Mist in Padley Gorge

Oaks, Padley Gorge, Peak District National Park, UK

When I checked the weather for that morning it showed sunny day for Ranmoor, where we live, and fog for the neighbouring villages. Aha, I thought, we must be above clouds. After the kids were at school I took my second Mom, and we drove to Higgar Tor, where I took, among others, the photo from the last post. You try and find the spot on the wide frame below. Then we moved to Padley Gorge, as we had seen from above it was still within the mist layer. The mist had turned a magical place like Padley Gorge with its twisted trees into a truly extraordinary experience.

This was taken a week ago, in Padley Gorge, Peak District, when the leaves just started turning yellow. The weather was fabulous and there were a few other photographers wandering around. Couple of times I had to wait until they left the frame. But I guess it is not as crowded as, say Yosemite.

I used a polarizing filter to control reflections and also as a ND filter. I tried different speeds for the right amount of blur in the rapids - this is 3.2 sec at f/18
