....so the people living around the edge of Combs Reservoir had better be careful!!!! / The view is from Castle Naze, a small Iron Age promontory fort, near Doveholes in the Derbyshire Peak District, looking northwest towards Combs reservoir.
This is another autumnal photo taken in Derbyshire’s Peak District, near to Calver. Autumn is a wonderfully beautiful time of year, especially in the Peak and Lake Districts.

Bakewell has one of the oldest markets in the area, dating from at least 1300. The first recorded fair was held in 1254. Markets are still held every Monday and, unlike most of the other local centres, there is a thriving livestock market at the Agricultural Centre which is well worth a visit. The big event of the year is the annual Bakewell Show, which takes place the first Wednesday and Thursday in August and attracts farmers and many others from all over the Peak District and surrounding area. / This is a shot of Bakewell Bridge in Derbyshire, which straddles the river Wye. / Taken with my Nikon D80, 10-20 Sigma lens HDR and NX2 processed.
Taken with a Canon 400D, Sigma 17-70 lens at 19mm, 1/10 to 1/40 second exposure, F11, ISO100, Edited Photomatix & Photoshop. I have been looking through some of my old shots that I have not uploaded to redbubble, this shot was taken over in Derbyshire on a stunning October day last year. Ladybower Reservoir is a large Y-shaped reservoir, the lowest of three in the Upper Derwent Valley in Derbyshire, England. The River Ashop flows into the reservoir from the west; the River Derwent flows south, initially through Howden Reservoir, then Derwent Reservoir, and finally through Ladybower Reservoir. Its longest dimension is just over 3 miles, and at the time of construction it was the largest reservoir in Britain.

There is an area around the viewing points at Derwent reservoir and Derwent dam, in Derbyshire’s Peak District, England. I took this picture of the steps that lead down to one of the many fabulous views around the dam on my day out with fellow Redbubbler and friend Jason Connolly. It was a fabulous afternoon out. I decided to use my 45mm Tilt-Shift lens to create this wonderful surreal depth of field, to give it a mysterious and dreamy atmosphere. I do love looking at steps and how they are designed. Some with gentle slopes, and some hard and steep. Some sweep around whilst others are simple and straight forward. Each have different character. What I love about these are the bits of life that are growing in all the nooks. These concrete steps are full of life.

This is another view of the spill way in black and white to heighten the details. As I stated before, out with my friend and fellow Redbubbler Jason Connolly photographing the Derwent reservoir in the Peak District of Deerbyshire, England, we spent quite a while photographing Derwent dam and the surrounding area. We also spotted this lovely out flow of water into the Derwent reservoir. This water comes from the Ashop river which flows through Snake Valley. A portion of the river was diverted to flow through the mountain to the other side through this water way tunnel and out into the Derwent. There is a dam in the Ashop, but it only stand 10 ft., but is still used to allow water to continue to flow into the reservoir, even though the river is allowed to also run into the Ladybower reservoir as well. The concrete table here creates this beautiful cascade of water. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 28-300mm IS zoom lens / f/22 / Shutter speed: 5 seconds / ISO 125 Some post processing work done in Photoshop CS. I changed it to B&W and adjusted tone with green and red filters. I also decided to clean around the edges by cropping the image.
This photo is straight from the camera. As Is Whilst out with my friend and fellow Redbubbler Jason Connolly photographing the Derwent reservoir in Derbysire’s Peak District, England, we spent a lengthy time photographing Derwent dam and the surrounding area. We also spotted this lovely out flow of water into the Derwent reservoir. This water comes from the Ashop river which runs through Snake Valley. This stream is part of that river, making its way through the mountain from the river on the other side through this water way tunnel and then out into the Derwent. There is a dam 10 ft. dam on the river side which is still in partial use, although the river is allowed to continue on to the Ladybower reservoir as well. The concrete table here creates this beautiful cascade of water. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 28-300mm IS zoom lens / f/22 / Shutter speed: 2.5 seconds / ISO 125

One of my favourite places in the Derbyshire Peak District….the Derwent valley area with its three dams and surrounding woodland .After the rain and windy weather we have had lately I managed a trip down only to find that the wind had taken most of the autumn leaves off the trees…..so armed with about 2000 tubes of glue I managed to stick a few back on to be able to get this shot!!!! / The Howden and Derwent dams were both built between 1901 and 1916 using 1.2million tons of stone.An entire village,made of corrugated iron,had to be built first to house the workforce and their families.Birchinlee village,which had its own shops,school and even a village hall,became known as ‘Tin Town’. / The area was chosen because the valley was long and deep,had narrow points for dam building and…..had a high rainfall!! / The third dam, Ladybower,was built between 1936 and 1943 and is the largest of the three.Combined, the three reservoirs hold over 463 692million litres of water!!.......now, how many bathfuls does that work out at,I wonder….....??Anybody got an old bathtub I can take down there next week?? / 106 views
