Lake District Weekend Meet

Oh my, this one just spoke to me as soon as I saw it. Something about the sharpness of the rocks versus the indistinct, almost painting-like background. It reminds me of an illustrating photograph you might get from a book in the 1920s or 30s, for some reason I can't put my finger on. Really, really nice, Steve.

(Just realised the other thing my eye was drawn to - that cloud on the right is every so slightly in front of the hill. It really pulls it into spatial context as a focal point, rather than background)

Thanks again Keith, Its funny how people can sometimes see something in a photo that the photographer didn't or didn't intend. This was another slightly voiceless shot but I guess sometimes one can get luck.

Last lot from me, promise.

First the rainbow from Moss Force, did we work out if this effect has a name. Flickr has done terrible things to this one, it was a heavy crop and its been sharpened compressed.

And finally the afternoon at Derwent, I was trying to expose for the sky but the hills seem to have retained quite a lot of detail.

All shot on FP4+ through the RB67 and souped in Obsidain Aqua.

That reflection is very Rorschach-ink-blotty. Really interesting!

Can't get enough of these classic B&W landscapes with the layers of tone. Really nice, Steve (although the black tree and rock bottom-left edge could stand to be cropped I think)

Sorry I missed your comments before. Thanks again.

Looks like it's a 22 degree halo, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(optical_phenomenon)...

For completeness I should add this one, of the Low Brandelhow jetty:



I think this was probably on Monday morning. There's a shot including Chris @raathistle on the beach with the jetty in the background a couple of frames earlier. 2007-expired Reala 100...

That's my lot of those worth posting, you'll be pleased to know!

Still finding shots from the Lakes on random rolls of film from random cameras, these are from a Fuji Disposable given the b&w treatment in LR
