View across the Calder valley from Stoodley Pike

I took this one on the last part of the climb up from Hebden Bridge to Stoodley Pike, Todmorden, in November this year. It's the view across the Calder valley. I grew up in Todmorden, at one end of the valley, and now live in Halifax, at the other end.

I love the colours, lines and textures in this picture. About 10 minutes after taking it, we reached the top, the sky went black and it started raining (see my post on 28th Dec).

In Lightroom, I used a grad filter to bring exposure in the sky down and made small tweaks to overall exposure, contrast, vibrance and saturation.
