Brimham Rocks
Brimham Rocks has been on my list of favourite places for a long time, so it came as a bit of a surprise when I realised we’d never taken Mia there. We’ve put that right more than once recently.
It was also another opportunity to dabble with some more HDR photography. I’m loathe to use the word photography when I just point the camera and press the button, but anyway, the results are on the left. I think this (arguably overprocessed) stuff looks both nice and fake at the same time, but on the other hand, fake or not, I think it captures a much better idea of what it was like to be there. The main downside is that having to take three images at different exposures means that you don’t want things to move. Fine for rocks, but if you click the image and look at the top-left corner you’ll see that trees sometimes refuse to oblige.
If you’re in the area and hungry or thirsty, I’d recommend The Wellington in nearby Darley. As well as good food and ale, it’s child-friendly, which was just as well as our party on one occasion consisted of 7 children to 6 adults. Mia took advantage of the friendliness by filling all the candle holders with salt, something I’ll take this opportunity to apologise for, since I didn’t at the time.
