Early Morning at Stanage Edge
I took the 5:30am bus to the Lodge Moor one of the mornings last week, and from there walked to Stanage Edge in darkness. A walk of about 5km. Why did I do this you may ask yourself? :) Well, the best light tends to be at sunrise or sunset, and that day I wanted to have sunrise. Was hoping also for the fog and autumn colors in the forest down in Hathersage valley. But once there, no autumn colors or fog! A bit dissapointed, as I was there only a week earlier and the colors were still there. Anyhow, while waiting for the sun to rise, some mist was created around the edges. Got a bit happier.
This was still a bit of a challenge as I was using a graduated filter to get the exposure correct. Without it the sky would get over-exposed, but it kept foging up. Between each picture I needed to clean it. The battle continued for a while.
As it was a bit windy, I needed to hold down the tripod while taking the pictures too :)) You can hear, this was one of my more exciting photo sessions :)
The best, it did NOT rain.
Oj vilken strapats! Den tidiga bussen åker jag ibland när jag måste jobba så tidigt men hade nog aldrig kunnat motivera mej att göra det för soluppgångens skull :) vilka fina färger på himlen. Tur du fick lite dimma också :)
ReplyDeleteVarför, frågar du. Jo, en del fotografer är väl besatta av att ta Bilden. Vet hur den ska se ut, letar upp den och - Dang!. Sitter den där. Då känns livet lätt och man glömmer alla urspårade ansträngningar som gjorts för att nå dit. Vad jag pratar om ? Bild # 3 såklart. Mästerligt,

Tycker att du skall vara riktigt nöjd. Riktigt fina bilder, speciellt svag för de svart/vita med dimma i.
