I'm up in Yorkshire to complete the Yorkshire three peaks challenge tomorrow (24 miles / 38.6km, 5200ft / 1585m of ascent within 12 hours). But prior to attempting that tomorrow - and to prepare for the early start - I dragged myself out of bed at 4am this morning and headed over to Ribblehead Viaduct, arriving shortly after sunrise. When I looked out the curtains when the alarm went off the wall to wall cloud cover made me seriously consider getting back under the covers, but somewhat reluctantly decided to proceed as planned. I was very pleased I did (and even a tad regretful I hadn't set the alarm slightly earlier as the sky illuminated as I drove over). I arrived around 4:50am (sunrise 4:38) and wandered around snapping away until 8:30 and time to head home to a day of work. I managed to process through lunch so here are some of my favourites.

All with A9, A7Riii and A7R (full spectrum with 720nm STC IR filter), plus Sony 16-35 f4, Laowa 12mm (with/without shift adaptor), Tamron 28-200 and Sony 100-400G, plus a few Lee filters. Exif should be there for all but the Laowa shots for those interested - sorry, too tired to type it all out :)

1. 5:04am


2. 6:00am

8. 8:06am
 
2 and 5 for me - both excellent.

Shame the arches in 3 have a bright area around the stonework.
 
Number 2 for me. The touches of light on the arches just sweep you into it. And as a lover of open moorland the bog cotton in the foreground makes me feel at home. Only lacking a steam train ;)
Good luck for the 3 Peaks
 
Really nice pictures Simon. The early start was worth it. Well done :D
 
Yes well I like all the coloured shots not so much the mono ones and thank you for telling us the location.
 
A nice set Simon. No2 for me.
 
Excellent set of images. The colour ones are my favourites.

I was there myself about 8 years ago but didn't see a single train.
 
No 5 in IR is a cracker :)
 
Great set, have to agree with most, #2 is the one that works best for me, but all are nice.(y)
