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.
Fresh at The Roaches
Still on my Christmas holidays I headed off to The Roaches for some landscape photography on a cold, crisp morning in the hope of capturing a decent sunrise.
Hen Cloud & Heather
Out and about at Hen Cloud in the Peak District National Park to photograph heather in full bloom.
Sunrise Bust at The Roaches
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 . . .
Springtime Cloud Inversion
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!
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.
