic morning on Higger Tor when it all just comes together. Albeit briefly.
At first, with the hill cloaked in low cloud, it didn't look too promising. However, the sun managed to sneak below the cloud line briefly as it cleared the horizon, then light up the mist with quite breath taking effect.
One of those morning that serves as a reminder why I love landscape photography and the places I visit so much!

This is my first attempt at shooting the Milky way using a star tracker.
I bought the Move Shoot Move star tracker back in April during lockdown, and finally got chance to try it out last month. I went to Higger Tor in the Peak District for it's first outing. The foreground is a two minute exposure and the sky was tracked for one minute, then the two images blended together in Photoshop.
My first visit to this area of the northern Peak District was gifted with a beautiful pastel sunrise over Carl Wark and the aptly named Kit Kat stones, on Higger Tor.
Quite windy and hard to avoid camera shake, but the best display I have been able to watch with the naked eye from Derbyshire. Just totally stunning :)
The weather had been miserable all weekend and I was sat at home on Sunday evening when a photographer friend across the other side of The Peaks mentioned a break in the cloud. At 5:20pm I grabbed my camera and made a mad dash to Higger Tor, literally as I arrived the sky broke and there was literally a few minutes of light before the stormy sky and rain came in. Not the best composition but making the most of the conditions.

As nothing new for what seems like ages (well more than 3 weeks is a long time!!), I thought I'd inflict another from a frosty morning up on Higger Tor a few weeks ago.
Had a trip out Saturday morning to meet up with Andrew Yu and Chris Charlesworth. We met up at Mam Tor in a blanket of fog, but quickly relocated to Higger Tor, as Chris had driven past earlier and said it was clearer. Well, needless to say, in the meantime, the mist had descended over Higger, but I think we all managed to get something from our morning, before calling it a day.
This is Andy getting his shot!
