| Historically I shot landscape images mainly as context images in support of wildlife sightings. No thought given to composition as it does not matter. Mainly to inform anyone who asked me about where to look for certain species. I am now trying to produce more varied landscapes as an interest in itself. Landscapes in the Goyt Valley itself only and whatever mioves me on the day.
Images catalogued below are mainly along specific stretches of route, indicated on the related maps. Plus features or vantage points. There have to be two supporting maps to encompass the whole Goyt Valley area, each designed to fit an A4 page in landscape format. One above and one below Easting line 76.
This information may help others decide where to shoot their own images.
Rather than try to draw lines along irregular stretches of route, a capital letter in red will identify the route location on the maps (blue on the interactive map). Text in the catalogue below will name the stretch of route, feature or vantage point. Features and vantage points will be identified by the reference letter in a coloured circle.
The interactive links will always link to the first page in the MAIN section of the route concerned. The letter A or B tagged on to the end of the catalogue name below indicates the map concerned. At the moment I cannot think of a better way of organising this. Images posted will be as they are taken, added to the end of the section concerned. Most images taken are archived and not used.
There are three headings under each location. Anything at all video will be under that heading. Any scene containing obvious snow or heavy frost will be listed under Winter regardless of the date. Seasons constantly shift and the longer you live you will realise that wild fluctuations in climate patterns are perfectly normal behaviour for nature and always have been. All else will be under MAIN. |
