Mam Tor in the Peak District, UK.
I was taking photos back into the light, which generally doesn’t come out very well, so always a good opportunity to try something different with the picture. This was all done in Lightroom. The blacks are converted to pure black.
One of my favourite spots.
Stone structure at the National Stone Centre, at Wirksworth, in Derbyshire
Boat out on Carsington
And not long after I took this…. I was legging back to the car before getting a soaking.

Near Hathersage in Derbyshire. Dodging the showers.
This was taken on top of Mam Tor in Derbyshire – I think I was on my back to take this as the para-gliders were almost flying directly over us.
We recently spent a week in and around The Peak District. On a particularly hot day we headed up to Mam Tor near Edale. I like Mam Tor. You don’t have to walk very far from the car park to get to the top! With a slight breeze and thermal uplifts it was the perfect place to watch para-gliders, and a hang-glider too. I tried my best with my sport-action-situation shots. There are more on my Flickr page. I also broke the cardinal rule of photography. Have a camera with you at all time! (I ended up having to borrow my partner’s D5000)
