I went on a photo walk through Padley Gorge in the Peak District as part of the Peak District Walking Festival, on Wednesday 27th April 2011. Which was led by Chiz Dakin, a member of Derby City Photographic Club, have a look at her website for her photography workshops here.

Many of the photographs were shot using an 8x neutral density filter, thus allowing an exposure of up to 15 seconds in some cases and using an aperture of from f8 to f36.

I have made a colour correction to the images to remove a slight green caste which was created by the sunlight streaming through the new growth of leaves on the trees in the gorge.

In the May 2011 Derbyshire Life magazine there is an article that has been written about Aston on Trent. In the article it mentions a book, Moments in Time, that I published for the Aston on Trent History Group, the cover is shown below. Website here.

I was asked by the author of the article if I would mind if the magazine used one of my photographs, I agreed and sent the first photograph, shown below, which was cropped as per the second photograph, presumably to fit the available space in the article.
