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.
Rhos Quarry
I'm not sure if I'm getting a quarry fetish, but ever since "discovering" Cwmorthin I've started to seek them out more, and more. So far I've found them to be great places to visit, with lots of interesting nooks and crannies to explore, and a good variety of compositions to be photographed.
Milky Way Magic
Not for the first time I found myself marooned on the tidal island of Ynys Llanddwyn on Ynys Mon. The reasoning behind such madness . . . my first attempt at astrophotography. It's fair to say that I had high hopes, and low expectations.
Bamford Edge
A first time visit to Bamford Edge in the Derbyshire Peak District, for a spot of sunset landscape photography and I have to say it was very enjoyable.
Scouting for Sunrise
Landscape photography location scouting in the Peak District National Park. Plan A was Bamford Edge, but unfortunately it was one of those days where I just ran out of time, so still fancying some fresh air it was onto Plan B, Ramshaw Rocks in the Staffordshire Peak District.
Knypersley Reservoir
A drab, and rainy Sunday inspired a quick trip out to Knypersley Reservoir in Staffordshire to photograph the waterfall.
The Roaches Trig Point
Going “up top” at The Roaches in the peak District to photograph sunset at the trig point.
