 Members of my family are lucky enough to live a short drive away from the Peak District National Park. I wanted to visit the Dam on Derwent Reservoir, the location used to train the WW2 Dam Busters, and I wasn’t disappointed. I knew I was going to crop into a panoramic format and as wide as I could with the standard kit lens to get both towers in. I positioned my self down on a small plateau in front of the dam where the torrent of water comes crashing. Setup on my new Manfrotto 190Pro, I framed the towers to give the best balance to the shot.

I think I like this version better I love the comparision of the size of the people and the dam wall

I also like this one also, but feel the shadow just distracts one from the image just a little.
