Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks Walk Photography
Mar 9th
We did the three peaks walk in the Yorkshire dales at the weekend, which is a 26 mile all day walking affair over 3 of the peaks in the dales, (Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough) and had some of the best landscapes Yorkshire has to offer. I had seen a similar photography idea that I wanted to try during the walk, it basically involved taking a photo every minute or so for about 12 hours, it got quite tedious after about 15 minutes, especially going up the hills and finding 3 feet of frozen snow on the tops but it was worth it in the end and the weather was pretty stunning too.
I also managed to get a couple of usable landscape photographs at some points that I have used at the start of the video to set the scene, I’ll put these up in a post soon.
The Yorkshire Dales
Nov 12th
We went up for a drive around the Yorkshire Dales yesterday, had some great weather which was pretty lucky. We got the the Ribblehead viaduct for sunrise, I’ve wanted to do a panoramic of this for sometime but never had any decent light. The were both about 8 shot stiches each at 70mm and joined in PTGui. We then drove to Hawes and down to Kettelwell, taking the tree shot on route. Theres a link to the tree location here.

I’ve developed a bit of a love hate relationship with my tripod, I have a Manfrotto 190 cxpro3, it’s great being so light but the amount of times I have trapped fingers between the centre column and a closing leg is far more than I’d like to admit, maybe it’s just me. It’s a little annoying I can’t remove the centre column as I like to get quite low, I’ll have to look up some tips on it.
