Sunrise Inversion

On Monday morning I visited the Chevin above Otley based on a good forecast for a sunrise and cloud inversion, I was not disappointed! Rather than the Warfe Valley being full of cloud it was patchy with fields and trees poking through the dendrites of cloud. Almscliffe Crag poked through the cloud in the middle distance and the sky took on the distinctive colours of a sunrise approaching winter.

Scalber Force

With an overcast and rainy week big sweeping landscape vista was out so I visited Scalber Force near Settle. Although very close to the road its a bit of a treacherous approach into a steep gully.

I had intended to take some shots with my big stopper but arrived quite late and due to the setting was able to get 15 second exposures without the need for a filter at all as it was really getting a bit dark.

With a bit of a tweak in Lightroom they have come out better than I expected, slightly too much green but that is mainly given the time if year, I think this will be a good autumn venue.
