CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

The shortest month of the year saw us visiting Paris, Northumberland, East Lothian and the Peak District. The weather was decidedly wintry with more snow covering the ground in Lincolnshire and Derbyshire providing some dramatic landscapes.   We also added a Nikon D800 to the MacLean Photographic line up and the 36 megapixel camera provides us with a great working tool for landscapes.  We also unveiled the new MacLean Photographic logo, a much simpler and cleaner image for the company.  The shot I've chosen for this month's review is the scene from Curbar Edge in the Peak District.  Using the D800, Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 lens and a Lee ND Grad filter I captured this image as the light rapidly changed across the landscape.  The wind was really blowing and the clouds were moving quickly but the result was one of the most amazing natural light shows I have every seen and this image captures what I witnessed perfectly.

This shot was taken at Curbar Edge in the Peak District this week.  This is one of the millstones that were cut   at the site and then were left below the cliff for some reason.

A trip to the Peak District in Derbyshire today didn't start off so well with grey clouds and driving rain.  Sometimes you have to wait to see if the weather conditions will change and our patience was rewarded with a fantastic light show as the sun broke through the clouds to light up the landscape. Standing on top of Curbar Edge, we set about capturing the ever changing sun bursts and here is a small selection of images from today's shoot.  There are still more to come as I still have several more images to look through.
