I've had Colombia on my mind lately and I'm still blown away by its amazing landscape. This particular area, doesn't see many visitors yet alone any photographers. Mavicure is about as remote as it gets. Long boat rides and dense jungle hikes will get you unique and amazing views like this! So many cool places out there!
My last shot of 2022 was a special one for the experience around taking it. I headed up towards Lawrence Field along a route out of Padley that I've never explored before, as I came out into the open I spotted two Red Deer stags relaxing out on the moor.
I've never seen a Red Deer before so this was a really special sight, at first I felt a few nerves but as I stood silently watching them, it became clear that although aware of it, my presence wasn't causing any distress.
At first I wasn't intent on photographing the deer, but I found a really nice grouping of Silver Birch and was able to frame them. This is my favourite photograph of the day, because it really tells the story of the moment.
This is my final post of the year too, so I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has followed me this year and has engaged with my work, your feedback and kind words have provided me with boat loads of motivation.
I've found many sources of inspiration from fellow photogs too this year, and this has nurtured and informed my creativity.
I hope everyone has a fantastic new year!

Capturing the Dent d'Orlu emerging from the clouds required patience and timing. The monochrome treatment emphasizes the dramatic interplay between solid rock and swirling clouds, creating a timeless mountain portrait.

Morning light unfolding over the heath, between blossoms, webs and juniper. A day that begins in silence, yet tells stories of detail and depth, until the path itself becomes the last word.

Standing in the cool spray of Torc Falls, I wanted to slow time—letting the water’s movement feel eternal against the stillness of moss and stone. The frame is meant to transport the viewer into that quiet clearing, where every sound is rushing water and rustling leaves.

A lone hilltop church emerges through the morning fog near Jamnik, Slovenia. A fleeting moment where silence and light meet in perfect balance.
The mist rolled through the valley like a tide, revealing the landscape for only seconds at a time.

Burbage Spring Hike Pt.2:
I spent a little while in Padley Gorge taking the route up along the brook seeing if there were any compositions I'd missed from previous trips (inevitable) and to see how the change in water flow changed ones I'd already visited. I spent a little time at two locations but ultimately didn't find anything that spoke to me once I got to looking at them in Lightroom. The next portion of my hike took me along Burbage Edge/Rocks, a new route for me and one I thoroughly enjoyed, with incredible views of Carl Wark and Higger Tor that I had not yet seen. Again I found a couple of comps, but nothing that really stuck in the conditions I had.
What did catch my eye however, were that bands of rain were working their way along Hope Valley and I knew that if I got myself onto Stanage Edge I'd be able to capture the rain rolling in and if I was lucky; some of the intense dappled light in between showers and maybe, just maybe some crepuscular rays. I spent a good amount of time carefully working my way along the gritstone edge looking for interesting shaped rocks, indentations, fracture lines and other geological features, which are abundant at Stanage. The abundance of interesting features is a curse and a blessing to anyone using a wide-angle lens in particular, but the reality is that only certain ones have the direction of movement (or at least the suggestion of movement) into the frame that I look for when shooting scenes like this.
The subject taken care of, next was the conditions. The weather was that of great contrast in short periods of time, both of these photographs were less than half an hour apart from one another. Friends and family often say to me "I hope the weather is nice for you!" when I go out to the peaks but in reality the dramatic and sometimes downright nasty weather is some of my favourite to photograph and to hike in. To this end, I rejoiced as I saw a thick sheet of rain headed my way and even happier that I was able to get all of my various focal points throughout the scene shot before the rain reached me, another suggested element of movement I wanted in the frame. After the rain, the sun broke through and transformed what I saw before me, although if you were to ask me which was my favourite; you probably already know the answer! Had this been in winter or towards sunset the sun would have crept under the perfect gap on the horizon creating both light and drama in one photograph, something I'm looking forward to capturing later in the year.
This photo shows a group of Alpine ibexes (called bouquetins in French) standing on rugged rocks near Baisse du Basto, in the Mercantour National Park. These wild mountain goats are perfectly adapted to steep terrain, with strong legs and curved horns that help them move easily across the rocky landscape. The scene captures the raw beauty of alpine wildlife in its natural habitat, surrounded by jagged stones and earthy tones.
Today morning I was out with my friend to a distant fair. En route I liked the foggy environment around the road and here is what I clicked and worked on it a little. Hope you all like it.

I arrived just a tad too late to capture the full drama of the low cloud and upslope fog drifting down Upper Derwent Valley and over the Ashopton viaduct, but I felt it was worth getting a photograph of this scene as a souvenir shot for myself.
