Curbar Edge Part 2 (January 2020)
This second post from Curbar Edge focuses on the gritstone rocks above the edge. The results provide another example of the ‘surfaces and textures’ photography I have been doing at the start of this year.
Gritstone is not the most colourful rock to photograph although it does tend to reflect the warmth of the sunlight. Most of the interest comes from the textured surface particularly where the sediments are compressed into ‘pancake’ layers.
This image provides some context for the above studies:
On a sunny day another source of interest is the shapes created by the light and shade either from the naturally eroded rocks that form the edge or from the abandoned millstone quarrying that was once a major industry in this part of the Peak District:

Rock Abstracts - Photography Week 15 (2017)
Even on a short visit to Falmouth I found time to search the coastline for more rock abstracts. It is one of those subjects where the process of photography is often more important than the results.
The digital age has done much for photography including making it more accessible. However, I sometimes feel that photography has become too results orientated driven by an ever increasing number of competitions, social media likes, favourites, followers, votes etc. As a consequence, some of the simple pleasures of photography get overlooked. In the case of rock patterns in Falmouth this includes: being at the coast; going for a walk; looking and seeing colours, patterns and textures; and capturing them with a camera:
