Out and about at Hen Cloud in the Peak District National Park to photograph heather in full bloom.

Landscape photography in the Peak District. The forecast was looking good. A mixture of high, and low cloud promised a decent sunrise opportunity. Sadly though it wasn’t to be . . .

Photographing a stunning sunrise springtime cloud inversion at The Roaches in the Peak District and I almost missed it due to a bacon, and cheese sandwich. Now that would have been a travesty!

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.

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.

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.
