Derbyshire milling heritage



 Abandoned millstones at Stanage Edge

Strong sun limited the options as many views threw shadows that were too dark.  These stones are one of the "icons" of the Derbyshire "edges", beloved by landscape photographers.  Without some dramatic weather, it is difficult to take a picture that has not been seen before many times!

Still experimenting with low light and high ISOs.  I particularly like silhouettes against a darkening sky.

Trying to create a line drawing effect for the flour bins using Photoshop.

Colour tinting in Photoshop - pink anyone?!



Magpie Mine ... revisited

And rewarded with a lovely sunset.  Camera on tripod, with self timer and ISO kept low to avoid "noise" in the darkening sky.  The buildings are intentionally silhouetted, to keep all the focus on the sky.
