Scouting the Peak District 2013

Before every tour we ensure we know the area thoroughly and map out our shooting location routes and times. Today I drove around the Peak District of Derbyshire and experienced really wonderful conditions for shooting.
Here’s to seeing new places in their best light!
 

Kenilworth Stairwell


On October 6, 2012 Ruth and I visited Kenilworth Castle in the Midlands of England. It’s a fantastic medieval castle ruin and one of the most renowned of English historical castles.
While exploring the ruins I found this moody, dramatic inside corner with a circular staircase leading up to the floors above. I was glad to have my tripod with me, as this scene was lit with very low light levels requiring a 1.3 second exposure, even at ƒ 6.3.
