My Jetty Pic!

Hi there, Here is my version of the Jetty photo also taken by Spit. Mine was taken on 29.12.05 at about 9.30am

I hope that it worked as it is my first go at this sort of thing!

No image, sorry folks I'll have to try again!

Here is another one of the next jetty taken the next day when there was lots of mist coming off the water.

These photos were taken with an Ixus 400 so there ibsnot a lot that can be done regarding control. At the same time I also used my trusty EOS 600 with Fuji Velvia and a polarising filter. I am really looking forward to the slides coming back as I have had them placed on a photo CD as well.

The location is at Ullswater in the Lake District in the grounds of a hotel called "The Inn On The Lake"

Thank you for your encouraging comments, I can't wait to pick up my CD tomorrow.
Phoenix_Cosmos, it is not possible to take this shot at sunset due to the mountains getting in the way. In addition the frost did not last beyond 10.30 am.
Senset pics are some of my favourite!

Here is a wider version with a slight bit of tweaking. It is not possible to get any earlier shots in this particular location due to the surrounding mountains blocking out early sunrises. Even in the height of summer the sun does not rise properly until 8.00am.

Cheers, PeterT.

Hi Spit, great minds think alike when it comes to taking photos! I was staying at the hotel and overlooked the jetties from our bedroom. Could not believe the lighting when I opened the curtains so after a quick breakfast I nipped out armed with all my camera equipment.
Have you taken any shots of the classic boathouse near Pooley Bridge?
Here is another shot taken from near the steamers:

Hi, you may have noticed that the jetties don't appear to be the same in all of the photos in this thread. That is because there are 3 different ones, about 5 metres apart, all parallel, leading into Ullswater from the back of "The Inn on The Lake" at Glenridding.
