Great conditions before and around dawn yesterday morning, I am still not happy with the composition, thinking more about it the light is coming from the wrong direction at the moment...Back to the drawing board I guess.

The Aurora can be seen through the clouds above Higger Tor. The amount of light pollution from Manchester is staggering. The wind wasn't to strong at the Wooden Pole, but the constant dazzle from car headlights made long exposures difficult, so I moved to Burbage Edge and though the wind was much stronger I was able to watch the best display of the Northern Lights I have ever seen in the UK.
The last stop of my recent shoot. The sun was very low lying and producing some really strong shadow and colour tones.

Higger Tor is a gritstone outcrop overlooking the Burbage valley and the iron age hill fort of Carl Wark. Both of these locations fall within the city limits of Sheffield and are in the Peak District National Park.
A time-lapse video of last night's sunset. It's taken from the Longshaw estate looking towards the Hope Valley and with Kinder Scout in the far background. 570 images captured over approximately one hour have produced this 23 second video. The panning effect was created in-camera.

Higger Tor, Peak District, UK.
A cold Higger Tor looking to Carl Wark last Friday before work. I must remember the pre-dawn glow can sometimes be better than when the light hits the landscape.
This Image made from some shots taken over a period of approximately 1 hour late evening on 17/03/2016.
One of Higgers' tors looking towards Stanage Edge on an almost perfect day for using a polarising filter.
First light at Higger Tor. A lull in the current weather resulted in a perfect morning.

Things didn't look too promising at first for seeing the Summer Solstice Sunrise, with lots of cloud obscuring the horizon. However, shortly after sunrise, just after 5am the sun finally broke through and bathed Carl Wark Hillfort* in beautiful golden light.
This is the view across Hathersage Moor from the path between Winyard's Nick and Over Owler Tor.
* Carl Wark is unlikely to be an Iron Age Hillfort in the usual sense of the term, but is refered to as such on OS maps etc.
Higger Tor Inversion 14052023 - probably the most dense inversion I've ever seen, when I first arrived there was only Stanage visible the rest was just cloud with the sound of a cuckoo calling from down in Burbage Moor
The hill known as Carl Wark lies close to Higgar Tor between Stanage and Burbage Edges. It rises high above Burbage Brook and is a fine natural defensive position, so it was used as a fort long ago.
It is very likely that the hill was fortified in the Iron Age (or earlier) at the same time as Mam Tor, which you can see from Higgar Tor, only a few hundred metres away, and a plaque alongside the hill records this. However, archaeologists now tend towards the view that the massive fortifications which can still be seen at the western entrance were probably constructed in the Romano-British period at the start of the Dark Ages, maybe about 500 AD, so the fort has a long and probably complex history of occupation.
Along with nearby Higgar Tor, the hill is a fine viewpoint and makes a nice walk from the Fox House Inn on the Hathersage to Sheffield road.
Nice to see just before The Winter Solstice and Christmas. The wind was quite strong making it hard to steady the tripod. I think the moonlight will wash out much of the display, but you can still see a nice green arc over Higger Tor through the broken cloud.
One of the small gritstone tors on Higger Tor. Taken on a damp, misty morning a few weeks ago.

Continuing the theme and posting another reprocessed image from a few years back. This time at Higger Tor. Original shot posted below.
This photo was taken with a Fuji X100T camera with the Fuji X100 TCL lens converter attached, making the lens effectively 50mm focal length instead of the normal 35mm.

Higger Tor just after sunrise provides beautifully lit rock formations. This is looking south-west towards Eyam Moor.
It was great to be able to get out on the moors for an hour this morning, before heading back to Sheffield's Northern General

Higger Tor, Peak District, UK
Saturday afternoon on Higger Tor. I'm putting this down as a nearly shot. I was busy photographing shelter rock and this composition was next on my list. I thought I had more time as the horizon seemed clear from cloud. It wasn't and as I ran up to this composition, I started to lose the sun. The softer lighting worked well but I needed to adjust my position by moving back. But by then light was gone. I still like the feel of this winter light though.
