The fog came down on day 2, and with it a different opportunity!

I've fallen well behind with the processing as a consequence of all the fresh air lately, so here's a start to the catch-up. A recent visit to Tyneside first, with a beautiful, clear evening. K1 + FA 28-105. Hope you enjoy these! All comments welcome.

Fascinating and well-captured. And yes, no.4 is a stand-out for me too.

Well, I don't know if it's my eyesight (could well be!), but I can't see a great deal of noise in the first place. The colours in no.2 are slightly more vibrant, though - intentionally so?

Great stuff! Haven't used my Tamron 90 for ages - these are a reminder of what a good lens it is.

Superb, every one! The tightness of composition (in most) and, as already said, the mono presentation suit the subjects brilliantly.

Thanks, all, glad you found the scenery as amazing as we did! A few more to come shortly, I hope.

Have you been on the little yellow train??.
Too many years ago to say, Vic! Though it runs much further to the Mediterranean end of the Pyrenees than the Central Pyrenees we prefer for walking these days.

My only slight criticism (just my opinion) is the size of the images - No.3 reveals so much more clarity and detail (because it is that little bit bigger)
John, I've been puzzled when you have made similar comments in the past, as I thought all photos were shown at 1000px on the longest side, so they all show pretty much the same size. So I looked back at my folder of resized/ready to post photos and eventually twigged that the resizing process I've been using (in Photoshop Elements, because it's dead easy, though I use Affinity Photo for the actual processing of the RAW files) gives 1000px on the horizontal side all the time, so a portrait-style image will look bigger on screen because the vertical sides are obviously longer than the horizontal. I'll remember that in future and see if it can be used to advantage!

A very recent trip to RHS Bridgewater, near Salford. Autumn well entrenched and most things "past their best" - but still very attractive in a different way. Hope someone agrees! All K1 + FA 28-105. All comments welcome, as always.

Just getting the processing finished from our mid-September trip. This is the Cirque de Troumouse, not the most famous, but a great walk to an amazing sight. K70 + DA 16-85mm. A few humans left in here and there for a sense of scale!
