Slowly finding the time to get back scaling landscapes with my camera in hope to get some decent shots! Last night I headed up to Stanage Edge as I got the feeling their was going to be some nice light and there was. Here are a few from what I maanged, im not ken on shooting into the sun but thought these came out ok.

The massively burnt out sun kind of ruins them for me.

Yes it is burnt out and definitely feels "in the way", and it was strong so unless I took it "out of the shot" there wasn't a lot i could do, and "out of shot" meant not much to photograph. All a learning curve
Thanks

Lovely composition, but yes, the sun isn't helping.
In addition, all three have halo issues, and there's a little too much shadow recovery in the second.
My old stomping grounds this area...if you live locally, it's got to be worth another run at it, or if not, a slightly more sympathetic attempt t PP.
