I've returned from a great week in the Lake District, in fact probably the best weather week I've had there, it shows in the colours around the mountains too - amazingly dry. These were all taken whilst hiking so "golden hour" light wasn't an option (mainly because I was too shattered to get out of bed early!!) - all comments welcome as usual though!!

lovely set of photo's, they say 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration but I suspect in this case they were nearer 95% perspiration
 
Fantastic set, colours are crisp and nice and sharp, lovely
 
Very nice, it's years since I have been to the Lakes, I remember it well as we had a river running through the tent and had to come home early. I'm glad the weather was a bit kinder to you.

Thanks for the feedback...

Chris,

the Derwent water, Borrowdale and Dale Head shots are all taken with a Pentax 17-70, the Buttermere photos with a 12-24

Thanks Simon, nice shots! Quite tempted by a 17-70 as from those shots it looks an excellent lens.
 
Despite living close to Snowdonia the Lake District just drags me back every year, it's a special place - of the several years I've visited this is the first time I've had a week of sun and cloudless summits, it could well be my last too:LOL:

Chris - despite owning the 12-24 I still generally prefer the DA17-70, it's not quite as sharp but I find it has nicer colour contrast

Hello Simon as always great work :clap: i would also like to thank you for the link to, Wainwright's Snowdonia in photos, ordered over the weekend and looking forward to receiving it, should keep me going for a couple of years, as I hope to make it my challenge to trace the famous artists footsteps and stand where he once stood too :)

Thanks Kevin...

Hope you enjoy our Wainwright's e-book - out of interest is it the CD that you've purchased? It took two years for myself and the rest of the team to get it all together so should keep you going for a while(y)

Love the 1st image, the boats lead the eye in to the guy sittin on one, not sure if it's the rule of thirds or the lead in but your eye naturally goes to him.
 
Really nice shots though the HDR is a little strong for me. Beautiful place though.(y)
