Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 131

Taken from Ribblehead station. I wanted to get this shot a couple of days ago, when I took this one, but the clouds were too uniform to be interesting. I came back for the sake of getting this shot, in the hope that the sky would do something photoworthy. Thankfully, it did.

It's a little too dark (it looks better viewed large, but I couldn't get the contrast right without blowing the sky. (I've tweaked the light on this and re-uploaded, since it looked awful when viewed on my desktop machine rather than my laptop).

Posted late again, my apologies.

Taken looking north towards the Lake District. I was using this one as a way of playing around with colourisation and filters in the Gimp. I'm not sure that it wouldn't have worked better with some sheep in the picture.

Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 26

Taken at Bull Beck, near Caton, on a bend in the Lune.

I was stood at the water's edge as I too this, having tromped through a field left insanely boggy by the floods of two weeks back.

I'm starting to long for some blue sky and decent weather so that I can venture further afield and try new things. As it is, I quite like this shot but would have liked to have changed the angle of it slightly so that it felt bigger.

It's a little too dark, I think, mostly as a result of processing, but I couldn't bring out the reflections in the water without blowing the sky completely.

Actually it's pretty short as roads go, and is in fact the driveway leading up to our house, which is on an old farm site.

This was first time the rain let up today, so I went out with the 18-55mm lens (oh for a wider angle!) and an ND grad filter and snapped this.

Cropped (I really would like a wide angle lens so that I could get the feeling that I wanted; this was as close as I could manage) and colourised in the Gimp, but otherwise untouched.
