Dull but Nice - Ullswater

You've treated these with just the right amount of processing - knowing when to stop is a skill in itself.
I especially like the second one which, to be honest, I think is a brilliant image. The grain (noise) doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Damn. That's it. I'm moving! Flippin' boring Essex - very flat farmland as far as the eye can see. Very nice shots, fab clouds in the 2nd and 3rd, and I love the mist coming over that headland in the 2nd.

A very nice set, particularly No1. However, I do feel there would be a slight improvement if the reflected scene was just slightly darker than the top half. To me it would make them look a bit more natural.

Thank you very much folks
Davex - I know what you mean - I would have liked to have a bit play with my filters for that but I have a wee problem. I've broken 5 in the last few months falling on various crags (and even on the odd flat bit). The only one I have left is a 0.9 soft which has a chunk broken off the top left and a chunk off the bottom right - just enough in between to cover the lens. I used to put a soft grad in upside down for the bottom but theres nowt I can do about it at the moment.

The whole set is good, and No 1 might just make it past the post without the white border.

All excellent. Must be great to have that on your doorstep.
Imagine the possibilities all year round in all weathers, morning noon and night.

Cheers again folks - very lucky and I know it. Just back from a 'wee' visit again this morning. No colour this morning but another glorious morning to be wandering the shores of Ullswater. Bits of mist here and there and very calm - unfortunately as the skies improved I had to come home
Don't know about the PPG - first go seems to have failed so I'll probably hang back a bit again and just enjoy taking the pics.
