Millstone Forrest
Friday at last and this one is from a little while ago, sunshine casting rays across the remaining millstones at Over Owler, Peak District, again this is using a Lee Filter I got from the USA, takes a lot of fiddling around to get the composition right but I think its well worth it and adds to the shot.
This one if for Dave a mate whose not 100% at the mo so I hope brings a smile to his face…keep plodding on mate
have a great weekend

New Life
Hi
todays shot is about the passing of winter as new life returns to The Peaks, down in Edale the new chutes of fern and bracken are beginning to show and blanket the hillside with beautiful colour and shapes. The shot shows how diverse nature is as it lavishly cloaks the hillside returning it to its summer coat, I’ll redo this shot in a month or so and detail just how much this area changes throughout the seasons.
Didn’t manage an outing yesterday so its on the cards for Thursday and hopefully Saturday long walk with Jo and Stormy.
The second shot shows the view from Carl Wark looking back up at Higger Tor, not the usual shot so I hope you like it, taken a while back now you can see just how baron this landscape can be in winter yet it still remains to be an interesting and peaceful place to just be there soaking in it ancient history.
I’ll be doing a special on Polarising and Grad Filters next week so please check it out.

Roseberry Topping
Roseberry Topping is a distinctive hill on the border between North Yorkshire and the borough of Redcar and Cleveland, England. It is situated near Great Ayton and Newton under Roseberry. Its summit has a distinctive half-cone shape with a jagged cliff, which has led to many comparisons with the much higher Matterhorn in Switzerland. It forms a symbolic image of the area and featured as the logo for the now defunct Cleveland County.
must climb up there one day soon

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.

Well we set off on a long Dearne walk on Saturday, as usual Stormy got covered in mud and god knows what else, the area was
completely flooded and as we tried to cross over our usual sunken wooden bridge Storm fell off and got her back legs stuck in the nud
panic ensued and Jo came to her rescue she went her knees in the icy water, while I held her and Stormy’s front end, luckily she came out with a loud pop and splash of water.
needless to say we were both soaked and poor Jo had to ring out her socks at the river bank. We all slept well Saturday night especially Stormy.
Back pout later today for more shots.
Have a bio and 8 shots to submit for a special on me for a Peak District magazine and to start my blog work for a prestigious website so I should get 1 million hits a month to my shots, cant do me any harm can it?
