I nearly didn't get this shot. I'd spent a while photographing the popular composition at High Neb. Then the rain and clag descended. The forecast changed. It looked like that was that. I'd not had much to eat and almost headed home.
But I packed the camera away and decided to have a quick walk around to the northern edge first.
But a small gap opened up in the clouds. I just managed to unpack my camera and get it on the tripod as the light broke.
It's a hasty composition. My main issue is I chopped Win Hill on on the left horizon. A slight crop might be OK to include only Lose Hill.
But there's a lot I like. The cloud over Crook Hill and Derwent Edge, the tumbled rocks filling the middle ground and the lead-in past the two rocks to Crow Chin in the spotlight. Oh, and of course, the dark sky.
You can just see a photographer rushing up the path. That's usually me and missing the light by minutes.

Some fabulous light yesterday afternoon. Strong winds made for some great, transient light.
The better photogenic conditions were earlier on as the clouds dispersed towards sunset.
I walked from Hooks Carr, past High Neb to Stanage End and back along the road.
It's been a long road to see this bird, very pleased that at last we did. All our thoughts of painting a blackbird just evaporated ;)
Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!

A variation on an image posted yesterday; this one using a longer focal length to make the sunlit edge the dominant element in the image
The recent dull weather hasn’t been conducive for photography so it’s back to Stanage Edge for today’s image with one from a couple of weeks ago. I had gone up for the late afternoon light and with calm conditions decided to visit my favourite puddle to capture the light reflected over the waters surface as the sun set.(Olympus EM-1 mkii 7-14mm f/2.8 pro 1/80 sec f/5.6 @ 7mm Kase Wolverine 4 Stop reverse grad)
