Couple of shots taken on a PU day out in the Peaks.

We had a huge sleet storm to contend with at the start of the day and here are a couple of shots that hopefully capture the beauty of that part of the world as well as the storm.

Both shots are two RAW exposures merged in Photomax Pro 4 and then tweaked and cropped in PSE10.

They absolutely capture the beauty and atmosphere! Both are excellent, but No 1 has that extra drama as the front rolls across.

I think the layout and framing is all great. One small point on No2, I feel the brightness level on the white snow areas (near the middle of the frame in particular), are just a little high for the apparent conditions.

Remember it well

That second one really portrays the changeable weather that day. Terrific

Great shots Drew, the second one is my favourite, because of the dramatic cloud formation. I got some good ones on this same day out too!
