Cumbria and Scotland - some shots over Easter

[puddleduck]

Hi

I popped up to Scotland over Easter for some camping and walking, and some photos - weather was "interesting", a lot of rain, manky, fog and haze and an occasional burst of sun!

First morning, Derwent Water

Wast Water

Roman Hill Fort, Cumbria

Some typical weather!

Blea Tarn

St Abbs, 20 second exposure with a B&W 10 stop filter

Isle of Skye

Castle

Unknown mountain, Wester Ross

Sunset Loch Torridon


​

I'd definately like to go back and do it with some more settled weather!

I like 5 too - actually I need to crop out my ND Grad holder from the top corners from that (just spotted it!), that was shot at 17mm on full frame, bit wide for the holder..!

Great set. I know what you mean about the weather, but now and again it adds to the atmosphere of the shot. The waterfall on Skye is a case in point - I reckon that it would make a great b&w.

Thanks - I'm not keen on B&W after the fact, but I might try it.

I shot these with the D700 in B&W mode as the weather was so foul, so I did B&W when normally I wouldn't shoot

I really like 1 5 & 6 the best - now it could be my eyes but is the horizon straight in 6.

Great set altogether

I think your're right - it does work. But I reckon your other b&w shots are the best of the lot. I really think they work well.
