The Little Waterfalls of the Peak District - Wyming Brook
I take a stroll along the banks of the Wyming Brook, reopened after recent bridge repair. I manage to catch a little light before the rain rolls in and it is definitely an uplifting morning.

Craig Yates dragged me out to shoot sunset at Curbar Edge because he was too lazy to do morning photography and has a mortal fear of temperatures above 17 degrees. Add to this that fact that I was ill (I still am) and what always happens with me when I’m miserable, I try to make life awkward for others. BACK MY BOOK!

A Lonely Tree, A Slate Mountain, a Point and Click Camera…
Переглядів 494Місяць тому
What a morning this was. Not the easiest either. Poor planning (or non-existent) and the perils of walking on wet slate really tested my steel in Wales. I visit the Lonely Tree in Llanberis, I see if a point and shoot camera from decades ago can compete with my R5 and I embark on a reconnaissance of the Dinorwic Slate Quarry. Apologies, this is a long one. And yes, that is what ‘she’ said.

My first visit to the beautiful Consall Valley woodland had been going well enough, but when I stumbled (literally, I tripped up) upon the fantastic, preserved rail station, got to see inside a working Signal Box and have the run of the platforms to photograph majestic, beast level steam locomotives my day was absolutely complete.
Photographing Bluebells in the Peak District

I ventured out to take another look at Lea Wood near Matlock in the Peak District and also met up with my mate Craig Yates to spoil his day. After a lovely and gentle walk through the area Craig punished me by making us take the most dangerous route imaginable to a man with no fitness close to his sixties… but my, at the end of it… the Bluebells, OH… the Bluebells.
Rainy Morning Photography - New Peak District Location

    Great video as always Eddie , and love the banter between you and Craig! 🤣 I was thinking about you the other day while walking around Knypersley Pool.. there's some great compositions to be had there, reflections in the lake, woodland all around, wildlife galore, and a hidden waterfall too! It'd probably qualify for one of your "easy walk" videos too 😀 I know it's not Peak District we all love but it's close to Stoke and a great undiscovered place for photographers! That said, so is Biddulph Grange. (Not the grange gardens but the free place 😅) It's a gold mine for compositions. It's right up your street mate 👍 the old woodland there is super special, and you get the place to yourself which is what we all want!! Sorry I'm rambling now haha 😂

    The UA-cam gods (or maybe it's just my crippling nostalgia for Stoke's finest Greggs) keep blessing me with your videos. Eddie, watching you wrestle a camera like it owes you money while grumbling about the weather is pure cinematic gold. It's basically David Attenborough narrating the mating rituals of a particularly disgruntled badger. Speaking of hustle, I saw your Kickstarter... one reward? Come on, Eddie! Where's the Stoke spirit? I was hoping for a signed copy dipped in a puddle of chip shop gravy (it's Stoke, innit?) or maybe a limited edition porcelain figurine of the Apocalypse Cow riding a pigeon. But hey, beggars can't be choosers, right? Anyway, keep up the good work, mate. Here's a fellow Stokie living the dream on the other side of the world. In my spare time, I scale mountaintops and bellow Pratchett quotes at bewildered chickens ("All gods are bastards!") during the occasional typhoon. Hoodies entirely optional, because real Stokies embrace the elements (and pneumonia, apparently). P.S. Check out Eddie's link to his Kickstarter for anyone else who wants to support Stoke's finest photographer (and possible future chicken whisperer): www.kickstarter.com/projects/eddieskelson/eddie-skelson-peak-district-photographer

    Hi Eddie. Great advice about always taking your phone. Four weeks ago, I was taking photos around MamTor and The Great Ridge early one morning, and while heading down from the ridge towards the broken road I slipped on wet grass, dislocating and fracturing my ankle in three places as well as breaking my fibula. Thankfully I had my phone and was able to call an ambulance who used what3words to pinpoint my location. Edale Mountain Rescue Team did a fantastic job of getting me down on a stretcher. I've got a long period of recuperation ahead, but I'm spending the time usefully by working my way through your videos.

    • @EddieSkelson
      @EddieSkelson 10 днів тому

      It’s super important to, at the very least, make sure people who will worry know where you are in case you can’t use the phone. I wish you a speedy recovery, I’ve been very lucky not to have damaged myself more severely on many of my trips and while I preach safety and pragmatism I’m the worst for following my own advice when I think there may be a cool shot ahead of me, despite the wind, rain, alligators etc…

    To get to the interesting stuff in the quarry, you need to hop over the fences (with keep out signs) and go higher up. Perhaps meet up sometime and I can show the areas I’d recommend

      I’ve got a hot date with CraigYates there at some point, but I’m a bit of a prude when it comes to fence hopping. If the fence is down, I’m fine with it, but the fences there are very sturdy (they look pretty new actually).

      Excellent. It's a fantastic piece of kit. Just remember that its fragile and NOT water resistant. Its a fair-weather vlogging unit for sure. But the sound is very good (except in rough wind) and you might want to consider an extra battery if you don't already have one as you will cane it just because its so good.

      A runner informed me! I should have realised how close all of these things were, especially as it’s the same in the Peak.
