Behind the Lens
Welcome to my landscape, nature, and wildlife photography blog.
Here you'll find all of the latest images, and commentary by Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire landscape photographer Rob Thorley Photography. Read on to find out about where I've been, and what landscape, nature, and wildlife subjects I've been photographing.
The Roaches Trig Point
Going “up top” at The Roaches in the peak District to photograph sunset at the trig point.
A Different Perspective
Having the Staffordshire Peak District on my door step is fantastic. This particular evening there was no other plan than to go and stand somewhere that I hadn't stood before, and take an image.
A Lone Tree at Sunset
My sunset landscape photography plans go awry in the Peak District National Park.
Essex Bridge
I saw an image of this location on one of the Facebook groups I belong to. What was a surprise was that it's pretty local, and I didn't know it existed.
Baslow Poppy Field
The poppy field at Baslow in the Derbyshire Peak District turned into quite a controversial location. A photographer on one of the Facebook groups I follow shared some photographs of this spot. It's probably then safe to say after that all hell broke loose.
Doxey Pool Sunset
I'd gone up on top of The Roaches in the Staffordshire Peak District hoping to capture a sunset shot. I hadn't really got a composition in mind, and it was more a case of being up top, so I could go with whichever way the sky looked best.
