Hi all,
I have been meaning to get up to Mam Tor for a while to photograph in infamous 'Gate'. It is not too far away (about an hour), so ventured up just before Christmas, but didn't even get out of the car as it was blowing a gale with horizontal snow! Since then the weather has been awful....until yesterday/today. So yesterday, I went up there to 'recce' the area and see where everything is, then set out at 06.00 this morning for a 'proper photo' run. Anyway...it was f-f-f-f-freeeeezing up there, and a few other 'togs had made it up, so here is the result. Pretty pleased on the whole...shame there were no clouds in the sky (although it does have a 'clean' look !), but managed to capture the Gate, the view and a decent sunrise. Critique welcome.....(my own dilemma is the 'amount' of sky showing i.e. should it be cropped a bit more? Come back to not having any clouds, I guess).
Thanks for looking
(Not sure why the EXIF data doesn't show on FlickR, but it was taken on a Nikon D7100, Tokina 11-16 2.8 lens at 11mm, F11, 1/50th, ISO 100....with bracketed exposures and blended in Photoshop.
