Very nice, does that make you a jam eater though Stuart! ;) Dave

I borrowed some b+w filters, have not yet purchased any. Been buying better things such as prams, cots etc. etc. :(

Post edited. Realised it was an old post!

Matt, when I seen your comment I wondered how on earth you knew that. But when I opened the pic I see exactly how :) Dave.

Love #5. Makes me realise how lucky I am living on the doorstep after you made that journey to take these shots!

I took this pic last week not thinking much about it. I by no means bought the camera for portraits but liked this as my lad has a natural smile for once. Think the focus is a little out as the hood is nice and focussed round the edge.

Thanks everyone. I think I'm my worst critic. I knew the sky was an issue. Yes I sharpened them, do you think I went too far? Was a perfect day in the morning then got out a bit misreble.

Both but only ever use the raw. I used a gradient filter on the sky in Lightroom to darken the sky a bit. The trees to the right were quite noisy as i recovered them.

Thanks alf. I understand what you mean. I have a 22mm lens too. I'd been out previously at the derwent at 30 seconds and realised I had to speed it up a bit but possibly on this shot not enough. I guess it's the faster flowing the water the faster the shutter speed required (roughly).

After yesterday where I finally got some useable pics, I thought I'd venture out to a location I haven't been to since I was a kid. Buttermere. I'm not 100% happy as they were quite underexposed other than the sky and the only filters I have is an adjustable ND and a 10 stop ND. Maybe I...
