Wonderful, little visited corner of the Lakes

These are great Steve, carefully composed and with great colours.

Versions of shots taken during last weeks PU outing in the Peak District. This was the last location and we'd hoped for wonderful evening light caressing this fascinating old industrial landscape. Fat chance. My main memory is cowering behind a ruined wall trying to get shelter from the hail/rain with David and Neil. Nevertheless, after some relatively heavy PP...

C&C appreciated.

These are great Catherine! Nothing to be modest about. You've caught Bobby with a nice, solemn expression, captured the slimy look of those fungi really well, and the framing of the figures in #3 is really imaginative. Thanks for posting these ... Always something to learn from other folks photos

Had time to quickly process just a few:


Drew's 10-20 (thanks Andrew



Bamford Edge



Where I sloped off to at lunchtime



The very last shot of the day (even David has gone :wink




Thanks again everyone for a great day out. Terrific to catch up with friends from last year but also get to put faces to more names

Had a great day, despite the iffy weather! It wouldn't have been a proper Peak District meet without the hail

Big thanks to Drew for organising it and the locations.

I really like this.

Although I should really hesitate before C&Cing the Blythmaster...

I like them in (more or less) the reverse order they're presented.

The concept of #1 is great (repeating arcs?) but I'm not sure the balance in the composition quite works here. Too much space at the top right.

#2 is maybe a bit overcooked in the PP (colour) though this might be my monitor, and tilts left a little? Odd kinks in the strips of floor tiles as well (distortion?).

The reflection is great.. but I find the security camera a little distracting (it draws the eye a little too much compared to the reflections)... partly perhaps as it's hard up against the frame.

The Civic Centre shot is classy. Love the textures and the receding space. I think the angles work well.

Neptune is a fascinating angle and nicely composed... with great tones and colour interest.

So for me it's the last 2

Nice.

Great light on the last one

I've booked a week with the family in the lakes over easter... and this sort of stuff really whets my appetite.

Still on, I hope?

Forecast seems a bit grubby for the morning, but better for the afternoon.

+1 . Great images
