Walking the West Yorkshire Moors


The West Yorkshire Moors is an original cartographic guide to the moorlands of West Yorkshire. The book traces old and new paths, unearths lost names and discovers hidden features on even the most apparently empty corner of these moors. There are extensive notes and sketches of the area’s history, wildlife, folklore and etymology. Twenty-nine suggested routes are included, most of which are accessible by public transport. These moors stretch from Ilkley, Keighley and Bingley in the north to Holmfirth, Marsden and Meltham in the south. This new edition of the book features amended and digitally remastered maps, and several new sketches. All the routes have been updated, with two brand new ones added.

Pinhole experiments
Notes: It is proving extremely difficult and time consuming to get an accurately exposed shot from the pinsta camera. The camera only uses sight lines for composition, it throws out a really wide depth of field, apparently it likes being placed on the floor. Pre-flashing with a 1000 lumen flashlight for 30 seconds saves a significant amount of time when exposing. For the bridge for instance I placed the camera on the ground very near to the edge of the bank but it still picked up a lot of foreground. Because of the nature of filmless photography the image comes out in reverse. For the image of the tree we used a tripod between 2-3ft high and because the light was really bright I did not pre-flash and I set the paper speed at 3 (the light affects the paper speed i.e low/poor light 1, strong light 3, bright light sunny day 6), we exposed for 2 minutes and the image as you can see is over exposed.
