Upper Derwent Dams.....

[Bumph GB]

.... well, two of them anyway. I decided a couple of weeks ago that i would make the trip to Ladybower dam the next time i had some decent weather on my day off, well thursday turned out to be nice (if a little cloudy) so i set off with very little knowledge of what to expect. It`s fantastic scenery but i was only happy with a few of my shots, so here they are:

Ladybower dam:

4)

Derwent dam:

6)

7)

8)

C&C more than welcome, thanks for looking.

Nice set of photos, what processing have you done to the colour shots? They are very good.

# 1 for me,those clouds give the shot great depth,and that sink hole feels very threatening.Good shot

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback, i`ve got to say i dont stick to any real pattern when processing my shots i just do what i feel works best. Generally with colour photos i like to take some of the saturation out and up the contrast.

Edit: Most of the shots where taken using auto w/out flash using a rather cheap grad filter i got off of ebay, i`m on a tight budget but i have to say that if i get any spare money i will be investing in a Cokin set up. Filters give you options when shooting that you cannot re-create with photoshop.

I recently invested in a Cokin filter set, not from ebay but I may buy some more of the filters from there if the price is right. I have the ND grad X2 and X4. Most other filters though can be recreated in most part on the computer - more expecially the colour filters, not sure about the star effect ones though :shrug:
