Gritstone - Photography Week 38 (2016)

It was far too blustery to set up properly on Curbar Edge, although it was pleasant enough when the sun was out. These days I tend to draw the line for traditional wide angle landscape photography when the tripod has to be anchored with the kit bag (unless, of course, the scene is exceptional). My preference in these conditions is to hand-hold the camera and search for alternative subject matter.

On this occasion the alternative was gritstone compositions including the pancake layered sediments and the more angular remnants of quarried rock:


















As the weather changed there was a opportunity to capture light moving across Eyam Moor and the summit of Sir William Hill:




In the other direction showers passed over Stoke Flat and Big Moor:
