Brecon Beacons on X'mas Day!

Decided to go for a walk up Fan Fawr and try to use the camera outside on an easy walk, knee deep powder, very very blue skies and no clouds at all, miles and miles of visibility. All shot with the 16-45mm F4, and a bit of Lightroom (presets), uncropped.
Comments welcomed (and probably needed), also, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Bumslide!

Approaching the steep section

Still approaching it...

Ripples and powder

Again, Merry Xmas!!

Looks like you had a good day out!

I like number 4 best.

+1 for me.

4 and 6 is very best.

Sorry, I missed the smile, but I can't edit it

Feeling like putting my gloves on just looking at them. What a fun way to spend christmas.

1 and 6 show the snow as that bit too blue - usual bright day and snow effect. Usually can well reduce this on the original Raw file or if Jpeg a bit of photoshopping.

But still very atmospheric shots thanks for sharing.

The two central pictures (Still Aproaching It and Near The Top) are for me the most dramatic. The sun flare and jet trails in the mono piucture are terrific. No.2 has a strange green cast which is corrected in the following similar shot.
I hope you did this terrific climb before stuffing yourself with turkey.

thanks guys, 1 and 6 does show far too much blue, I tried doing it in LR but not sure how to get rid of the blue snow without altering the everything's colour...
Re David, the green cast in pic 2 is one of the LR presets, I suppose it makes it look like a bit of a toycam instead
Oh, and turkey was made the night before to make way for this walk! Was worth it!

Nice shots

Number 4 for me as well
