Over Owler Millstone
A big thank you to Rachel from Bristol, she is the 1st to buy from my new e-commerce site, and she picked one of my favourites, Over Owler Millstone In The Peaks, a very wintry shot freezing cold and in the distance you can see the snow falling as the sun shines through the clouds. Many Thanks

Fire and Ice - Turners sky
Winter is still with us and as this shot shows we get some dramatic skies at sunrise in The Peaks, even though it was burning through I was freezing cold and stood in a foot of snow, A big mug of Bovril sorted it out.
Thank god for Bovril…..
I’m not sponsoring Bovril before you say anything!, I just like Bovril, did I say it warms you right through especially with pepper in it, 2 shakes of course.
Have a great weekend all, and don’t forget the Bovril

Sunrise and Rocks……One from Higger Tor in The Peak district, beautiful misty sunrise and detailed foreground, was freezing cold too, shot with a full square .6ND and .9 soft ND grad filter. Had to keep wiping the freezing mist off, hell of cleanup job as the lens gives out a little heat and mists up straight away.

Curbar Sunrise Trees
Latest shot from Curbar Edge in The Peak District, as I came out of the car park to head up onto the edge itself I was presented with this image, I immediately downed my bag and set up shot, the result you see, we had a fantastic mist inversion that day and I have many more shots to sort through.

Before

Todays blog is about photo enhancements, briefly every pro making money uses it and its not cheating or camera trickery, its a tool in as much a way as the the camera itself, I use it to enhance colour, light Dodging & Burning, contrast and mainly to clean the shot removing “dust bunny spots” my biggest bugbear of all.
A quote by the father of landscape photography himself Ansel Adams “Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.” many of his prints were manipulated in the darkroom with these techniques, I like to think of it as lifting the image to a palatable taste, sometimes you need dreary but it rarely sells, customers want images that lift their sprit evoke a sense of euphoria, no body in truth wants to feel miserable staring at a dull uninspiring image on their living room wall do they?
Opinions count, so do let me know what your views are, this will be part of next weeks Peak District Online Blog
have a wonderful weekend all
