A picture - one of the few - from our recent family trip to Tideswell in the heart of the Peak District.
No huge photoday outings were possible with a little baby, so I had to try and be creative with what was not the most stunning immediate area around the very nice village of Tideswell.
Up on a hill just above our cottage were some trees and the distinctive dry stone walls. I tried to isolate these and decided that a black and white treatment would work best. I framed it 1/3 land, 2/3 sky, as there was nothing else of interest in the land, and the large sky created a sense of space, and was just a bit more interesting than more grass. Central placement of the quite symmetrical clump of trees enhanced the simple feel. It was blowing a gale up there, but this feels somewhat peaceful to me. Quite harsh lighting, but I think I controlled the exposure OK, and the early slanting sunlight picks out the textures well enough. Not competition quality shot, but pleasing to me and one of the better ones I took.
