White Edge - Photography Week 10 (2017)

White Edge runs parallel with Curbar and Froggatt Edges in the Peak District before turning towards the White Edge Lodge on the Longshaw Estate. It is one of the lesser known edges and is characterised by small outcrops of gritstone and boulder strewn moorland slopes.

Walking along White Edge from Curbar Gap provides views across moorland towards Higger Tor:

In the other direction, there are views of Stoke Flats, Curbar and Forggatt Edges and the Derwent Valley:

At the start of the walk, I decided to alter the camera's picture style, and hence the camera's live view, to monochrome. This change provided an opportunity to compose and capture the scenes in black and white. Later, I added a creative tone to the produce the images shown above and also this composition of the trees below White Edge.

Switching back to colour I recorded these views looking towards Higger Tor, the Grouse Inn, and Hathersage.

Finally, two record shots of the terrain on White Edge. The first looks towards the Longshaw Estate and the second towards the highest point of the edge which also includes a trig point.
