Picture of the Week: Winter Sun Over the Peak District

The beauty of shooting landscapes in the winter is the fact that the sun never gets very high from the horizon, allowing you to shoot longer than you could in the summer months.

When we visited the Peak District last week we were given a fantastic light show by Mother Nature (see this BLOG POST) as the wind pushed the clouds across the landscape at an incredible rate of speed.  

When we arrived at Curbar Edge the scene was very different, with bright sunshine over the Peak District.  I took this shot from the top looking towards the West using a Nikon D800, Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 AF-S lens at 17mm, fitted with a Lee 0.6 and a 0.9 soft ND grad filters, to balance the exposure between the sky and the land, and all sitting on my trusty Slik tripod.


Within 20 minutes of this shot being taken, the next weather front had closed in producing the dramatic pictures seen in the previous blog post.
