One more from last weekend, still on the theme of alternate views of Higger Tor, keeping away from the obvious spots.
1/6 Sec f20 ISO100
Went to explore these crags above Burbage valley and got some gorgeous light as the sun was starting to set. Note to self... come back when the heather's out!
A tumbledown barn on a hillside above Hathersage in the Hope Valley. The top of the hill was lost in the mist
Not sure if I should admit to this, let alone apologise for it, but this is a composite of 2 shots 10mins apart. A bank of cloud on the horizon meant that the setting sun first lit the clouds, and then shortly after, lit the heather, but not the two at once. I'm not a huge fan of creating a scence from separate elements, but as it was the same composition on the same shoot, I'm going to call this Time Blending, in the same way that you might Focus Stack or Blend exposures. If you've read this far, what's your opinon of the approach? Dishonest? Not an issue? It's all art so who cares?
Today's mission was to explore the western and northern edges of Kinder Scout for the first time, Fairbrook Naze being a spot in particular I've really wanted to visit for a long time.
To add to the firsts, this was the first time I've used Jacob's Ladder as an ascent route, but rather than take the usual shorter but steeper route up, I opted to take the longer route which is usually used by those on horseback (or so the sign at the top says) to check out the ruins of an old building. As I was looking for ways to frame the old ruins, I turned to my left and noticed the not so subtle "X" shape formed by the landscape, inspired by a Thomas Heaton video I'd been watching on the train in, I wanted to shoot this square.
The weather was neither here nor there and the light was very nondescript, but there is a lot going on in terms of shapes, textures and lines so maybe that's no bad thing in this case. I do think the sunrise light would be lovely in this scene however.
A trip out along the Great Ridge from Mam Tor to Back Tor, to try to shoot the lonely tree against a fiery sunset. Didn't quite get the colours, but the clouds put on quite a display. I ended up spending about 3 hours at this spot, getting many variations on this view point.
Ladybower reservoir is one of my favourite places to visit in the peaks as it has so many walks & beautiful spots surrounding it as well as the reservoir itself, which finally has enough water in it again 🌊 So shots of this giant plug hole will be aplenty 😅 Where’s your favourite place to visit in the peaks? .

Winnats Pass is a hill pass and limestone gorge in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England. The name is a corruption of 'wind gates' due to the swirling winds through the pass. It lies west of the village of Castleton, in the National Trust's High Peak Estate and the High Peak borough of Derbyshire.
