Hasn’t the weather been nice recently for the most part? It may have been a little hazy for sure but it’s been better than the countless days of grey recently. Last Saturday saw me looking to go out, wanting to make the most of it. While I’m not a blue skies photographer sometimes you take what … Read more

Just a short one really but thought i’d quickly upload my latest venture. Tuesday night saw me heading out to Monsal Tunnels with a friend who had suggested we give the new craze of wire wool burning a go. I was a little unsure at first admittedly, but as I hadn’t been out at the weekend … Read more
The Wool packs are a clump of interesting gritstone formations high up on Kinder Scout, just west of Crowden Head. These gritstone formations have been formed over thousdands of years by being weathered by the rain and the water that flows through the groughs. The formations aren’t unique just to Kinder Scout but can be … Read more
I’ve got to admit – I’m sat here feeling a little sorry for myself. Checking the forecasts for this weekend suggested that yesterday afternoon was the best chance for sunset and today’s sun rise would be none existant. How wrong they got that!

Repost from July 2012: Winnats Pass is a limestone gorge near Castleton. It is the only road out of Castleton to the west. The A625 (now the A6187) under Mam Tor used to be a route out, but it was closed in 1979 due to continuing land slides (well worth a visit if you’re in … Read more
Another repost, this time from July: So another week of rain it would seem. It just doesn’t seem to end. I know it’s driving people up the wall and in terms of photography the social networks have certainly been quiet these last couple of months. However, I seem to be doing alright. I keep edging … Read more

While recently I’ve not had a huge dry spell, in the last couple of months it’s been a little … Read more
