The Derbyshire Peak District. The heather is just about to turn.

Was out with platzy on our usual walking/photography trip :D
Been very busy and not had much time for getting out and about over the summer. However, managed to squeeze in a sunrise on Higger Tor this Sunday morning... although the sun didn't seem quite as keen to show up as I was!
The heavy clouds make for a nice, heavy late summer scene however and the diffused light more suitable to black and white.

This was the morning in early January where I'd, rather stupidly, made it three 5am starts in 4 days. I walked up in the dark rain from Hathersage and had an hour to hang around on Higger Tor before sunrise. Never before has Shelter Rock been so useful!
Eventually, about half an hour after sunrise... I saw these first glimpses of actual light - and tried to create something different.
This is the result.
Unbelievable snow depths on the walk up from Hathersage, none less so than the drifts up the south side of Higger Tor itself - which was quite a scramble... well worth it all in the end...

Looking West from Higger Tor shortly after sunrise, Peak District, UK.
Four photos stitched. A storm is approaching on the horizon. Shortly after this we were treated to a rainbow then we got wet.
it was a case of running around higger tor on Saturday morning, after watching the sun come over Burbage Edge, it soon became apparent, the light wasn't going to be strong enough to cast the strong red glow from the gris
tone on higger tor, so decided to go for plan b, with a pre-scouted location and shoot directly into the sun, with carl wark on the right hand side.
It was a great morning out, met up with Chris Charlesworth, bumped into Paul Newcombe and met Michael Hanney for the first time too.
Even waved my hand to James Grant who was over at Carl Wark.
Lastly, it was a great experience for the guys at Pascar Photography too - Paul Wu and Oscar Ip
A stormy sunrise on Higger Tor, Derbyshire, UK.
I would much rather shoot on a stormy day than a sunny one.

Looking to Over Owler Tor from Higger Tor, Peak District, UK
after so many frustrating attempts at this rock formation, finally it came together, where the golden light hit the tops of Higger Tor.

A ferociously windy sunrise on Higger Tor, watching rain drive across the moor, lashing against the ancient fort of Carl Wark.
Finally, patience paid off and the sun rose just enough to poke it's fingers through the cloud.

I managed to get out over the Christmas Holiday to shoot some landscapes.. This was my first visit to this popular location in the Peak District in Derbyshire. This view is taken from 'Carl Wark' (a presumed Iron-age Hill-fort) looking towards Higger Tor

Looking to Carl Wark from Higger Tor, Peak District UK.
My first ever sunrise. Well, I've seen a few but never photographed one. The weather report had been looking good for this morning so I decided to go for it. Now I know what it's all about. The difference in quality of light was awe inspiring. Wish I'd remembered my insect repellent. I'd remembered this composition from an afternoon shoot.
Out on Sunday morning for a sunrise. Some nice early colour before the sun rose which quickly faded. Was OK by me as didn't have long to be out anyway!

A second heather shot from Friday's visit to the Longshaw Estate. The first image made it in to Explore. Thanks! I think I prefer this one now, but it's unlikely to join its sibling in Explore. I wondered whether I should clone out those soft focus birds and decided that they were part of the picture's story and left them in. If you look closely you'll see an insect feeding on the tallest branch of heather.
First outing for me since the middle of December.
A cloudless sky went bright very quickly, but there was a decent glow to the rocks on Higger Tor
Higger yet again, it was only a flying visit as I had to be home early to accept a delivery.
The light and colours before dawn were amazing but with no light on the foreground I just took it all in. I now have hundreds of images of one composition I am after but the light still hasn't been to my liking, so I followed this Grouse around for a while and he proved to be a willing subject.
It did remind me of a great photographer and good mate of mine's image, Geoff Simpson's image really was a winner though... Looking forward to hooking up next month when he gets back to Blighty.

Took a walk out along Burbage rocks, Higger Tor and Carl Wark, got absolutely battered with the wind and rain but still enjoyed the exercise. Captured this as the only opportunity to get the camera out, this is of an old packhorse bridge down over Burbage Brook leading upto the Iron Age fort just below Higger Tor.

Higger Tor, Peak District, UK.
-7 Degrees Celsius. It didn't feel too cold as there was no wind (for a change).
Sunrise is now early enough for a photoshoot before work. Problem is, the morning I could manage it had no interesting clouds. At last that again meant uninterupted, warm light.
Starting to get a bit braver with aperture settings. I used f9 for this one with the infinity focussing technique. I seem to have got front to back sharpness.
Single exposure with HiTech 0.9 Hard grad.
