Sorry about that. It turns out that photobuckets default settings were 1024px. Must be a new setup since I last used it...:lol: So, C+C welcome!

Thanks ;) I have resized the images too - forgot that when I put the borders on it took them just above 800px!

These three shots were all taken at the end of November '08. The weather was much the same as it is now but not quite as cold! 1 2 3 C+C welcome. :) It seems photobucket had defaulted them all to 1024px - sorry! At least I know i'm not going mad :)

This one ;)

# 1 & #3 were shot in a gale and I ended up having to hold the camera which i'm sure would have added some lens blur (my hands are unsteady at the best of times). PP involved a small crop and sharpening the image. I didn't want to over sharpen it though as it looked unatural. Think thats the...

Cheers for the comments. I've added the original above but the mushroom really is that bright red colour. Looked completely surreal when I saw it but not sure it works in full colour either!

Does this look silly or good? Or somewhere in between? :lol: C+C welcome :) EDIT: This is the original shot I took. Unfortunately it really is that red :(

#1 is a cracking shot :)

Is that lightning striking the hill top in the background?

I like this shot but agree with what Russell says! Looks like a nice day in the sunshine :)

On nights so back off to bed :(

It depends which way you come from Stockport. If you came over Winnats pass and then went through to Bamford and then upto Ladybower then you can return over Snake Pass and go in a large circle. There is Mam Tor near to Winnats Pass which if you are feeling lazy you can park nearby and walk...
