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

Sometimes landscape photography can be frustrating, you can spend weeks without making a single image your happy with and then some days you get heaps of light where it’s almost impossible to make a bad image. While recently I’ve not had a huge dry spell, in the last couple of months it’s been a little … Read more

Saddleworth Moor isn’t blessed with popularity and doesn’t have stories of joy. Speak to most people and they’ll say bleak, featureless and the moors murders. However, I was sure there was more to the area than this and had seen a few good pictures of grand landscapes from the area so I had to make … Read more

Repost from April 2012 due to the old blog being removed, I have now learnt that the lights have been changed to white on the Wirksworth StarDisc so a revisit may also be on the cards.

Some of you may have noticed that I have been writing a monthly column for The Derbyshire Magazine. With their December Issue they’re circulating a free 2013 Calendar with it and asked me to provide them with some images to use and I am pleased to announce that my image Curbar Edge sunset was the … Read more

I am pleased to announced that my image “The Cloud” taken from The Roaches back in September is being used in the 2013 Calendar for Flickr which they send out to journalists and the press. It was chosen as it made explore and flagged up to them as one of the most interesting images of … Read more

As a photographer it can be quite tricky to shoot images that aren’t cliché and overdone, it’s usually even harder to shoot them better than anyone has done before.  Mam Tor at sunrise is probably one of the most shot locations within the Peak District and as such it’s really hard to get something different and exceptional … Read more

Saturday morning I headed out for sunrise in the Peak District. I had planned on going to Chrome and Parkhouse Hill which is probably my favorite place in the Peak District. I had never shot this at sunrise before and knew my usual parking spot in Hollingsclough would be a long and tricky walk in the dark. … Read more
