Winter Walking in Derbyshire

During the recent cold snap at the beginning of December, I enjoyed a day walking with my brother and a friend.  We walked along Derwent Edge above the Ladybower and Derwent Reservoirs.  It had snowed over night and we were blessed with wonderful conditions and stunning views.  I was also able to take some images for Project 35:using a polarising filter.

Water cascades over the Derwent Dam.  I was pleased to be able to include the crescent moon in the shot.

Looking towards Kinder Scout from Back Tor.  Thinking of Ansel Adams I have increased the contrast between the white clouds and the sky, darkening the blue sky.  I also used the shadows slider to give deep rich black shadows on the rocks.

The same view as above but with a walker in the shot to provide scale and perspective.
