The Wool packs are a clump of interesting gritstone formations high up on Kinder Scout, just west of Crowden Head. These gritstone formations have been formed over thousdands of years by being weathered by the rain and the water that flows through the groughs. The formations aren’t unique just to Kinder Scout but can be … Read more

I’ve got to admit – I’m sat here feeling a little sorry for myself. Checking the forecasts for this weekend suggested that yesterday afternoon was the best chance for sunset and today’s sun rise would be none existant. How wrong they got that! I don’t usually ever wake up at home when the sun is … Read more

So you may have noticed that the last few weeks has been slightly grey, damp, miserable and generally enough to make any photographer go stir crazy. It may seem like I haven’t been going out taking images but unfortunately I had…just you don’t get to see the images I take where nothing happens. In the … Read more

Well the weather here today is boring, thick overcast clouds and no wind to blow them on. With not a hint of light around I’m sat here bored wanting to go out with the camera but alas I decided I’d make use of my time and finally catch up with website updates I’ve either not … Read more

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

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

Repost of Lake District Photography from April 2012 – Old version removed Just a few images I took while staying an extra couple of days in the Lake District after wild camping. Perfect weather and great conditions in a sense. There were unbroken reflections all around, which I love but a persistent haze was hard to work … 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

I went down to the Malverns the first time at the end of November. Not lying in a national park and no hills of significant height they really weren’t on my radar. I had passed them a few times on the M5 when down in that area and thought they looked interesting and seen a … 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
