Water On The Edge

This is my second set of images from a shoot I did last weekend at Stanage Edge, which is at the Sheffield side of the Derbyshire Peak District. It is a very accessible location and one that's well worth a visit if you are in the locality. This set is all about the surprisingly large amount of water that rests in puddles and small pools on top of the ridge. All of these images are shot with the K-3 and Samsung D-Xenon 12-24 lens, with a Hoya Pro1 Polariser. All were on a tripod.

1. Sky On The Ground





2. Two People and Two Puddles





3. Towards Hallam Moor





4. Golden Evening





5. Rocky Foreground





6. Water On The Edge





7. Water On The Path





8. Feet In The Water




As always, CC encouraged.

Nice set David, number 4 is the stand out one for me.

Cheers Drew, thank you very much

I'm with Andrew on number 4. I don't know how busy it is up there, in terms of people, but I don't think the figures necessarily enhance the images.

Wonderful.

Cheers.

Looking at these on a tablet David. Water doesn't look natural. Far too dark compared to the sky. Probably just the tablet

I haven't darkened it Alan, this is how they were, but it may also be the effect of the Polarising Filter that has made it look darker. Without the filter the shots wouldn't have been possible, or they would have required too much processing adjustment, so I'm afraid this is just one of the many compromises we have to make as photographers!

Hi Barrie, it was very busy that day and impossible to keep people out of the photos, so I decided to try and make them a feature where they were in the frame. In the middle of Winter it would be a different matter, you would probably get some shots then with no-one about.

I love no.4 too. Excellent stuff. K.
