Out early on Sunday morning for a meet up with Harsharn Gill (H4RSX) on Higger Tor.
We got a brief burst of light (no saturation added to this, it really was intense!), and then a gap of about an hour before it reappeared.
Had a thoroughly enjoyable morning in good company, thanks mate.
:)
Another from last Saturday morning up on Higger Tor.
Lovely sunrise and the only person up there to see it as well!
Reprocessed from an earlier file uploaded sometime ago. This is for my upcoming exhibition in Wakefield early next year.
I've been working on this image of Shelter Rock on Higger Tor for a while now and have shot and r-shot it a few times. It's finally starting to get close to how I imagined it!
Although bitterly cold the fantastic warmth of the light as the sun made its appearance certainly warmed me up.

It really takes a panorama to even begin to show just how amazing Hope Valley filled with mist really is...
Defnitely best viewed large on black...

Higger Tor, Peak District, UK
Tried again at Higger Tor. As I arrived I could see it wouldn't be long before the sun dropped below cloud for the evening. So I ran up to Shelter Rock. This was the first shot I took as the light came and went for a few minutes then ... went. Would have been nice to get some light half an hour later. I'll keep trying. Had a walk over to Owler Tor (in the distance) and back again to stretch my legs. More abandoned millstones than I remember at the base of Owler Tor. They might feature at some point.
Last one from the usual haunts, I have decided to point my attentions to other places hopefully including a year long project encompassing all four seasons at one location. All images are Copyright © Hadrian Frankland 2006-2013

Yesterday was amazing with the clouds flowing over the tops & into the valleys..
Today the clouds lay in the valleys! Beautiful..
We walked from Burbage South via Higger Tor, then Carl Wark, then down & up to Fox House for lunch via the Toad. Then back to Burbage South following the line of the crags..
Taken from below Stanage over Hathersage..
Almost 180 degree stitch of 10 pictures.. Need to view 'Larger'!
Higger Tor, Peak District
It felt like quite a while after the sun had risen when I took this sequence of shots, and I had to keep reminding myself that it was only a day away from the Winter Solstice and the sun rises very slowly this time of year.
I ended up spending a lot longer up here than I had planned and didn't see anyone but a fell runner during that time. It's mornings like this that stay with you for a while.

Clearing Mists at Higger Tor, Peak District, UK.
Well, I found some light at sunrise this morning. It was quite misty when I arrived an hour before sunset. As the sun rose it struggled to illuminate the landscape as it burnt the mist off. My jacket was still damp from getting soaked last night and if if wasn't for the greenery you'd have thought it was Autumn or Winter. Hello to the photographer on the horizon. It was his first sunrise shoot and what a magical place for it.
I think I prefer the square crop. Not sure.

Burbage Valley, Peak District, UK
Looking at the weather this morning it didn't look like it was going to be great for photography. But I headed over to Higger Tor anyway. Martin Levers spotted me and pulled up too. We decided to go for a walk as it it didn't look promising. Higger Tor was busy with photographers. We got to Carl Wark and waited a while. Then the sun rose into a gap in the cloud to produce a wonderful sunrise. it was a surprise as it looked like it would rise into cloud. We shot a quite a few frames until rain made it difficult. I then continued on the Burbage circular walk. By this time the sun had risen enough to light up Burbage rocks and the winter light was wonderful to work with. I continued shooting until nearly 11am in good light. This was an hour and a half after sunrise.
I quite like this shot which includes the popular path along Burbage Valley.
The photograph is taken at Winyards Nick on Hathersage Moor. The southern end of Higger Tor is in the background.
A summers walk over Owler Tor and Surprise View near Hathersage in the Peak District. The heather is in flower at the moment and the Peak moors look superb.
This is taken from the top of Surprise View looking across towards Higger Tor with Stanage to the left.

A ferociously windy sunrise on Higger Tor, watching rain drive across the moor, lashing against the ancient fort of Carl Wark.
Finally, patience paid off and the sun rose just enough to poke it's fingers through the cloud.

Higger Tor seen at sunrise from the ancient Carl Wark Fort, on Hathersage Moor.
The name Carl Wark is thought to derive from 'Carl's Work'. Carl being an old name for the Devil. This in itself could derive from the time when the area fell under the control of the Germanic Angles of Northumbria, following the battle of Win Hill in 626AD. The Northumbrians beat the Mercians by rolling boulders down the hillside.
When the fort was excavated in the 1950's, Stuart Piggott remarked that the construction of the wall and supporting earthen bank was reminiscent of Scottish Dark Age forts.
It is likely that Carl Wark is a multi-period site. Probably first used during the Neolithic period and through pre-history.
Again you can count the people and cars parked by the roadside - not many and a long way apart if you zoom in.
That's the road to Ringinglow and Sheffield climbing alongside.
Another telephoto shot from my exercise walk yesterday.
Been very busy and not had much time for getting out and about over the summer. However, managed to squeeze in a sunrise on Higger Tor this Sunday morning... although the sun didn't seem quite as keen to show up as I was!
The heavy clouds make for a nice, heavy late summer scene however and the diffused light more suitable to black and white.
