Autumn Lakes Trip - lots of photos, comments good and bad welcome....

[The Dogfather]

One of the advantages of having a motorhome is that when you visit a place like the lakes you can be there first thing in the morning and late in the evening. This weekend we decided to get the dogs away from the fireworks and spent 2 nights away. The weather was perfect for photos.....

I thought I'd share, I'm really trying to get better so welcome peoples' thoughts on what works and what doesn't in these photos.

totally blown away by those pics Paul, utterly stunning mate.

[The Dogfather]

Thanks for that, I've still got a lot to learn but I know there are some experienced photographers on here who might be able to pass on some tips

All of them are absolutely stunning pics.:thumbs up::clap::clap::clap:

The two I've re-posted above stand out for me and are picture postcard quality.

Any HDR post work gone on?

A.:D

[The Dogfather]

No HDR work done i.e. as in taking two shots, however the photos were taken in RAW format and then I used aperture to process them.

I'm glad you liked the boats though as that was Jackie's shot, I think its the best photo she's ever taken.

[Gismo]

You'll be giving us advice Paul, great shots :thumbs up:

[baptie]

Great shots, looks nippy cald though!

[Gismo]

I struggle to take dark object shots, say black wheels on a bright day etc, so, good efforts all round

It was Coniston (jetty posts and birds), Derwent (the boats etc.) and the others were Buttermere. It was warm at Coniston and Derwent on the Saturday and cold first thing on the Sunday.

Thanks for the comments guys, I will keep snapping away then ;)

[cooperchris]

Some cracking pics there :thumbs up:

Keep them coming.

[N16SHP]

Really great pics there Paul. As others have said, I wouldn't appologise for any of them being all over the place as a few of them are simply top drawer!!!

[Flash_Amber]

Absolutely cracking pics, seems to be lots of talented people on this site! :thumbs up:

[Delboy]

Just got round to looking at your photos Paul - absolutely superb :thumbs up:.

I took some of Derwent Water in the summer from the same beach but they don't look as good as your's :p.

I also noticed how high the water level was in your photos compared to when I was there. The photo of my youngest son below was taken at the end of the fence in your photo below!

Yes the water level was very, very high hence the flooded jettys at both Coniston and Derwent.
