Above is a view across a local valley toward Penistone and showing that the farmers have been busy cutting down the hay ready for the harvest time.
Above is the same view of the field but with a yellow filter on to emphasise the yellow in the sky.
This is a repeat of above but with a very obvious green filter placed upon the lens.
Below is a copy of the picture above but with a blue filter on the screen which provides an appearance of a bright blue sky.
Blue is often used to emphasise the sky as quite often in photography a bright sky is reproduced as white of viewing and as such a blue filter often counters this and produces the same view that the camera actually caught.
Below is a view of the Penistone viaduct, it's quite a well known point of local interest and is used for the railway to cross the open expanse of the valley.
This once again shows a view of the valley where the Penistone viaduct cuts through the valley in order to pass over the river don.
Here is a very typical view from my area today. The field if full of wheat all ready for the farmers to gather in around harvest time which will be over the next few following weeks.
Above and below are three versions of the self same picture, the emphasis was upon the view but with a differing colour sky, in these instances it was a blue, pink and yellow sky.
I was experimenting with a yellow filter on this picture which shows what a difference between the pink filter above and yellow filter can make an image look so much different whilst being exactly the same.
Here is the same picture as above with no filter at all.
Below is a picture showing the famous Pensitone viaduct. It's often photographed because of the many arches it has which was built during the Victoria era.
Below is the Penistone viaduct with a slight filtration of pink placed on the lens.
Below is a quick glimpse of the river don to which works it's way down the valley toward Sheffield and eventually out to the North Sea some 60 miles away.
Here is the winding and meandering river don as seen through the trees near Penistone.
Below is a local trout stream known as the river don. It shows the distinct curves and bends in the river which meanders it's way from South Yorkshire and on to the North Sea after some 60 miles of travel.
This was something to which Peter Hulbert felt a need to capture with his camera as it shows how a small patch of Poppies bloom among a whole field of wheat.
As Peter Hulbert stepped back a little way with his camera, it captured just how a small bundle of Poppies grew all alone among a field of wheat.
It is quite amazing how s many wild poppies simply established a foothold in a field so well established with wheat.
This shows just how small an area had encouraged the Poppies hd sought to locate among a huge field of wheat but surviving quite well unaided.
Below is a weir on the river Don and is captured by Peter Hulbert to show the wonderful colours captured in the woods when the light comes in through the open trees.
The waterfall was running quite gently today and the colours reflecting through the many trees was creating a wonderful glow on the water.
After a short while the sun moved around and opened the weir up to a whole different range of colours. It is a very tranquil spot just here and yet within 10 mins of a major housing estate but could be a million miles away.
Here is an above and below view of exactly the same location on the river but using a pink filter above and a green one below. The pink emphasizes the white ripples on the water and shows up with a pink tinge.
Peter Hulbert took this picture to show that the foot bridge to which was washed away in the floods a few years ago has been fully restored by local enthusiasts and supported by the local council. Well done all involved.
Here is a slightly better view of the fully restored foot bridge. It covers quite an expanse across the valley.
This was quite an unusual sight to see, if you look carefully you will notice that a tree is actually growing from within the wall itself and has turned to grow upwards toward the light where a gap in the trees allows the sun to shine through.
It is amazing just how nature if left alone and to it's own devices will almost always recover and establish new life, even if that new life means rooting within a stone wall and growing upwards toward the light.
It's not often you get the change to have the place to yourself but on this stretch of the river, it is quite normal to have the whole place to yourself although the occasional horse and rider use it as a local place to take a hack.
