Shelter Rock, Peak District with some lovely evening winter light hitting it.
The light was ethereal lighting up the land, foreground and it was a great time to capture this scene in the Peak District, in the distance you can see Mother Cap and the tip of Over Owler Tor as we

Shelter Rock, Higger Tor, Peak District, UK.
I don't like this image as much as my recent upload. but I couldn't resist a photo of Shelter Rock in these wonderful conditions. What I do prefer about this image is that there's more snow. Three images stitched to a panorama. More of this at the weekend please.

Having popped down the side for some shots, I came back up a shortwhile later and viewed this scene again. I wan't sure how it would look with my 24mm TSE lens, so on it went and a succession of exposures were fired off. Blended and stitched to provide a much wider view that the 18mm focal lenth below. The tones were noticeably cooler by now as the sun has risen much higher.

The first shoot of 2013, and what started out as a drab, foggy and damp day turned out to be quite bright and sunny... although that sky seems a little weird to me (and not because of processing!)
Bouldering today out at Higger Tor in the Peak District with some friends.. Lovely and warm, gentle breeze and some hard problems!

The sun sinks behind the distinctive shape of Over Owler Tor. Seen from the path that leads across the ramparts of Carl Wark on Hathersage Moor.
Carl Wark is classed as an Iron Age fortification. However, no certain date has yet been determined for the building of it's walls and dates spanning from the Neolithic to Dark Ages have been suggested.
It's is thought that the name derives from 'Carl's Work'. Carl being an old name for the Devil.
Beautiful countryside in any direction, as far as the eye (or lens) can see.

I quite like the bleakness of this image, and it could be anywhere, hence he title. By now the sun was much higher, and with a predominantly clear sky, I thought to crop the sky out entirely, just leaving a hint of the glow below the horizon.
Higger Tor is a favourite of local artists. It's crowning rocks belie its mediocre stature. Still on a night like this...
A peaceful evening enjoying each others company as the sun goes down. Just me taking photos from a distance to spoil the mood.

A rare (for me) middle of the day shot taken during a recce of the area around the iron age hill fort of Carl Wark.

Following on from my previous uploads, this was taken quite a bit after sunrise and the light was becoming borderline harsh. I've wanted a panoramic image of this view for some time. The Winter sun and snow being the ideal conditions.
I'll try this again with hopefully more snow and warmer light to get what i'm after. For now, i'm not too displeased with how its turned out.
Thanks for looking.
Pleased to have caught some sun at last - Higger Tor sunrise, Peak District National Park.

I seem to have got a bit carried away taking panoramic images at Higger Tor last Friday morning. This was more of an experimental shot tbh as I wanted to see how it would look processed. The fg is a touch under exposed, probably by about 2/3 stop, which helped make it look more natural due to the dynamic range. I normally bracket atleast 5 frames to allow for sufficient overlap.
The colour from the sunrise had mostly washed out by now, leaving mostly bluey tones reflected by the snow.
Had a fabulous sleep last night! A good 9 hours or so - probably helped by the fact I've got a bit of a cold at the moment.
We had a reasonably relaxed start, then popped over to the Co-Op for some lunch things, and then headed over to Longshaw Estate to start a walk from there - to Carl Wark and Higger Tor, taking in Burbage Rocks on the way back. All beautiful! The weather was very kind to us, too. I was pretty knackered by the end of the walk, but it was lovely to be out in beautiful countryside :)
Picked up some delicious fish and chips for our dinner back at the cottage, and had a very relaxed evening in.
