Blow up for Stuey!


Distant Canikons

Some early morning shots taken from Rushop Edge a couple of sundays ago. I parked underneath Mam Tor in the dark and within 10 minutes three other (non Pentax, unfortunately) landscape photographers had also rolled up. They headed up Mam Tor so I decided to head in the other direction .

If you look very very closely you might just see their tiny figures on the top of Mam Tor in the first of these...


Mam Tor and the Hope Valley




The Sandinista Tree


Jim has a particularly good image of this stunted tree on his website.



And from the other direction...

Great lens. Great price.

Takes more than a good bashing to keep you down

Sorry to hear about the fall - so easy to happen - and I really hope the bumps and bruises are recovering.

Fine shot, great contrast on the cobbles.

Thanks John

Probably being thick here, but...

... has the guidance on maximum pixel sizes for the gallery here changed?

I thought it was 800 pixels for the longest edge, but most of the gallery photos now look to be bigger than this when you open them up large (a good thing!). I've noticed one of mine slipped through with 1000 pixel width, and this size looks more the norm now.

+1 to that.

I'm enjoying this thread, having ordered the Q plus zoom kit from the amazon deal. Still waiting for confirmation of when it might turn up - as it was out of stock it's showing some time between 10 dec and 5 jan. fingers crossed the deal goes through and it's here for Christmas.

Yes - lovely light here, looks like you had a good day

#3 for me - I love the pattern of light on the fields

What make of grads are you using Stu?

Very pleased you decided to post these Gwyn. As the others say, very moving set of images - I really appreciate seeing them.

Photographically , you've captured a variety of images with different styles that together tell a clear, if grim, story. I keep going back to the first one...
