Some sets are well well worth a second look.

Very glad Chris mentioned this and it's re-emerged

Wonderful images, thanks for linking

I particularly like the head-in-hands shot, but all are classy

Welcome Mark

It's amazing how much you can pick up just hanging around here

Look forward to seeing your photos

Three contrasting mountain-scapes with Bowfell:

1. From near Tarn Hows





2. From Crinkle Crags





3. From Eskdale






All taken while out-and-about with the 18-135, last one with polariser.

And not a # in sight

Liking the third one very much

Lucky man being up there

#2 for me

Just been back and checked the out-of-camera... and over-enthusiastic use of a field ND grad for the sky IS the problem . Need to learn how to apply them more effectively.

Thanks for the thoughts - very much appreciated

Fair point!

No direct (intentional) lightening of the water, but this effect might have come from general processing, plus I used a 3 stop ND grad in the field on the sky and this might have been overly aggressive for the conditions. I am something of a noob with regards to field use of filters.

I'll have another look at this. I don't think lightening the sky is the answer as it will lose definition.. so I might experiment with darkening (relatively) parts of the water, if you follow me. Have to try to get the balance right

Many thanks folks. Pretty much unanimous

Be interested in which one folk prefer.
