Looking through the rocks

by davidstorm

Shot at Carl Wark, an Iron-age fort and rock formation in the Peak District, near to the National Trust Longshaw Estate. This is actually in South Yorkshire, not Derbyshire, as the Peaks National Park encroaches into both Counties.

Something really nice about this; the lighting is not spectacular but just goes with this scene IMO (if that makes sense!)

I agree. The low clouds and mist in the background really offset the harshness of the foreground rocks.

Thanks guys, the lighting was quite tricky for this shot and this was the best I could do! It looked so much better seeing it through the human eye, I wish camera sensors were as good as our Retinas are!

I know what you mean; the eye has an incredible ability to juggle between different light levels within a scene and to see 'the wonder' - and of course if one records RAW in camera, there is a rather 'flatter' looking image as well.
