Looking west along Higger Tor to the cement works - just after sunrise on the longest day of the year.
A brief interlude from the water vole images!
This was taken a few weeks ago on a trip to the Peak District to photograph red grouse. We were stalking a few birds around Higger Tor as the sun was going down and at one point I turned around and saw this view and just had to try an capture it.
I was shooting with a 300mm f/4 + 1.4x TC (so 630 mm effective focal length on a crop sensor) so capturing any other than a close crop of the landscape was not an option. Therefore, I captured about 9 or so images to make a panorama, from which this is my preferred crop (the uncropped panorama was approx 120 MP!).
Not sure what the hill that forms the subject is, maybe any Peak District dwellers out there could help? This was looking west-southwest from the given tagged location. Also, that isn't sky behind the hill but a taller ridge that I didn't capture the top of.

Having sat on Higger Tor for a couple of hours waiting for some decent light, I left for home feeling quite disappointed as the sun failed to break through the clouds in the right place (us landscape photographers are so fickle!). However, as I was driving towards Millstone Edge the great light that I had been waiting for suddenly materialised. I dropped into the parking spaces at Surprise View and jumped into the nearby heather. I had literally 30 seconds to find and compose the shot. Good job I wasn't using large format and Velvia or I would have missed it!
I must have visited Higger tor 50 times or more,always a pleasant experience.....
Adventures such as this make men boys again; the enthusiasm of youth returns. What a grand thing enthusiasm is! How glorious to be alive when your blood is afire.
I went up to Higger Tor late Wednesday afternoon to capture the sunset, it was extremely bright with hardly a cloud in the sky which makes shooting directly into the sun somewhat challenging, luckily my 4 stop reverse grad made the job a lot easier.
I found a couple of puddles nicely reflecting the sky behind 'Shelter Rock' which I thought would add an extra element to my foreground while going with a vertical shot using the rocks and puddles to get a natural 's' curve in my composition.(1/60 f6.3 @ 11mm NiSi GND16 (4 stop) reverse ND grad 3D printed adaptor)

Sunrise light falls on Shelter Rock, Higger Tor, overlooking Hathersage Moor in the Peak District.
Light at sunrise only falls on this rock for a few weeks during the winter months, as once the sun moves increasingly northwards, other rocks nearby block the light.
Was a bit late up this morning (later than I intended), so only made it to Higger Tor, as it's only about 15 mins from home!
I thought that any colour might be over with quickly, as the forecast was for clearish skies, but it held on for a bit longer before disappearing into the cloud, not to return. As this shot was before sunrise, I used the frozen puddle to inject a bit of colour into the foreground.
This image was taken on Carl Wark looking up towards Higger Tor in the Peak District, UK.

Another from Friday evenings visit to Carl Wark, after shooting the cotton grass I walked up onto Carl Wark to find a good location to shoot the sunset.
I thought that this line of rocks made a strong foreground and liked the way that they were catching the light from the sun. Higger Tor is the raised hump that you can see on the horizon.
I deliberately chose a small aperture to create the starburst effect from the setting sun. (1/6 f11 @ 7mm NiSi 0.9 reverse ND grad filter)
No. 11 - SW64 XAR (1). This ADL Enviro 200 came to Hulleys from Leask of Lerwick and was photographed in a landscape almost as barren as its previous home in the Shetland Islands. Service 258 ran during the summer of 2022 as a Sunday-only variant of the 257. It followed the 257 route via Ladybower as far as Hathersage but then headed back towards Sheffield via Burbage Bridge all the way to Ringinglow, continuing via Fox House to Grindleford before ultimately reaching Bakewell. Eyam was omitted. Innovative certainly, but probably not the best choice of route. The photograph shows No. 11 between Burbage Bridge and Higger Tor on the 1525 journey from Bakewell to Sheffield (running about half an hour late). This is probably the only bus service ever to have featured Higger Tor as an intermediate point on its destination display, and it doesn't look likely to be repeated!
