Ladybower Reservoir

Taken from Ashopton Viaduct on the A57 Snake Pass Road, nice views back towards Fairholmes Visitor Centre from which we set off on a circular 5.5 mile walk.
This is just about halfway now and still a nice day, with views in all directions. Nice!

Long Distance views of The Dove Stones, and The Salt Cellar, with closer views of the Ashopton Viaduct.

Parked at Fairholmes Visitor Centre, a short distance to this version surely of 'The Great Wall of China'

Very impressive to look at, stood the test of time since it's completion in 1916

One of the two Plug Holes on Ladybower Reservoir, The Peak District, Derbyshire.

Ladybower Plughole (West)

Perhaps not so much a "Travel Photo", but before checking out these plugholes at the Ladybower Reservoir in England's Peak District, I could only find images of the wider scene.

I've recently become far more interested in intimate scenes, picking out unique parts of an image to throw a whole new perspective. I'd gone prepared with my wide-angle lens, but ended up taking this at 50mm (75mm on my crop sensor!), using the Firecrest 6 Stop ND and circular polariser to cut through the harsh glare and really saturate the blue tones.

There's no editing in this photo! Something I really strive for in my images :)
