First attempt at a car time lapse. Been wanting to try it for ages, and was heading out to Higger Tor for sunrise shoot with Moff so seized the moment. Pleased with it for a first attempt!
a flying visit to Higger Tor..the pre-sunrise light was amazing for my first shot as the vivid light was reflected across frozen peat puddles (5sec f8 @ 12mm 0.9 reverse ND grad)

The mist was very thick when I arrived, about 30min before sunrise. It cleared slightly for about 20min as the sun came up then turned foggy again.
This image was taken at Higger Tor, Derbyshire, UK.
Shot with a Nikon D300 and 18-105mm kit lens.
I use this lens a lot. It's very versatile and surprisingly good optically, even though it's a kit lens.

From Wikipedia:
Carl Wark is located at grid reference SK259814,[1] at an elevation of about 370 metres (1,214 ft) above sea level.[2][3] Hathersage is about 3 kilometres (1.86 mi) to the west; Sheffield City Centre about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) to the north-east.[2] Historically this was within the ancient county of Derbyshire, but the surrounding area was annexed to the City of Sheffield in 1933, and now lies in the ceremonial county of South Yorkshire.[3]
The promontory is a Millstone Grit outcrop[4] situated in Hathersage Moor. From the north it is overlooked by the higher 434 metres (1,424 ft) peak of Higger Tor.[5] To the east is the valley of the Burbage Brook, which is overlooked by Burbage Edge, a Millstone Grit escarpment. The land gently slopes away to the south following the course of Burbage Brook into the valley of the River Derwent. To the south-west, the land rises towards Winyards Nick and Over Owler Tor.[2]
A short walk from the Longshaw Lodge car park in the Gritstone part of the Peak District.
South from the car park then through a wooded section down towards Grindleford station.
From there, up through Yarncliff wood overlooking Padley Gorge, and following the path, crossing the Burbage Brook and continuing up the western side. At the top of the gorge a path back to the lodge car park is on the other side of the road.
I had intended a longer walk to include the ascent of Carl Wark hill fort, but the increasing air temperature made me take the shorter option. I'll try to do the longer walk when the heather is out. (Maybe even include Higger Tor if I have the energy).
It wasn't always clear at Higger Tor this morning.
Looking west towards the Shelter Stone along the southern edge of Higger Tor.
The subtlest of dawns colours the skies above Higger Tor. Over Owler Tor and Mother Cap Rock rise above the early morning mist cloaking Hathersage.
Another image from Wednesdays early morning visit to Higger Tor. This was taken 1/2 an hour or so before the sunrise as the pre-dawn light began to appear building some lovely colour in the sky, the low light levels required a long shutter speed to get the exposure right which in turn has recorded the fast moving clouds into a soft blur, I think this adds an extra element and makes a nice contrast to the static rocks in the foreground.(10secs f10 @ 12mm 0.9 reverse ND grad filter)
