....and here is a little video of those passing aeroplanes made from a few of my startrail shots. (There is no airport within many miles of this location!).
Taken with the Olympus XA4 camera which I previously used in week 131 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

Orwo NP55 film from Six Gates Films of Milan, developed in Rodinal 1:50 45 mins semi-stand at 20 degrees.
This was taken atop Higger Tor looking down onto Carl Wark Fort - which was something I'd never heard of until I saw it on the OS Map (see Wikipedia's stub for more info).
You can also see in the distance Longshawe Hall, where my car was parked. Long way isn't it!
A freezing sunrise shot, taken from Higger Tor, Derbyshire, UK.
Apart from the nice sunrise colours, I really like the frozen puddles in the foreground in this shot.
Captured using a Nikon D90 and Tokina 20-35mm, f2.8 lens.
The glorious weather over the last couple of days has meant being able to get out and about away from the city and into the the countryside.
Higger Tor is a fantastic rocky outcrop overlooking a valley and offering views in all directions.
This particular occasion offered incredible views into the distance as there was excellent visibility and no haze.
Taken from the western end of Higger Tor looking just west of north towards Stanage Edge.
Processed to try to remove the colour casts caused by reflections off of the clouds.

From a quick visit to Higger Tor on sunday, a spur of the moment thing and two hour drive, haven't been here for over 18 months, you can tell winter is on its way
A stormy sunset on Higger Tor, Peak District, Derbyshire, UK.
Shot with a Nikon D700 and Sigma 15-30mm lens.
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!

Higger Tor from Carl Wark in the Derbyshire Peak District. Despte the appearance, this is a very accessible area of moorland and ideal for an afternoon's walk. Carl Wark is the site of what is believed to be an iron age fort.

Due to the overcast and wet weather it seems it's the season to look back on old images. This one was from a glorious summer sunrise in August 2011. Not much in the way of processing as it was shot in jpg. Just sharpening, levels and a bit of desaturation.
Happy New year everyone.
Higger Tor seen across Hathersage Moor.
Taken with an Olympus μ (mju) zoom wide 80 camera on Agfaphoto Vista 200 film.
Taken about 6.30am on Higger Tor looking west across the Hope Valley towards Castleton and Mam Tor. Stanage Edge to the Right in the distance. Cant wait for that heather to turn colour. It's gonna happen soon.
Out first thing Wednesday morning to shoot the sunrise but needed to be back home in time to take Sam to school so it had to be Higger Tor, it looked fairly promising when I first arrived with colour starting to develop above the horizon unfortunately so was a large bank of cloud, the sun almost made an appearance at its allotted time just giving a faint glow from behind the cloud layer before fading away completely, I hung around and gradually the sun began to gain strength and showed itself again throwing some lovely warm light over Carl Wark and the surrounding hills.(1/8 f9 @ 12mm 0.9 reverse ND grad filter)

Out this morning for sunup, and headed to Higger Tor. Wrong choice I reckon as low cloud obscured the sunrise completely.. I think that Curbar would have been good this morning judging by the way the light was in the distance, and seemed to be hitting the ground right over the Curbar area!
This was taken about an hour after sunrise, and I loved the strip of light over Castleton, but lighting Mam Tor and the Great Ridge
