A good set Gareth. You've covered a good range of ice formations that may never be seen as such for a good few years. Well photographed as ever.

Best regards

A very good set Kris, No.1 for me also.

Shot 4 appears to fade from a colour foreground to a mono background.

I was positively fast tracked compared to your experience Mike. Hope all is going well now. Weather up in the North East still bitter cold but +1C at the moment.

Comments and well wishes appreciated. A Horatio "hernia" fix that needed sorting.

Best regards and stay warm & safe.

Incoming call yesterday afternoon: cancellation, so slot available first thing this morning.

Up at 05:30 to clear snow from car, shovel snow off front of drive. In for surgery by 08:30 and sent home by 14:30.

Sore but glad it's done. Four weeks on the sick.....I feel boredom coming on fast.

A lot of snow already.....and spring is round the corner?

Different for you Kris. As you say about the angle, it's not the norm but why should it be.

The framing is very well balanced and I like the flat line bottom edge alignment.

Good exposure considering the various light sources. Was this on a tripod or hand held?

Best regards

Great stuff Alan. Impressive indeed,

The more I use primes, the more I'm re-learning composition. I was never much good at composition and it may be due to just me or me tending to use zooms and being lazy about the shot.

So prime or zoom?

With the exception of using zooms to photograph motorcycles at shows, I'm determined to stick to primes for everything else for the foreseeable future.

I quite like this framing by feet approach and have always considered an aperture ring to be a must have.

Just bought petrol for the generator

All comments appreciated.

I did indeed Andy.

Not far off Kris.

It was Sunday David. Had a couple of hours there before moving on to Reeth.

Best regards
