Much like the other weekend when I travelled to Wales to catch the sun, I travelled to the Peak District this weekend. One car, one camera, one map, one laptop and a tube of Pringles were my supplies for the trip – hopefully all of them would work. I opted to shoot in RAW format this time around, in the hope that I could do more with the photos if there were problems with exposure etc.

I had been assured by my weather forecast relaying entity that there would be sun in the area by 11 A.M at the latest, so I set off around 8:30 up the A34 to Congleton, aiming to catch the A54 across to Buxton, and then work my way south to the A52 to get home. It wasn’t exactly the brightest of mornings, instead the grey clouds were low in the sky, dimming any available light and generally making photography a pain.
