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.
Baldstone Ridgeline
I’ve photographed Baldstone in Staffordshire a few times, but always from a distance, and always from Gib Torr. Today I was going to rectify that. The only spanner that could possibly be in the works was if the wind was too fresh.
Grindon Moor
Like a lot of landscape photographers I’m a sucker for a lone tree. Photographing this one required a little bit of detective work as I hadn’t got a clue where it was other than it was “in the Peak District”.
The Roaches in the Mist
Landscape photography at The Roaches in the Staffordshire Peak District when it’s shrouded in a heavy mist, and fog.
Winter Snow at The Roaches
Sunrise landscape photography at The Roaches in the Staffordshire Peak District after a scattering of snow.
Winter Cloud Inversion at The Roaches
Photographing a winter sunrise cloud inversion.
“Epic”. That’s the best word I can use to describe this morning. It was one of those days where you’re reminded of why you get out of bed at “stupid o’clock”, or in this case when it’s freezing cold.
Wedgwood Pool
Out for some early morning exercise at Wedgwood Pool, Barlaston, Staffordshire as I photograph the pool during a deep freeze.
