No better feeling than when that golden light breaks through the smallest crack in the clouds, gifting you those precious few seconds 🙌🏻

Highland coo’s in heather seems to be on everyone’s priority list of images to capture and for good reason! What a spectacle it is to see these large beautiful creatures in such scenery!

The first image is of an adult confidently striding through the scene, nothing fazing them, direction of travel confirmed; whilst the second is a very young highland coo hiding in between the rocks; a quick side-eye and they were gone!

I’ve taken a bit of creative licence with these and given them a soft, bright, grainy look. Taken at f2.8 on my 16-35mm during the mid day sun, the images were so sharp and the colours were so rich I felt this was the perfect way to dial that back a little and create a softer portrait style image. This isn’t my usual type of edit but I really like it for these images - let me know what you think in the comments below, do you think I made the right decision?

So here is the image from night before last. The dark moody skies and strong sun makes for a stark contrast which I absolutely adore! The sun hit for a matter of seconds, so much so I only got one image where the whole scene was lit! The dark cloud passed through the scene and was then gone, so I got super lucky with this image 🙌🏻

The second image is of a fallen tree which some may remember I took a hand held image of some time ago and said I wanted to focus stack it. Well here is said focus stacked image under reflected golden glow from the sky. There is significant depth to this image and took 10 images to successfully focus stack the image. I love all of the burls and burl-like growths, combined with knots and heavily distorted wood grain which flow like a wave from one side of the image to the other.

Peace and love folks, have yourself a lovely day 🫡

Good afternoon you internet gems - hope you’re all good on this random Tuesday?!?!

Finally, some new images from my trip back in May, this is the distinctive Hohenzollern Castle at sunset - which one is your favourite? Difficult to post this today after last nights local banger 🤭🤣 so I had to take control of myself and say NO!

Have a lovely day, peace and love folks ✌🏻

I can be terrible at sharing images from my bigger trips, I get overwhelmed by the volume I suppose; however I’ve been sat on a bunch of images for a while now which will see the light of day at some point 🤞🏻!!

I love to share images from close to home and it’s easy for me to get distracted by the local beauty on our doorstep and share those instead. I am a big advocate for our local countryside and try to show that through my images. So in the mean time, here’s a bunch of images that were all taken yesterday where I targeted specific light and shadows (except for the sheep!) so hopefully that comes through in the images, otherwise I’ve done a really bad job 🤣

I saved yesterday’s sunrise images till last, so make sure you get through to see them too, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed…

This was the same evening as the previous post, however a different composition and completely different light. There was a race to the horizon line between the sun and the dark cloud now out of shot; thankfully the sun won and put on this delegate little show for us which lasted no more than 2 minutes 🙌🏻. Thankfully I was able to see this was going to happen ahead of time and ran into the scene like a headless chicken jumping over rocks and clambered to the top for this little portrait 🤭

Peace and love, happy weekend to you all ✌🏻

I had a lot of sun whilst I was in the Peak District, however this rather moody image was taken on the first evening I arrived following some rain which took my fancy, as the cloud formation and rock layout work together in drawing your eye in centrally.

Peace and love folks, have a lovely day ✌🏻

A late evening post for you today as I’ve been super busy running all over the Peak District. The first image is a sunrise, and the rest are from the previous days sunset at the same location - hope you like them, peace and love ✌🏻
