This edge of the Peak District offers a wonderful range of subjects – including waterfalls, colourful oak and birch woodlands, old millstone quarries, and natural gritstone outcrops. Since the sun will set  just before the course finishes , we should be able to get some great shots in golden hour light and at sunset if conditions permit.

Peak District Landscapes Around Stanton Moor

This course has now taken place, but you can see details of all our other courses here.

This course will be limited to just 4 photographers, with places costing £99.00 each. Please contact us to request a booking form, or if you need any further information about this course. 

This intermediate level course will explore some of the wonderful photographic subjects around Stanton Moor, between Bakewell and Matlock in the Peak District. The first part of the day will be spent photographing industrial remains in one of the former sandstone quarries which surround the moor. Stanton Moor has long been prized for its fine grained stone for centuries (the paving for Trafalgar Square came from here), and the quarry we will visit still retains plenty of interesting features from its industrial past – though they have now been softened and partly reclaimed by nature.

Apart from the impressive quarry faces, there are abandoned millstones, a well-preserved blacksmith’s forge and a large stone cutting shed (see below) – all of which make for some great subject matter.

Peak District Waterfalls and Woodlands in Autumn

These courses have now taken place, but you can see details of all our other courses here.

Saturday, November 11th from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm. £99.00 per person. 

Saturday, November 18th from 9.00am to 4.30pm. £99.00 per person. 

These intermediate level landscape photography courses have both been timed to take advantage of the wonderful colours of autumn, and will be held on the moors around Fox House (close to the border between Derbyshire and Sheffield). Both courses are accessible by public transport.

The October 21st course will run from 10.00 am to 6.00pm, so will include photography during “golden hour” right up to sunset time if the weather conditions are suitable.

The course on November 18th features a whole day’s photography, starting just after sunrise at 9.00am and finishing after sunset at 4.30pm. 

This part of the Peak District offers a wonderful range of subjects – including waterfalls, colourful oak and birch woodlands, old millstone quarries, and natural gritstone outcrops. If we are lucky, we might well get some mist in the morning – this is one of the best spots in the Peak District for temperature inversions! For those interested in close-up and macro subjects, there should be plenty of interesting fungi at this time of year as well.
