Lakeside shots of Buttermere (Miss McT's mission begins!)

[Miss McT]

So I got my D40 last summer and must have taken a couple of thousand shots but only posted one lot on here way back then. They're all just sitting there unprocessed! What I enjoy most is my photography adventures themselves. If I get a good shot that's a bonus in my eyes. I just like being outside with my beloved D40 and my boyfriend, appreciating my surroundings. Anyway my lovely boyfriend (the excpetionally talented Messiah Khan) has challenged me to upload at least one photo a month. So here it goes...round one...THREE photos! :lol:

[mmcp42]

[Sheep]

[Byrhtnoth]

Great title; It__s_oh_so_quiet_and_blue_by_MissMcT

2 and 3 are good as well, but no1 hits the spot :thumbs:
well done Sarah, awaiting round two.


I just like being outside with my beloved D40 and my boyfriend,
I noticed the camera came first! :lol:

[Blue Moon 7]

Beautiful shots. Particularly No 1 which is stunning. Well done. Look forward to seeing more.

Chris :)

[Venomator]

Just ONE would have sufficed ... :suspect: ... it is absolutely stunning ... :clap:


Awesome image MissMcT ... :thumbs:



:p

[Messiah Khan]

I noticed the camera came first! :lol:

:'(

[Janice]

I agree No.1 but........ ive never walked by a lake and seen everything blue. I noticed Alasdairs were blue when he put up the lake shots.

is it actually like that or is it processed?

[HanC]

Lovely shots, but that first one is just stunning! such gorgeous shades of blue...:)

[Miss McT]

:'(

awww you know you come first :love:...(I will never ask you to answer the same question though :lol::lol::lol:)

[Miss McT]

Thanks very much everyone :D

Janice: yep it was actually blue! Think it was just the combination of the timing, the light etc. I've hardly done any processing at all - I'm very new to Lightroom - this was only my second time using it so I literally just tweaked things a tiny bit)

[Messiah Khan]

awww you know you come first :love:...(I will never ask you to answer the same question though :lol::lol::lol:)

Hehe, yeah to be fair I would have listed my camera first. :p

[CTR_Chris]

Wow, that was wierd. Was looking at pic one thinking "thats a rip of Messiah Khans2 pic, just from a different side lol

[Tooler]

No. 1 for me. Stunning shot:thumbs:

[wez130]

no.1 is stunning Miss, one day i'll take a shot as good as that :)

[Keltic Ice Man]

Prefer your angle on number 1 ;) - but don't tell himself.
Number 2 is really nice as well, the lake shore leading you to the fell and up

Thanks for Sharing :)

Allan

[dlh]

Number 1 is an absolute corker. Composition, colouring and processing are spot on.

Two thumbs up :thumbs::thumbs:

[Messiah Khan]

You see Sarah, you had nothing to be scared of by posting your shots, the proles are all very nice. Just need to keep the posting up now. :thumbs:

[DarknFuzzy]

I love the first one!! Very serene. (sp?) :thumbs:

Has it been Ps'd or is that straight out of the camera? It would look fantastic on my desktop if it were say 1280 x 1024. :whistling: :D

[HIMUPNORTH]

#1 is a very powerful image which way outshines 2 & 3. Going through your blue phase? :)


Thanks for sharing. :thumbs:

[King of Groove]

Lovely images but agree with everyone no 1 is a corker.

[J40ADF]

^^^^*** that lot said.
Number 1 is a stunning shot.
I love that part of the country but have not been back since I bought my Digital prosumer.
when I do go back i'd better make sure I have plent of batteries and memory cards.
I've a feeling i might cheese the wife off

[Milestone]

#1 for me as well, it's very atmospheric. :thumbs:

[Les McLean]

Terrible, horrendous, excruciating, embarrassing...................................... .................................................. ...........................................calling Messiah Khan lovely, I just can't believe it :)


But the images are something different, especially the first and third, first for the luminous light, and a well proportioned composition, third for the branches-most would have tried to avoid them , but you have intelligently used them as an additional lead-in, and it works a treat.

Good work.

[Helium_Junkie]

I thought that first pic looked extremely familiar! But you know what.... I think yours is better than MK's ;) hehe
The cloud and slope on the right really add to the scene :)
Looks like such a beautiful area, I really want to visit the lakes again.

[photostar_1]

Nice work, especially #1. I'd be chuffed to death with that!

Lucky you, having such a talented BF. ;)

[Miss McT]

Thankyou so much everyone! It is really nice to get such encouraging comments and I really do appreciate it :) I've had Lightroom fear :lol: as I'm not the most IT literate of people but I actually quite enjoyed playing around with it last night. I need to make sure I keep it up now and make the time to do some processing (in amongst yucky essays etc!) Thanks again - you all made me smile today :)

[Miss McT]

Lucky you, having such a talented BF. ;)

Aren't I just! :D :love:

[DinoS]

Number 1 is stunning. Good work

[BiNg]

Lovely work, especially that first one! :thumbs:

[Shutterman]

Number one for sure..... Great Capture...

Regards


Nigel

[gibbo]

Number 1 is real nice, geat shot keep them comming :thumbs:

[madmitch]

3 lovely shots Miss with the 1st being a winner :clap:.

[Ajophotog]

#1 for me too, it's a corker :clap:

[WanderingMind]

No1 is a corker Sarah, Nice :)

I like the composition on number two aswell, it's just a shame the light wasn't in your favour.

[chrispons]

Wow,no 1 is nearly fantastic.
maybe a little cropping of the dark right hand side bit,but otherwise really good.
Other two would be better in better light.
thanks,
Pons

#1 is excellent.:thumbs::thumbs:
