We're members of Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, so decided to visit one of their reserves @ Miller's Dale last weeekend
#1 The Quarry
Quarried Limestone was placed in the limekilns and then straight into railway wagons
Not too sure about this - did process in colour but then decided it may look better as mono

#2 The Abseilers
A bunch of kids were abseiling off the viaduct
Canon 350D, Sigma 10-20mm @ 20mm, f/11, 1/25, ISO100, HH, FF
#3 The Dipper's Nest
We wanted to see Dippers and unknown to us at the time of this shot, there was one of their nests in this shot, on the far bank!
Canon 350D, Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm, f/22, 0.4 sec, ISO100, Tripod, FF
#4 The Dipper
And here's one of the owners of the nest
Canon 350D, 300mm f/4 IS, 1.4x TC, f/5.6, 1/10, ISO100, Tripod, FF
#5 The Orange-tip
We'd seen Orange-tips (loads) and Common Blues (a couple) but it wasn't until late afternoon before any were prepared to settle. A lazy shot (as I used my 300mm and not macro as I should) but I liked the resultant image with the backlighting
Canon 350D, 300mm f/4 IS, 1.4x TC, f/5.6, 1/200, ISO100, HH
Comments good, bad or indifferent all very welcome!
