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.
Back to Baldstone
Tonight there was another half chance of a sunset, so I headed up to the back of The Roaches in the Staffordshire Peak District for. spot of landscape photography thinking I may get some nice light on the Baldstone ridgeline.
Some Things Never Change
I decided to go Roach End in the Staffordshire Peak District figuring it should be quieter than over by Hen Cloud. It felt like it’d been weeks since there was a decent sunset, and a half chance of getting one tonight was enough to get me out of the house, even with a fresh breeze forecast.
Robin Hood’s Stride
A first time visit to Robin Hood’s Stride in the Derbyshire Peak District for a spot of landscape photography.
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.
