I've posted several images from around the village previously, however none contained snow, until now.

Here's a few from the past week (note the icicles dangling from the branch in the second, cold )

1 The beach

2 The river

3 Lone tree

4 Late in the day

A similar image taken hand held, earlier link

5 Snow on the pier

6 Yr Eifl

7 V-shaped valley

8 Looking towards Ireland

It's all gone now, I can now walk around without the worry of breaking glass and bones

Regards
Adrian

I'll pitch in with my tuppence worth. I have been using the Sigma 18-50 mm F2.8 EX DC Macro. I have found it to be an excellent lens with good value for money.

I'll second this, highly recommended.

I don't know if this is relevant, but I personally highly recommend the Sigma 18-50 (constant f2.8 version).

I paid £148 for mine last year off a UK member on Pentaxforum, no brainer as far as I was concerned, and certainly no regrets.

Nice work Adrian. Some of the pre-sets in LR are a good start if you then modify them to your own style.

Good idea, thanks i-Berg.

Thanks Stuey and David.

Cheers

Quite like No7 myself, although there is a bit of brightness on the far left of the horizon, just below the skyline, which is a bit distracting. All in all a nice set.

Davex.

Davex, that was the sun making a cameo appearance at the end of the day

Yes, You have to give it to number 1.. Though if no 5 had a more dramatic skyline. For me that would be the best of the bunch..A very fine effort..

I agree with your view regarding the sky in no. 5 Stuart, here's a similar one where the sun's not in the image.

+ 1 for Tim's comments - good work, impressive stuff Adrian.

Three is perhaps less sharp, and the sepia processing is arguably a bit OTT IMO.

Both 1 and 7 have strong foreground subjects that make those shots.

i-Berg, I used one of the presets in Lightroom, can't remember which one exactly. Here's a similar one in colour.

Thanks for all your comments and advice, greatly appreciated.

Regards
Adrian

Unfortunately the weather turned a bit wet for most of the walk, with the camera constantly in/out of the bag (what for WR I hear you shout :lol.

Some shots were ruined with rain drops on the filter appearing in the shots.

The light wasn't great, but did improve slightly towards the end.
