Sunrise Bust at The Roaches
A landscape photography blog by Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire based landscape photographer Rob Thorley Photography.
It’s the start of May, and here we are again at The Roaches, in the Staffordshire Peak District.
The forecast was looking good. A mixture of high, and low cloud promised a decent sunrise opportunity. Sadly though it wasn’t to be . . . In typical fashion when you don’t want mist, or more likely low cloud you get it.
I stayed top side. On the one hand I was expecting it to break at any minute, on the other hand I was hoping for an inversion. On the other hand (if I’d got three!) I kept thinking I should go down and get in the woodland.
A little pig-headed I stuck with plan A. Several hours and a flask of coffee later I was still in the same spot when the mist, or low cloud finally broke. By then sunrise was well and truly gone.
I fired off a few shots before having a wander up to Doxey Pool, but the morning was a bust. One of those days (again), but you’ve got to be in it to win it as they say!
