Winter Run-off

Padley Gorge, Peak District view map

Padley Gorge in the Peak District.
The snows and rains wash peat off the moors and make the water a dark 'tea' colour. Getting the right length of exposure is key to making the best of these conditions.

Lovely array of colours in this one. Also, I think you got the shutter speed just about right for this kind of shot - too long and you tend to lose shape and form.

.... and you succeeded very well here, v!

Yes, it is perfectly exposed to show the swiftness and strength of the water. Great light and composition too. Well done.
