This has to be my favourite photo at the moment, taken earlier on in the year at Stanage Edge on the trig point. The conditions were just about perfect for what I wanted

Hi Richard

 

That's a nice shot, perfect exposure. Did you use any HDR technique on it?

[richardwheel 10]

cheers pete, no HDR used, I use Cokin X-Pro filters to balance the sky though.

Richard - what a beautiful shot - that's brightened up my morning no end!

[DaFoot 10]

I guess I should pluck up the courage to pick a pic...

 

I *think* my current favorite is this one but there several others I might have chosen.... it's not easy to choose!

 

I might have to choose a new favorite each week or sommat

I'm glad it brightened up your morning Joan!

 

Like the sharpness on the Anole, dafoot, great stuff!

I second that choice: I guess that's why I bought that print off Richard from Art in the Gardens!

I like the first one, as it has the makings of a dramatic shot; the low eyepoint and wideangle is definitely to my taste. The sky is great and the boat in the foreground is quite a strong image. I would increase the contrast and use more sharpening to get the focus more on the boat. There is too much detail behind the boat for me; a little blurring might help here, again to help focus the eye on the boat. Alternatively, you could add back some washed out colour to the boat, which would throw the background detail into obscurity.

 

Or you could just leave it as it is!

The last one was took at Beamish Museum a month or two back and the frist was tok at Mousehole in Cornwall. I liked the sky in that shot the most I think.
