Just a quick one from me. This is the Derwent Valley Mills in Cromford. I popped into the grounds a couple of months ago before heading on a walk down the Cromford Canal. I had this shot in mind for some time, I had been before but the conditions weren’t right. This time they were … Read more
The Peak District has many characters and moods and they change throughout the seasons. I’ve been trying to capture some of the Rural Peak District throughout the summer months, to showcase the greens of the landscape and the farm life. I admit, it was a tough challenge for myself, pushing me at times completely outside … Read more
Back in June I did a couple of days work in the Lake District for Ultimate Outdoors, under JD Sports. The same people who own Blacks Outdoors. The aim of the trip was to capture some Lake District locations, especially in panoramic format to use for their large in store displays and on web. The … Read more
Roystone Rocks is one of the most unique places I have visited in the Peak District and it was somewhere new I hadn’t visited until recently. The area is composed mainly of limestone, but a darker kind which may contain magnesium but what strikes you most are the random scattered pavements, often jutting out with … Read more
Sometimes it feels like I haven’t had any good light in the Peak District in recent months, however there are times when it is exceptional.

Arbor Low is a neolithic stone circle located near Monyash in the Peak District. A couple of months back I revisited this location for sunset. It was looking promising and I was just down the road in Buxton so made a quick dash for it. Not only did I want to capture the stone circle … Read more
Hello all, been a long time since an actual photography blog I know, just been so busy with a lot of other little things going off in the works and I’ve not had a chance to sit down and bash out a blog (and even edit some of my newer stuff!), so here’s my first … Read more
Solomons Temple is a Victorian hill marker on Grin Low just outside of Buxton and can be seen from miles around, especially when coming off the last stretch of the Cat and Fiddle. I decided to do a sunset shoot there the other week. I had been previously with low lying fog shrouding Buxton below … Read more
A bit late to be blogging about I know, but last Autumn when there was colour and sun and other goodness I went to Lumsdale waterfalls to try and capture some of this goodness. I’m now fortunate enough to live within a 10 minute walk from this fantastic place, a place that has been a … Read more
