I’ll start by apologising that I wasn’t able to post last week. I simply had too much work to find the time. This week, after a week of rain here, I thought that I would share a winter image from the Peak District that I’ve just processed. Well, two images to be accurate, because I … Continue reading Peak District Winter Landscape

Another Misty Landscape from Bole Hill Quarry
Last week, I shared an image that I had taken at Bole Hill Quarry in the Peak District. This week it’s the turn of another from the same shoot. It’s difficult to describe quite how wet and unpleasant it was when I took this shot, although worse rain was still to come. The only thing … Continue reading Another Misty Landscape from Bole Hill Quarry
Wet & Misty in the Peak District
On Wednesday, I arrived home from a trip to the Lake District where the colours were turning autumnal. Feeling motivated to get out for some photography, I checked the weather forecast. I could see that a mist was predicted in some parts of the Peak District the following day. It looked like there would be … Continue reading Wet & Misty in the Peak District
The Best Sunset
In September 2020, I was fortunate to witness the best sunset I’ve ever seen. Whilst I have seen lots of dramatic and beautiful sunsets, this one sticks in my memory as the best. The colours were so vivid and lasted so long. I remember the sky colouring up at least an hour before sunset and … Continue reading The Best Sunset
Forward to Autumn and More Forest Photography
Here in the North West of England, the weather has turned decidedly chilly in the past couple of weeks. Whilst it doesn’t often feel warm where I live, the house feels more like a fridge at the moment. It may have something to do with the 24” thick solid stone walls. With the feel of … Continue reading Forward to Autumn and More Forest Photography
Striving for Natural Colour in Landscape Photos

I’ve reworked this several times … Continue reading Striving for Natural Colour in Landscape Photos
The Excellent Panasonic G9 High Resolution Mode
Last week I mentioned that I’ve been doing more work using the high resolution mode of my Panasonic G9. In this week’s post I want to share some of my thoughts about using this for landscape photography. Here’s a recent example from last week, shooting with the G9 in the 80Mpixel mode. After sunset at … Continue reading The Excellent Panasonic G9 High Resolution Mode
The Best Light for Landscape Photography
In Friday’s post last week, I shared a photo I had taken the week before, even though I had been photographing the day before. Now that I’ve had a little more time to process those images, I want to share one today. Higger Tor from Carl Wark in the Peak Disitrct Capturing the Image I’m … Continue reading The Best Light for Landscape Photography
Exposure Blending on Derwent Edge
Last week, I ventured out in the evening to Derwent Edge in the Peak District. I also shared one of the photos that I shot on this blog. In this week’s blog post I want to share another but from earlier in the evening. I shot this using my Fuji XT3 with Fuji 16-80 lens … Continue reading Exposure Blending on Derwent Edge
Looking Forward to September
Here we are in mid-July, and I find myself eagerly looking forward to September already. Since the end of March this year, I’ve been over-committed and stretched in many directions. Unfortunately, I can see the situation continuing until September which is why I’m looking forward to it. Many of the things taking up my time … Continue reading Looking Forward to September
