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.
Autumn & Orton II
Once again I found myself at Birches Valley, Cannock Chase for a spot of autumn woodland photography. This time I wandered a bit further afield through the pines to pick out some of the contrasting colours that were still on display.
Autumn & Orton
Although quite local, Cannock Chase isn’t a location that I’m too familiar with, something I definitely plan to address. I opted to park up at Birches Valley, which is probably one of the busier areas, but the one I was most familiar with to go in search of some autumn woodland colours.
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.
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.
