Just a few I thought I would share from my trip to the lakes a couple of weeks ago - all have had elvels adjusted before being saved for the web.

#1 View across Buttermere

#2 Sourmilk Ghyll which was almost completely frozen

#3 View across Derwent Water from Surprise view

#4 View from approx half way up Skiddaw looking towards Keswick and the Derwent Water

nope, definitely not a painting... I remember all too well the fact I had to stop climbing or die... so I had a (fairly long) rest and that is one of dozens of pics I took while getting some feeling back in my legs and some air in my lungs

Thank you for the kind words - much appreciated

you use the 17-85mm for the wide shots?

All of the above shots were taken with the 17-85 - it was a very cold weekend and the weather didnt lend itself to many lens changes

On second and third viewings, on properly calibrated monitors, the dark patches don't seem quite so dark. Bit of tweaking here, some colour balancing there, little bit of unsharp mask, etc etc.

Bootiful.

All of the above is something I need to learn more about.

I must admit looking at the pics at work and then again at home there is quite a difference in quality.
