Thank you everyone!

Thank you everyone

Quote:Hello James Grant! Thank you for the photo of the standing stones. Fantastic is all I can say! I, myself, have never seen some in person and regretfully, probably never will, so, photographs like this one mean a lot to me. As the photograph goes, you nailed it1 Composition and execution are perfect to my eye. Simply, beautiful. JCA
Thank you! I hope one day you will see some, there are plenty in the UK if you ever come over!

Quote:WOW what an image, and what a lovely place, if I wanted to go, where is the best place to park?
Thanks Ray - Earl Sterndale. Easy to get to. Take the footpath at the side of the quiet woman pub and just follow it.

Quote:Just had a look at this on GE. Do you have to park at Wetton and walk if so where?
Just park in the village at the top of Leek Road. You can find more info in my eBook over at www.jamesgphotography.co.uk

Quote:Superb James, I would enter this into Landscape POTY next year. Stunning !!
Ron
I entered it this year and got no where!

Thank you to everyone for the comments!

As a lot of you have said, I really couldn't believe my luck and eyes when I saw it all!

What a beautiful shot and light!

Love the view. I like the houses sweeping at the bottom.

Stunning Paul. Must have been great to be up there and see.

Thanks!

Great shot Alun - very dramatic!

Thank you all very much

Thanks Both!


Quote:So, on my home turf eh! Excellent comp and a shame you didn't get the best light. Good reason for a revisit though. If you're in the area sometime let me know if you fancy a shoot and a pint up the road :0)


Will do Alun! My better halves auntie lives around the corner too, so thats why we were there. I'm sure we will be back!

Thank you all so much - was an excellent experience


Quote:A fabulous landscape James with beautiful warmth, shapes and textures...love the buildings (Monastery?) nestled on the rocks! John


Yes they're monastery's perched on top of the rocks

Thank you all - its so appreciated especially when a long time vision finally gets realised and then people appreciate it after

Hi Alun, can you elaborate a little more? The image is almost untouched but could be the use of reverse grad?

Thank you all

Good use of that foreground grass clump. The shot looks like it could be anywhere. Well done.

Thank you all!!

That was me Alun! What a small world! The last time I was at Elgol I met someone else there from the Peaks who I'd known on Flickr for ages but didn't find out it was him until after the event. Perhaps I should just accept if you go to Elgol you're going to meet someone there who's on a social sharing site!

Yeah I use a Nex at least 50% of the time now, I really like it and it serves me well and the UWA on it is better than the Tokina 11-16mm on my normal camera IMO.

Nice to meet you!

Great image Alun

Hi Alun. Nice image - I do believe I was here on the same night (I think!) Were you the guys who had travelled up from Cardiff that day (or did you a couple of days before)

Classic shot - well executed!

Can't beat a bit of plughole action!

A very surreal feel to this image.

Bet it was lovely to be up there!

What lovely red light.

Classic shot well executed with excellent light

Cracking light - must have been well worth the early rise
