Ladybower reflection

Shaun Whiteman

Ladybower reflection

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.

    Y’know, I’ve driven past Ladybower plenty of times whilst visiting the Peaks, normally whilst heading for Stanage or the moorlands of the High Peak, but have yet to seek out the perfect location to get the best out of the place – I think you’ve found it mate!
    This should be put into the ‘Derbyshire’ group.

  • Shaun Whiteman replied

    Thank you Paul, I must get to Derbyshire more, it’s a tough choice, the Dales, the Lakes, the Trough of Bowland or the Peaks!!! Thanks for the info on the group!
