Amid the heather on the Stiperstones

September 07, 2015

We had a trip to the Stiperstones, part of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to take advantage of the large amount of purple heather that covers the area.

The last time we went up there was in December, after a few days of snow - and it couldn't have looked more different.

We arrived late in the afternoon so that we would have warm light and shadows to play with. 

The quartzite rock makes a good contrast to the heather surrounding it, and we were lucky that the atmosphere was clear and provided a good view of the Long Mynd.

There was a lot of waiting around for the sun to come out from behind the clouds, but that's a part of landscape photography you learn to put up with!

Equipment used: Nikon D800, 14mm, 24-70mm, Fuji X-T1, 18mm, 55-200mm
