Tips to get the shot – Even though the waterfall itself is wholly impressive, distance is key to capturing the perspective that will get you all the double taps you could wish for. Stand around 100 yards away, up on the opposite bank facing straight onto the waterfall while your companion strikes different poses until you get the desired shot.

Tips to get the shot – This one takes some coordinating as both the photographer and model access the quarry at different points. The model must follow the path north towards the buildings, keeping an eye out for a sign that states ‘Steep unfenced rockfaces, deep water’. This path leads down a rough but walkable path to the crane wreckage seen at the bottom of the photo. Please take care not to go in the water or climb any uneven surfaces. The photographer should enter at the southern tip of the quarry, this has some slightly exposed areas and loose rock underfoot which are easily negotiated however caution is required.
Please note: This can be a dangerous location. Use only designated paths and follow all safety notices.

Tips to get the shot – Capturing this scene at the start or end of the day will give you the best results. Although as long as the sky is looking moody enough, you’ve got a winning shot. Wide and low is the way to go, ensuring your model breaks the horizon in order to fill the frame.

Tips to get the shot – Unless you have an ultra wide camera, it can be difficult to take this shot by yourself, so it might be handy to have a friend on hand to take the snap from over your shoulder. Be careful not to get too close to the edge. Instead, chill back a bit, get the shot, and then post straight to Instagram with a slight vignette and your favourite filter.
Please note: Take care at this location due to steep edges.

Tips to get the shot – Dramatic light is the way to get this shot to stand out, as well as having the model wearing something that really pops against the background. Stand a good distance away using a telephoto lens and make sure the model is in a central position. Add filter and vignette to taste.

Tips to get the shot – A wide lens with a large aperture ( preferably 2.8 or more ) is a huge help for caves. Shooting wide on a large aperture and a high ISO will mean you can leave the tripod at home. Look for interesting shapes and place yourself in the light and go as wide as you feel, to really show off the scale.

Tips to get the shot – Timing is everything! Blue hour starts about 10 min after sunset or around 30 – 40 minutes before sunrise, and lasts for aprrox 30 minutes. Get there an hour before sunrise or sunset and get set up and ready. You’ll want a large aperture and high ISO or if you’re good at standing still use a tripod to give you better quality. Add a head torch for cool human element.

Tips to get the shot – Choose your location well. You want to be high, but at a point where you can position someone below you. Shooting down will extend the distance of the view. Golden hour will give more drama, and also using a telephoto lens will give to scale. Shooting around F8 – F11 will keep things nice and sharp front to back.

Tips to get the shot – This is all down to the weather. A Cloud inversion, also known as a temperature inversion, is when warm air and cold air flip around, with the warm at the bottom and the cold air higher up. A similar look can be archived in fog, you just need to get above it. Head high to increase your chances but the affect when closer is fantastic to experience … the nearest you’ll get to walking on clouds. Use apps like Clear Outside or windy. Look for high humidity ( over 90 ) the dew point should be similar to the temperature and high pressure. For a more in depth info head to outdoorsmagic.com/article/how-to-witness-a-cloud-inversion/

Tips to get the shot – Another weather dependent shot. It goes without saying as little wind a possible is a must. You will have more chance on low level water as the wind intensifies the higher you go, but if there is zero wind head high to some of the small Tarns for a unique shot.
