Those are more than a bit stunning.

Find fault with them? Only that I wasn't there for those fantastic landscapes. Looks like you had great weather. Am I right in thinking Tryfan and the Ogwen valley? Haven't been there in ages.

Brilliant work mate.

I like the middle pair best, not wholly sure why - maybe the foreground runs to the background better? Nice art anyway!

Great pictures brancho, i like. The last photo may have a slight touch of flare or was that intentional? Good composition on all pictures,i especially like the first pic. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments everyone glad you like them.

No these are local to me in lake District 1st is thirlmere and the rest are around buttermere

Thats the price of shooting into the sun

Quality of pictures is amazing and very sharp through which camera have taken this pictures and what's the resolution?


The shots were taken with a Olympus E-410 but a E-520 would be better as it has image stabilistaion. All shots were taken in RAW and processed in photoshop the first is to pictures stitched together.

The use of some graduated filters would help keep the detail in the highlights of some of clouds (shots 2 & 4). The composition of them is great, I especially like the panoramic. Maybe something extra in the foreground of shot 3 would have helped, but that's just my taste.
Hope this helps :)

I am looking for some ND Grad filters I think they will help a lot for such shots and thanks for the comments.

I like the photo with the bogbean growing in the small lake in the foreground. Is that the head of Ennerdale at the back of the photo? It looks a bit like Windy Gap.

The shot is from innominate tarn on Haystacks with gable and yes wind gap in shot.

Those are stunning Alf, missed them the first time round

Know them all very well, I can't believe how low Thirlmere looks. The spot I put my canoe in is now a 40m beach.

I've been trying to get over to Haweswater for a look but I don;t seem to get a free day at the moment.

WOW!
I'm a hobby photographer myself, and I love looking at others work.
The first shot is (IMHO) a textbook example of "rule of thirds". That is a real competition winner.
All great shots, but I keep falling back to the first as it's just stunningly beautiful.

Those are great. I LOVE the last but one! It's like a bushy version of one of those posh hotel pools that you see on TV where the water is level with the one edge, looking over the sea so you can't tell where the pool finishes and the sea starts.
