Well this weekend we managed to have some nice weather for once in Cornwall. I took quite a few snaps, and these are some of the better ones that i've looked at so far:

Comments welcome on all of them.

I was quite dissapointed by my wide angle landscape stuff, mainly because in the sunny / cloudy conditions the sky appeared to be blown-out all the time. I suppose if I had my tripod with me I could have tried some HDR stuff, but hey ho! :D
 
The first one - malpas?
River Fal at least?
Nice pictures mate... I've not managed to get my camera out and about in Cornwall yet. Looking forward to taking some of Scilly in the summer. :D

Helford passage actually. My favourite part of Cornwall :D
 
Just a few more.

It really is disapointing that I can't get nice landscape images unless there is either very dull grey cloud, or mostly blue sky. For example the weather was quite bright in the image below, but in order to show the sky up I had to reduce the exposure and mess with the contrast / fill light a bit. It looks ok, but it doesn't capture the lovely bright weather on the day :(

I hope you dont mind, I had a quick play with the levels to see what could be done. With a bit more tweaking you may be able to get what you want? I think I over-saturated it a little :)
