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.

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

Higger Tor is a gritstone outcrop near to Hathersage in the Derbyshire Peak District.
Great views with big skies in all directions!
Visited Higger Tor in Peak District yesterday. A very troublesome photographic session. One of the old film backs on my Hasselblad 500 CM had light leaks & the 2nd ' good one ' malfunctioned. I also used a 120 roll of Fomapan 200 which as per normal had a faulty emulsion full of specs of something. The lighting was also quite flat by the time I took these photos. In any case these two make for reasonable viewing at a small scale. Both were shot using a Zeiss 50mm F4 Distagon C T* @ F 11 with a B&W F-Pro light yellow filter, Fomapan 200 @ iso 100 developed in 510 Pyro 1+100 for 12 minutes semi stand development @ 20C.

A lovely sunrise this morning at Higger Tor. My first of 2014. The light from the sun was a little weak as it rose into a thin layer of cloud.
I had a full day's holiday planned but I'm having to work some of it. It's a pity, because, with the weather report being promising, I'd probably have been up Kinder Scout. Never mind. Higger Tor is a wonderful location and never the same twice.
Shot from the top of Higger Tor in late summer. On arrival here I was disappointed to find a lack of clouds. However, one did drift into view as if by magic, which enabled me to compose a shot with some interest in the warm early morning light.
A wonderful walk over Hathersage Moor to Higger Tor on Wednesday. In the distance is Higger Tor rising from the surrounding moorland photographed from the rocky edge of the Carl Walk Iron Age Hill Fort.
The moorland was looking particularly beautiful, a blanket of lush bracken and flowering heather rising abruptly to the rocky outcrops of Higger Tor.
Higger Tor is a dominant landmark of the Dark Peak, in the north of the Peak District National Park. It is a gritstone tor overlooking the Burbage Valley and the iron age hill fort of Carl Wark to the southeast.
Back to last Saturday morning and after shooting the sunrise we wandered around Higger Tor, the light during the golden hour was exquisite having a mix of warm golden rays and soft subtle pastels due to the light mist in the far valleys.
The rock in the foreground is known locally as the dinosaurs paw and made the perfect object for foreground interest being lit by the low morning sun complete with the distant iron-age fort of Carl Wark also bathed in soft golden light. Definitely a morning worth getting up at 4am for.(1/6 f9 @ 12mm 0.6 hard ND grad filter)
