No. 1 for me, Gareth. Moody. Great light.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

3rd one - for the sheer scale and distance that you have crammed into it. The B&Ws are gorgeous too, especially the 1st one (surprised me that the colour one was a disappointment by comparison!).

Sorry to hear that you are suffering from long COVID. I spent two weeks in hospital with COVID back in February. Caught it the week before my first injection. Very weak when I came out . Took two weeks before I could give my dog tehe walk he was used to. Get well soon.

Great images Gareth, particularly the BW ones. I'm drawn to #2 and #5 more than the others, but they're all very good.
I hope you start making inroads on the health front soon, myself and my family have luckily managed to avoid the dreaded Covid until now and we have our boosters tomorrow, so hoping we can avoid it. It certainly seems to have hit you very hard, best wishes for a full recovery.
Kind Regards
David

Glad to hear that you are managing to get out and about again Gareth, even if it is a slow recovery.
All the photos are up to your usual high quality and I like them all, both black and white and colour Probably number 1 is my favourite in black and white and number 3 is better in colour, both having foreground interest leading into a distant view.
Looking forward to seeing more of your photos, but try not to do too much too soon. Look after yourself.

So glad you're using your photography to help improve your physical health (and mental I find) - It must have been a worry having covid and then having to be hospitalised with a chest infection. Just take it easy and do things gradually. Clearly your camera skills haven't been impacted at all

I am sorry to hear of the virus and it's legacy, Gareth, and glad that you appear to be on the mend. I hope your dog has returned to his natural colour.
Talking of colour, your monochrome(!) pictures are my favourite. Lots of mood and feeling, and moody feeling, if that makes sense.

Thank you all, yes progress, slow, but in the right direction. Just wish it was totally out of my system with any long term Covid issues a thing of the past. Still, as much as it sucks and it makes me feel down and unhappy I tell myself there are others far worse than me and many also haven't made it so I should look at the positives. Glass half full kinda stuff.
Back to the images, the light was flat and it looked nice in colour as it muted everything and the dynamic range was squashed but as it was overcast with detail on the sky it suited mono conversions well with a bit of post processing.
Appreciate all the comments

Thanks Daronl and Peter, appreciate the kind words
I have some other images I've posted online on FB groups I've shot since but haven't been in front of a PC to get the links to post here. Maybe tomorrow's job!
