I went walking in the Peak District today. It was a little unplanned (I'd actually gone out to do some shopping...) but the weather was just too nice, so I detoured and headed north.
This was the view from the top of a big outcrop I saw from the road and just had to climb. I now know it's called Higger Tor. So this is the view from the top of Higger Tor, looking south over Hathersage Moor.
A thoroughly enjoyable day.
For Christmas I received the excellent "Photographing The Peak District" by Chris Gilbert and Mick Ryan. During my hike I made it my mission to find
On the front cover is this composition shot by Chris which instantly recognised as being by absolute favourite tor on the High Peak; Higger Tor. Carl Wark had been on my list of places I wanted to explore and I just had to find this composition and shoot my own version of it. In a spooky coincidence the conditions and light were almost the same as when Chris shot it. I didn't quite frame it up exactly the same and went for a dead centre composition, but it was a very fun exercise getting 99% of the way there.
A big thank you to my Uncle T for the lovely gift and to Chris Gilbert for presenting such a beautiful composition...he must have been jumping for joy when he found this one!

A stormy sunrise on Higger Tor, Derbyshire, UK.
I would much rather shoot on a stormy day than a sunny one.

We went for a walk on Higger Tor, it was blowing a gale. Austen was bracing himself against the wind to take a shot.
Carl Wark Fort, Hathersage Moor , Derbyshire, taken from a point on the Sheffield Country Walk. The fort is believed to have been used as a fortification from the Iron Age up through the Romano - British period and possibly last fortified against the Germanic tribes at the end of the Romano-British period once the Roman Legions had withdrawn. This would give it a working life of five hundred to one thousand years. Higger Tor is the high point of the ridge to the top left of the picture, a well known landmark.

Went out to see if we could see the sunset on the longest day.. Sadly not! But saw these instead! On exercise I guess?
