Good heavens it looks dry!  It could almost be an African vista.

It always tends to look like that this time of year as the new Bracken hasn't come through and you still have all the dead stuff everywhere, so it looks dry against the green of the trees, anyway it's had a good downpour the last couple of days so those green shoots will soon be springing up!  O0

Blencathra from Bowscale Fell - 31st May 2011

One of the things I like about this forum is the trip reports and more importantly the photos that come with them.  
Every now and then some one will post a photo and I think wow, I have to go there and see for myself. Sometimes because of my circumstances it’s not always possible to get there, which brings me to the purpose of this post.  
I would like to go to Bowscale-fell and see where Brandywell (John?) took this Photo.  
I’ve looked at the maps but there is only so much stuff that a map shows.  
So my question to anyone who has been up that way , what is the terrain like , it looks grassy in the Photo,  where is the best starting place (car parking ect), and which is the easiest route up there , when I say easiest route I mean is there a way up there without having to go over lose  scree / rocks ?.  
I have no ambitions to get to the top of Blencathra (at the moment) but would dearly love to get onto (and off) Bowscale-fell.  
And whilst I am asking, route up or down (doesn’t matter if it’s the same way up & down) but under 8 miles or so. (I’m feeling a bit wimpy at the moment)  
Many thanks for any info ………Mick

I think that is the Early Purple Orchid.

I saw those along the North Downs Way on Monday and wondered what they were, so thanks Kev.
 
The first picture was really good too, those stone gateposts really draw you into the view.

Stunnning. Personally would opt for the second one as it shows the detail more easily. Butterfly is more prominent also.

A view of Lose Hill, which is part of the Great Ridge that separates the Edale Valley from the Hope Valley in the Derbyshire Peak District. Lose Hill gets its name from the Battle of Win Hill and Lose Hill in 626. Prince Cwichelm and his father, King Cynegils of Wessex, possibly with the aid of King Penda of Mercia, gathered their forces on neighbouring Lose Hill and marched on the Northumbrians based on Win Hill. Despite their superior numbers, Wessex was defeated by the Northumbrians building a wall and rolling boulders down upon them.

Nice one Botty O0
 
I think the foreground really adds something.


Cheers Crib Goch. As soon as a saw those white flowers/weeds/whatever I knew they would make such a difference to the photo :)

Best pic of the day is a really good idea and some very impressive shots been submitted.

Here's mine - a rain storm over Brown Knoll and Swine's Back near Edale in the Peak District with, I think, Mount Famine in the backgound taken from near Pym Chair. Fortunately the rain never reached me! I've added the slightest of touches of grey graduation to the clouds but it's pretty much as it was.

Looking across to Ingleborough from Whernside, Christmas Eve 2006 - my first 'cloud inversion' - unforgettable.


One of my other favourite pics is from the same day, at the end of the walk off Whernside

I don't quite know why, and technically it's all wrong with it's washed out background (though it might not work so well without?), but I love this shot. It was almost at the full reach of my zoom lens, inside a dark barn, and it just struck me as alive somehow! Maybe even a bit lonely, given that all the other machinery was on show at a farm open day!

Pretty special  ^-^ . Just imagine standing in front of that?
Or halfway up and then on the top  O0 O0 Just gonna check how high it is on wikipedia...

The Matterhorn (German), Monte Cervino (Italian) or Mont Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennine_Alps) on the border between Switzerland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland) and Italy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy). Its summit is 4,478 metres (14,690 ft) high, making it one of the highest peaks in the Alps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alps).[2] The four steep faces, rising above the surrounding glaciers, face the four compass points


crikey that s like alomst 5 helvellyns high!

The north face was not climbed until 1931, and is amongst the six great north faces of the Alps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_north_faces_of_the_Alps). The Matterhorn is one of the deadliest peaks in the Alps: from 1865 – when it was first climbed – to 1995, 500 alpinists died on it.[4]

where s mayaculpa when you need him to lead an expedition?


May have to give this one a miss, guys and gals...

Been up on the limestone fells above Hutton Roof today - Home Park Fell and Farleton Knott and thereabouts. Got to love Limestone country and it was a lovely walk - TR in progress! Here's a top-to-bottom Pano of the view at one stage looking SE toward Ingleborough which at this resolution looks tiny! Not the greatest pano stitch, but I like the limestone and the Big Sky  :)
 
(http://i51.tinypic.com/353e1xl.jpg)
 
These fells are in N Lancashire, just to the right of the M6 as you reach Jnct 36, the Kendal and S Lakes turn-off. I've often wondered what's up there - now I know - lots of Limestone delights!

OK not quite a photo of the day, rather a vid from the top along from slioch - saving the photos for my really amazing report tomorrow! one of the more interesting facts of which is that for once while I was enjoying the weather as shown in vid on the west coast, the east coast was experiancing thunder storms, lightening and rain - I'm feel sooooo sorry for them. Also have the audio on, the total silence and just a wif of a breeze was also an added bonus - I went today cause tomorrow is forcasted gale winds, cloud down to 500m and lashings of rain!

I didnt realise Sky had such big mountains


Catbells, thanks for your comments. Skye has probably the most challenging mountains in the UK. I hope to do the Cuillin traverse before I drop off this mortal coil.
The pic was taken on my walk to Oransay earlier this afternoon when the sun shone briefly.
Enjoy....

I saw this pic today, it was posted on a public Brecon Beacons page on Facebook so hope its ok to put it on here  :-\ . My favourite approach to my favourite steep place (Cribyn) is in the foreground, with Pen Y Fan and Corn Du behind.  The pic was focused on Corn Du so no apologies for Pen Y Fan not having pride of place here. It's taken from a quite  unusual angle and I loved it. I'm sure if Big Tasty sees this, it will bring back nightmares for her, the poor thing. She walked this with me back in July ...

Another wonderful panoramic of the moray countryside, this time above cromdale near to the old pipers stone laid in remembrance to a piper who shone the light and gave his comrades courage during a battle that happened nearby - apparently he's still around some days when the wind howls appearing beside unsuspecting walkers luring them to where he died amidst his mates.

Cheers Rich - many of the photos I take are just a record of the walk, but as we don't do particularly long walks I often spend a little more time 'on location' to look for the odd good shot. I do tend to keep some of these off Picasa though as the Picasa albums are normally there for a record of a trip, and not really for 'arty' purposes.

I took this one a week and a half ago, and whilst the subject doesn't hold a great deal of interest, the polarizing lens I had on the camera really brought out the colours and the contrast between the different colours and textures. The photos is as it was taken apart from having sharpened it slightly as it was a little 'soft'

Polarisers are great for that. They also help reduce glare off water and other shiny surfaces...really must get round to replacing my broken one...

Hmmm does this have to be days out in the hills?


If not I went to Brighton to enjoy the Oct Sunshine (approx 27 degrees). Anyhow we had our lunch sitting outside a Mexican restaurant listening to some lovely atmospheric beats and watching people spin on there heads making moves for what I later learnt was Brazilian Capoeira. Really felt like we were on our holidays

Whilst not the most artistic, and not a great deal of 'interest' in the shot I like this one I took down Edale on Saturday - taken from Rushup Edge, as it's simple but shows Edale in it's beautiful glory. It was taken early afternoon so the light is not at it's best, but still nice in my opinion.

A disappointing sun rise followed by the dramatic clearing of the fomerly clouded over sky led to this shot pointing to the south of Mam Tor in the Peak District to a small hill that I believe is called Middle Hill.
I placed most of the frame over the sky to try and portray just how big the sky was that morning. I should maybe of used my ultra wide lens but the whole thing was changing so rapidly this was a bit snatched at.
I hope you like

Thanks for that advice, fleegle, if anyonelse wants to try it it would be well to go prepared with some water proofing for the camera, I took two shots whilst behind the waterfall and landed up using most of the tissues we carry mopping up.

One of the great things about photography is, you can experiment. Particularly with digital photography, because you can shoot away and view on the computer at no real cost, other than time....     :D
 
I love experimenting. Yes, I have a lot of flops (there would be something wrong if I didn't), but by making a note of what you've done, you can perfect the shot...    O0

This was my best pic yesterday, alongside the Severnway, near Shrewsbury, there used to be the visible remains of this fish weir. I grew up near here and we always called it the Salmon Trap. Yesterday I spent the afternoon in the county archives, taking photo's for another project, of old maps on the micro-fiche. Focus not too good but the images are a useful record.
 
Then I stumbled across this map of the old fish weir almost as it might have been, when it was being used to trap fish on the river Severn around 1880.
 
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/barewirewalker/mapfishweir.jpg)
 
In the tenancy agreement of the farm that my great grandfather signed there was an agreement that he would not feed Salmon to his men more than 3 times a week and I think this structure had something to do with that rather strange codicil in a farm tenancy agreement.
 
Can anyone suggest a way that I can reverse the black & white, I have Photoshop elements but have failed to figure out a way to do it.
 
This morning the light on the river was beautiful, not by any means my best photo as it was taken at the limits of the telephoto capacity of my camera but it shows an image of what, I think, access is all about.
 
The canoueist had just launched on my side of the river, but his dog had run over the footbridge above to the other side.

Had a great day on the fannaichs and a long one, made it out with 1/2 hour to spare before lights out.
 
First photo is of a waterfall I found on the way out, plus click here (http://www.mtn-m.co.uk/web components/fiannachs/panoramic from fannaichs) to see a panoramic of the torridons and an teallach under those storm clouds that were forcasted and did stay away from me for most of the day, as forcasted.

I believe that's the lookout by St Peter's Chappel.  This has been one my most favourite Essex walks for many years now.  I like to go there to get away from it all and clear my mind when life is getting just a little too mad.

Tell me about it Howie. I missed the best though at Llyn Dinas as we drove straight passed gobbed smacked and nearly crashed looking at the reflections and colours. I did get a couple from the top end but what a fantastic atmospheric place. Not a ripple on the waters and not a person in sight all the way from beddgelert to the pen y pass road. If only you could bottle these things up O0

Loads of snow, at some points where it had drifted it was waste deep! Had to put my camera away after Fan Hir as it snowed the rest of the day and was very windy :( No views to the lake sadly, but was nice to sit down by the shore out of the wind for a few minutes.

From the same walk. Would not, for a moment call this a 'best pic'. No time to setup (train was moving as i walked up the footpath), sun behind subject, camera phone. But still posting it anyway. Gives me an excuse to go back and try again! Good spot to hang around as the trains all stop there before changing direction on the 1/2 mile track. The signal box is right there too.

Underneath of Chappel viaduct (railway bridge) while out hiking.

(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7171/6608017521_4f7d87d10f_b.jpg)
From Wiki:
Quote
The Chappel viaduct is 1,066 feet (325 m) long, has 32 arches of 30 feet (9 m) span and its maximum height is 75 feet (23 m). It currently takes the Marks Tey to Sudbury branch line, which connects regularly with trains to and from London's Liverpool Street Station.
The large number of construction workers needed for the project were housed, many with their families, in temporary huts built on Wakes Colne Green. Although some 5 or 6 million bricks are reckoned to have been used, the piers were hollow to save money and reduce weight. A further remarkable feature of the viaduct is that it is built on a gradient - the Sudbury end is 9.5 feet (2.9 m) higher than the Marks Tey end. According to William White’s History, Gazetteer and Directory of the County of Essex, 1848, the first stone was laid in September 1847. The viaduct took two years to build, and [COLOR="Blue"]is thought to be the second largest brick-built structure in England[/COLOR].
The first passenger train to Sudbury, carrying an official party from Colchester, ran on 2 July 1849.

Perfect remedy for a sore head - or perhaps not, but I decided to go on a short local walk anyway. These two are of a waterfall above aberlour, just above the brewery whose potent sweet hops smell seemed remarkibly soothing to the odd brain.

unfortunatly the background is alittle shaky on this one - really need to get a tripod, using the small bean bag is no good in many instances.

One from last night which I've finally finished through editing. slight wobbles with the streetlights given the wind gusts up on the hill where I was photographing, but netherless it's a shame we won't be seeing fireworks here (outside of anything organised for the Queens Jubilee/Olympics) for 11 months.

Only a small display, so it's not quite on par with the 5 Nov images I got in 2011. Still makes for some good practise.

This Buzzard was 130 meters away in a tree so I was pleased with the results from my bridge camera. I do have an old SLR but my 300mm Zoom lens would never be able to get this close.

Some great pictures have been posted, just to bring down the bar a few pegs;
 
I thought I would take a short cut round this village, climbed a gate walked across a field and found a ditch I could not cross. Thought I take a photo to make it look like I had gone there for a purpose, before retracing my steps with my tail between my legs, looked up and bang;

one of 155 piccies I took today on a short walk along the coast near findochity in moray. Wild sea's and western winds enabled the high tide to blow up quite a few exciting gusts of spray between the rugged rocks. managed to get soaked as well while walking on the harbour by a freak wave - soaked me and the camera, so have to buy more baby wipes.

mt.Snowdon as seen from Whaley Moor (Feb 19th). Taken 15 minutes before sunset and in excellent visibility, all that was required was a map&compass to spot it above the horizon. My glasses, and a bit of GIMP tweaking to bring out the contrast.

mt.Snowdon is give or take 97miles from Whaley Moor, excellent vista's all across the Cheshire Plain and northern Pennines today.

I took these in a local beauty spot known as Tigers Clough. Its proper name is Shaw's Clough, and the top part of it was once a public park (Shaw's Park). About 100yr ago though the clough contained a bleach works and an unliceced pub nearby. The owner of the pub obviously wasn't too concerned about officers of the law paying him an official visit, because he even went to the trouble of having a sign erected outside that showed a picture of two tiger cubs. And that's how the clough got its local name.

Tracey, I think I do   ;)  and yes, I love the seaside, just as much as I love the open countryside. One day, I will do one or more of these coastal paths. I've done little bits over the years, but that is usually when I've been on holiday with the family and TBH, its been too warm to do a full trek.
 
I suppose one of my favourite afternoon strolls in North Wales, Conwy Mountain, Penmaenbach and Alltwen, is almost a coastal path. Its virtually on the coast (only the A55 Holyhead Road between that and the sea) and provides lovely views, not just down theConwy valley, but also across the Irish Sea.
 
But one day, I will.    O0

Thanks Fleegle, it took a bit of photo shop to make the original closer to what I saw when I took the picture.
 
Beechcombing is quite skillfull walking, especially where you take a risk with that terrain that is only available at low tide and in some places the potential areas can lead to very long walks.
 
As a one time rock climber I suppose the horizontal rockface holds a nostalgic fascination, but I have also had a 7 mile walk out on tidal sand that has equalled any of my high level walks for visual excitement, it is just a bit more difficult capture photograhically.

Walked into town a couple of days ago and noticed how the signals and clock tower would fit into the frame together from a certain angle, seemed to suggest Time and Motion.
 
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/barewirewalker/timeandmotion.jpg)
 
Unfortunately there was a nasty modern lamp post stuck up in front of the signals, so I took two shots about two yards apart.
 
I made two layers in photo shop and rubbed out the lamp post, hasn't worked out too badly as I took the shots hand held.
 
Also the sky was rather plain so I pinched one out of landscape I took out in the country a week ago. Helps perk up urban living a bit.

The Breiddens on the Powys border of Shropshire, taken from a route between Kinnerley and Nescliffe. The light is just showing the saddle leading into and between Middletown hill (lt) and Rodney's Pillar to the right, this is IMO the key to turning the Breiddens into some really good routes. The view is looking across the flood plain of the River Severn.

I managed to finish work early today, so Mrs F and I took a stroll around Baddesley Clinton, a local National Trust property.
 
While wondering around the walled garden there was a robin, singing his head off on the barn gable end.

Not exactly best photo of the day - definitely a disturbing one.  I planned a zig-zag route through one of the forest areas in Cannock Chase as the walking partner likes to see deer and we caught quite a few in forest areas the last time.  Seems like the loggers got there first - very sad to see acres & acres of nothing  :( .  Cant figure out why they left the odd trunk in the ground  :-\

We visited Northern Ireland Last weekend.  Our hosts aren't walkers, but appreciating that we are outdoorsy folk, on Saturday, they took us outdoors.  We had a drive along the North East Coast of Ireland and then visited Kinbane Castle:

Another photo from our visit to Northern Ireland.  We didn't go walking, more clambering.  This picture shows Slieve Donard,the highest mountain in NI, and one of the Mourne Mountain Range in the background.

Bloody Bridge, near Newcastle, NI, is the start of a walk up to Slieve Donard if you're interested.  Wonderful landscape and scenery, but we didn't get to the top.........  this time.

I like it. The subject suits the fish-eyed effect, did you use a lens or was it software afterwards to create the effect.


So often when trying to put together a slide show that captures the atmosphere of a walk it is pictures like this that convey more of the experience than broad landscapes.

From Darkness into Light

Man vs Nature

(http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/Dazzauk_bucket/Best%20ofthe%20day/Con-OldMan_151.jpg)


The first two are from a walk around Loughrigg Fell, recommended by Rambling Pete and strongly recommended by yours truly as well. 1st is Rydal Cave, second is some steeping stones near the fell.

Final one is the remnants of many of the mining buildings on Coniston Old Man. A revisit via Dow Crag, and a very welcome one.

The clumps are probably Mistletoe. It's a parasite which grows on trees.

Wow, why the slump? Your pictures are always looked forward to on here. I've been on my last few walks without a camera because my compact gave up and started shooting video without me asking it to, and I can't be bothered to carry the bigger one. I tend to prefer concentrating on looking at what's around me with my own eyes, but I regret not having at least a few pics to look at later.

Not entirely sure why. I've been taking photos when I've been out (and been taking what I think are good photos), but, I've not felt like going out for the sake of taking photographs for a while. It's certainly been sometime since I've felt like packing an SLR and bits into a rucksack and gone wandering along a fairly deserted beach under a stormy looking sky in search of photos for example.


Always nice to know other appreciate the pictures.

Millie....looking not too impressed being plonked on the trig point of Garn Fadryn, llyn peninsula!

This one did make me smile.
 
I don't think I'd be too impressed just being plonked there though...    :D

Thanks Paul  :)  I've only approached A.Castles via Lockerbrook/Rowlee Pasture.  After the initial (fairly short) steady climb to begin with, it's easy going along Rowlee Pasture all the way to the Castles.

Thanks Tracey and everyone else. That puffin was clearly after a modelling fee; he stood on a rock about 6 feet from all the long lenses, just sitting there taking direction!

This one was much harder to get; they don't hang about once they're in the air!

Puffins, my favourite  :smitten:

I was reading this article about fake wildlife photographs where any body can go to a game farm and hire an animal e.g a wolf to pose against a suitable backdrop. Seems like cheating to me

Yes yours are obviously are real and great shots, your mention of modelling fee reminded me of that article. These fake shots crop up in wildlife calendars and competitions where I think they should have to declare what they've been up to.

If so, thanks :). It was taken from about 2m away using a Sony SLT A65, with Sigma 70 to 300mm zoom in macro mode and at 300mm.

Is it Stitchwort, it shows a lot of white in along hedgerows now that field herbicide spraying has become more precise, quite a favorite of mine when it first shows at the beginning of summer before the more rampant summer growth of later flowers break it up and overpower its impact. A lovely combination with bluebells.

I wonder what is acceptable, I am looking for a shot of a kingfisher in flight taken from above. I would like to recreate a moment, some few years ago, when Mrs BWW and were sitting on a river bank with our feet dangling about 4 feet above the surface of the water, when a kingfisher flew right under the soles of a boots.


A momentary glimpse that would have been impossible to capture, but could be recreated in Photoshop. Just need the king fisher shot, still got the boots and legs and I know where the river bank is.

Splendid photos. It’s interesting alright how people use photoshop to make their pictures look great but I find it more amazing how others detect those are just a product of photoshop creations. It’s a person’s skill to easily detect fraud I guess because of today’s technology it’s extremely difficult to find out real vs fake pictures without the use of any sophisticated software to analyze or view the information.
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: SouthDowns on 13:25:37, 17/07/12
I think it depends on what the image is for, and, again depending on what it's for, the degree of Photoshopping that's done. I have plenty of Photoshopped images in my "portfolio" (ooh, get me!), but would never claim any of those were real.

ALL of the following are perfectly valid:

- An image almost entirely created in photoshop as a piece of art.
- An image enhanced to better convey the feeling the photographer was trying to communicate (you'd be amazed how much just changing the temperature tint of an image can change its feel).
- A completely untouched image used to record a fact.
- A completely untouched image used to demonstrate the photographer's skill with the camera.
- A heavily re-touched image used to demonstrate the photographer's skill with Photoshop.
- An image re-touched to remove a distraction, such as the tourists who refused to move out of the waterfall you were trying to photograph.

About the only thing that's NOT acceptable is claiming an image is what you saw when it's not.

Images have ALWAYS been manipulated, whether in processing, or with filters, or with differing camera settings. The only thing that's changed is the technology used to do it.

My flying puffin shot above is re-touched to remove some other distracting birds; you can't direct birds, and a painter would have simply left them out, so I see nothing wrong with that; it doesn't change the truth of the picture, just makes it nicer to look at.

This one is also re-touched, but it doesn't matter because there's no suggestion it's true; it's ALL about the end result. Can you spot the false bits? ;) :

(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7123/6952833342_689ce9616e_b.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/southdownspics/6952833342/)
W16 - Pride 3.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/southdownspics/6952833342/) by MarkBerry1963 (http://www.flickr.com/people/southdownspics/), on Flickr

By the way, that one is in some ways MORE real than any of the 5 shots that go to make it up, because it tells you what happened over a matter of minutes in a way that an untouched photo never could. It's like a film all compressed into one frame :). It also took more camera skill/knowledge than one that wasn't intended for Photoshop, because in order for it to work I had to pay attention to much more than I normally would.

Lynne, you should have hung around later in the day. I was on mi way, about 6pm'ish, back to Horton from Ingleborough and got caught in a thunderstorm. 1.1/4 hours of  hail and torrential rain - was a tad damp  :)   Other than that though, not a bad day to be out (by the way, I was on Pen y Ghent about 830am). Prior to the thunderstorm there were some glorious rainbows on show.

Took this on a recent Wild Camp at Hard Tarn (my first wild camp!) - it was an ambition of mine to see a sun rise from way up high - and this way taken from Nethermost Pike in the Lake District - just above Hard Tarn

Thanks Sunnydale & Tracey :-)


I only come across this forum today and made a couple of posts and it's great to get some instant feedback. I guess I'm a relatively in-experienced walker compared to a lot of people on here - but I've been into photography for yonks. I'll be sure to use this forum to share, what i hope to be a lot of walking experiences in future, here's one more pic :-) (From haystacks in the lake district)

@ SunnySpey side - so guessing you live in Northumberland? That is one part of the country I would love to explore further - I always tend to head for the Lake District or North Yorkshire Dales for my walks (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/) - any top 3 recommendations for walks in your part of the world?


And as this is a thread about Best Pics - below is one of my favourite from the winter just gone. Grisedale Tarn - luckily on an 8hour walk the sunlight popped out for about 30 seconds and I was just climbing up Dollywagon Pike when it did :-) It was my first proper walk in the snow and where better to go than Helvellyn?


(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3tmWEoflEwg/T1D9kRVJ5SI/AAAAAAAAAM8/cU_EQjv0cyY/s1600/DSC01526.jpg)

I documented the full walk on my blog for anyone interested:

That's a good pic! Imposing range eh. My photos pale in significance to what you see with the eye - for me the best thing (and most important) is that you get to see these sights in person - if you manage to get a photo or 2 out of it - then bonus! :-) Glad you enjoyed your walk

One F we did go to the lovely Mellon Udrigle, I think it's the most beautiful beach I've ever been on. It was a blue sky day and the view to Assynt coupled with the white sand was wow. Here's a piccy although couldn't seem to get a good one because of the light.

Looks good enough to me - certainly a lot better than mine. Like yourself, I thought it was the best beach I had seen and the views were just spectacular. I would like to go back one day (well ok, night), when there is an aurora. If you haven't already, have a look at http://www.nafirchlis.co.uk/aurora.htm (http://www.nafirchlis.co.uk/aurora.htm)  :)

nice pics @dizzy

reminds me of a few years ago when I was up on the outer hebrides - isle of lewis/harris - the beaches I seen on Harris (scarista etc) were quite similar/spectacular - white sands, turquoise seas, hills in the distance, fortunately when I was there the sun came out and though a bit chilly - it looked awesome - the only sea/landscapes I've seen that are similar were in Thailand! Scotland definiately has some amazing remote beaches - hopefully one day I'll get to go back to those islands...

just went through my archives - pic below is on Isle of Harris - beach called Traigh Luskentyre

Lovely pics , I have never been there at all, but the picture brings back several memories for me. Firstly of a lovely week holiday at Saundersfoot and Tenby with a ex girlfriend, with Beach walking alot.
While at the same time reminding me of Morecambe bay seafront on a sunny day when you can see across to the hills and the lakes.

We had a fantastic day, the air was so clear we could see over to Simon's Seat, (over 10 miles away),  from where we were up near Clapham High Mark, near Malham Tarn.  Awesome

One F led the way and came up with a cracking walk which I thoroughly enjoyed.  The Dales under blue skies.  Brilliant!  http://dittzzy.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/malham-tarn-to-arncliffe.htm (http://dittzzy.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/malham-tarn-to-arncliffe.html)

Ok I have no idea how to do quotes and so in no particular order.....

Wildcamper....lovely pic of Laskentyre. I have looked at photos of this place before and would love to go there but I have boat phobia! We were looking straight across to Harris and Lewis from where we were staying and they looked so inviting.

Jim-thanks :) . Nice to hear from you, hope you are ok and life is treating you well O0

Sparklebug-lovely Lemur pics! We went to Blackbrook zoo a couple of weeks ago and spent ages watching these, they are funny :)

Dittzzy the second pic makes me want to be there, how nice it's been to have some sunny weather.

I'm not allowed to post the link for full size, but it's pretty nice, you can take my word for it :-)


That's something I've always loved about the mountains - I'm not a photographer, but due to the sheer beauty of the surroundings, any point and click shot turns out good.

@Tryfan - simply awesome! I'd been asking elsewhere on this forum about cloud inversions and how to forecast them - as it is on my bucket list to witness such a thing as what you photographed.

@havenchris @glyno - absolutely amazing pics - wow!


Something a little different from me - I was walking on the Cleveland Way to the Wainstones, North York Moors (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/wainstones-north-york-moors.html) on saturday - the heather was in full bloom - and makes for a pretty unique landscape - a change from my usual walks in the lake District

Thanks all :) Just went for a walk in the sun really - didn't expect the moors to be so beautiful or get any photos - the heather is what makes it.


@sparklebug - I guess I'm just a lucky walker really - although the places I choose to walk are normally because I've made a note of them because I've seen photos - so tend to walk to photogenic places...


I'm off to scotland this weekend to climb Ben Nevis (trip been booked in a while) - and it looks like the only photos I'll get will be of rain & grey clouds! never climbed Ben Nevis before so will be good just to stand on top of it! Although probably won't see anything from the peak :-( Fingers crossed though

@sparklebug


just dropping by to post my fave pic from the weekend in scotland - it was infact from the drive through Glencoe, of the 3 sisters of Glencoe (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/ben-nevis-walk.html). The drive from glasgow, via Loch Lomond, the Highlands, then Glencoe to Fort William is one of the most scenic & wild ones i've ever done. I recommend this in itself. I do plan to return to Glencoe in the near future , with a potential wild camp in the Lost Valley of Glencoe. Google the lost valley if you haven't come across it - looks like a canny adventure :-)


Fortunately it was dry on saturday for the Ben Nevis walk - wet the day before/after - so fairly lucky, However no views from the summit (Im told you cant see from teh summit on 9 out of 10 days - so got to be lukcy with that!). I did get some decent pics on the ascent though - which i'll post on my blog in the next few days.

It was only really my second walking trip to scotland. the first being to visit the Outer Hebrides (Lewis/harris etc), from what i coudl gather from other peoples opinions - Glencoe is regarded as perhaps the best Glen to visit - and that's where I will be heading back too!

'Glencoe is regarded as perhaps the best Glen to visit - and that's where I will be heading back too!
Great photo of the atmospheric Glen - but for dramatic scenery you ought to head  a bit further north for An Teallach and the Great Wilderness of Shenavall  O0 Plenty of space for wild camping there.

Sunday I walked up Hartsop Dodd, I was shocked at how clear a day it was considering it's October. Dragged all kinds of warm clothes around with me and spent the day in my t-shirt. I did take a couple of pics but this is my favourite, it's only on my phone but I am determined Santa will be bringing me a camera. I'm writing to him now.

Some stunning pics here since my last visit (for some reason though I'm not getting email notifications now when people post on this thread...will have to check my settings)  :P


I was up in Northumberland over the weekend, and I've just done my first short walk on Hadrian's Wall. I know my hands should be slapped for taking so long to visit the place! :) 
My time was limited so I wanted to do the best walk with the best views (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/best-hadrians-wall-walk-views.html). From what I could gather the best route is from Windshields to Housesteads (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/best-hadrians-wall-walk-views.html), so that's where I went! I gather it's the most popular route - so seasoned walkers on here will know it well - and there is no shortage of photos of this area - but I had to visit the place and get my camera out and take some pics myself :-)I've tried to capture some of the best views of Hadrian's Wall (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/best-hadrians-wall-walk-views.html) below!


If you haven't been to Hadrian's Wall I  highly recommended this section of the wall and it's a good one to do if your time is limited in this area. You can find out more on my blog, which has lots of pictures, route descriptions and map. Check out http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/best-hadrians-wall-walk-views.html (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/best-hadrians-wall-walk-views.html)

I know this is generally for more scenic pictures but I wasn't sure where to post it.
I walk to work everyday as I live very close, I have to cut through a park and they have put a new art work in ... not sure how long it will last but this is it. I do think it's a lovely bonus to my walk though.

that's very unusual D&B... is taken somewhere north Liverpool-ish?


I recognise that v. high building on the waterfront to the left

Glyno it was taken in Everton Park.
It's not a very fancy park but it gives you a fantastic view of the city and the waterfront. It's really beautiful at night too when it is lit up.

And a good view of Wales / Snowdonia from Everton park especially if there is snow on the hills , spent many a lunch time in the park yearning to be over there  O0

I love the view from the park and would often sit and admire the view, now I walk through every day I have sometimes forgotten just how great it is. After a crap day at work it often uplifts my mood and makes me realise things are not so bad.

This pic is from Alison Baskerville, she was commissioned by the Royal British Legion to take photo's of Female troops in Afghanistan. I love this picture of Lance Corporal Rachael Clayton. I think to me it shows a very feminine form in a very alien background.

Bit of a sucker for lumps of old iron lying around the countryside;

However this a rather special plough and probably quite rare, two furrow semi-digger plough bodies with mechanical self lifting, shown by the lugs on the land wheel.

Took this on the walk above Swallow Falls near Betws Y Coed this week - I've increased the saturation as the light was very flat and the camera didn't bring out the colour of the leaves, but it's just one of this simple shots that I really like. It was handheld and taken on my wife's compact camera as I left the DSLR at the cottage.

Just posting a few pics I've took recently while out and about in Yorkshire over Autumn....


Beginning with Staithes at dusk last saturday:

I like them all.  I used to work on top of Sutton Bank (a long time ago), in the gliding club.  Never took advantage of being up there then, too busy working and running a family.  Different now though, and I really enjoyed my walk around that way.  O0 O0

Cheers All


@yorksgal - will have to try that walk from staithes to whitby sometime


@dittzzy - yeh you see lots of gliders taking off from the top of sutton bank - i always think the views must be incredible - and being pretty silent I imagine a glider to be a more enjoyable experience than a plane - saying that i think it would still be hard to get me on one!  :P

Looking towards Caradoc and the Lawley, Shropshire from Lodge Hill, in the Causeway Wood. I never knew that there was a way up until we followed a trail made by the hunt up onto an over grown ridge yesterday evening.



(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/barewirewalker/fromlodgehill.jpg)


This is from a position I never thought that I could get to and this view looks along a possible linear route continuing south along Hoars edge, even if there are a few gaps in the little dotted green lines.

Wasn't having a dig.  It's just I live just across the Tamar and I don't think I've seen the sun since before Christmas.
Every time the forecast picks up a bit the next one comes along and wrecks it again.  Still misty and grey this morning.  :-[

been using my new timelapse cam today to get all the birds on the garden feeder today. There were quite a few before I set it up, robins, starlings, sparrows, collard dove, blue & great tits and a blackbird & wren picking up the pieces of the floor. A different story after I set it up though!! Just this Robin in 90 minutes!!! There was quite a lot of seeds in the basket where the robin is stood but that soon went ::)

Nicely composed picture Caroline, great to get a castle with foreground so dominant, sort of angle film makers send their researchers out to find.


I like the 3rd picture Tomasz, very evocative of the Carneddau, plenty of depth to show how those cutting winds scour across the land, over the N Wales coast and from the Irish Sea.


Shame you did not post all your photos as a TR in the Wales section, your wild camp during this spell of snow will get a bit lost in this Topic.


Perhaps not so dramatic;

If you will forgive a bit of doctoring, not with photoshop but some free software, GIMP, I think this has some of what others saw in your photo. A bit overdone perhaps, but I think the sun was on the castle.

Point and shoot is mostly what I do, because I am out primarily to walk, but it is interesting what secrets a quick shot can hold.

Interesting thought just popped in to my mind,  and I am not being negative or attacking anyone.   But that picture is almost pastel colours in quality. With a feel that you could change the whole picture in to Art work done with pastle/crayons..


Do you get what I am meaning? :)
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: barewirewalker on 16:00:50, 24/01/13
I was probably a bit heavy handed with the level settings in the sky in particular.
there are adjustments aimed at posterizing, which I believe means exactly what you are saying about turning into a crayon type drawing.


Some times the camera tends to average out, and a bit of PS type of adjustment can claw back a bit of what you actually saw, or else you can totally alter the picture or wreck it if you didn't save the original ::)

Yes i see what you mean it just makes you feel you can create your own pastel pictures from your photos, could sell signed copies then  ;D ;)   But no one would buy them ::)

If you will forgive a bit of doctoring, not with photoshop but some free software, GIMP, I think this has some of what others saw in your photo. A bit overdone perhaps, but I think the sun was on the castle.

Point and shoot is mostly what I do, because I am out primarily to walk, but it is interesting what secrets a quick shot can hold.

Very nice BWW  ;)

Lee, I just liked the way the trees framed the barn.  The fact that there was no snow on the barn walls just made it stand out a bit more I guess, although I didn't really consider that at the time.

Cracking pic. Actually looks at a glance that its been edited to look that way. And i`am not suggesting thats the case for a second O0 O0  lol. Just that youve captured "that look" spot on Like they do on xmas cards. A snowy scene , but a flawaless deer stood nibbling brambles right in the middle of a white out. Intended or not cracking pic. I`am looking forward to learning more about posting pics on here, as i quite like my that aspect of been out & about..

Definitely a Hare spent many hours in my youth tracking hares, as to the cloven hoof, in countryside folklore the hare has had some pretty dubious connections with the left hand side of superstition.

No, it is the old Manor house near Rhodes Woods.  So expensive to run these days, so long time back split into apartments. I have fond childhood memories of sitting on a piece of cardboard shooting down the hill and praying you stopped before you got to the Irk River. If you could not afford cardboard you used a big sheet of plastic, mind you any bumps hurt your bum :D :)

Thanks, it took the foreground to concentrate on the snowy scene, I took a couple of dozen of the landscape in general and they sadly looked rather plain when downloaded from my camera.


Looking back through the batch from yesterdays walk I edited this out of a more general overall shot that Mrs BWW drew my attention too.

Took my camera to work with me yesterday and had a little walk around Wakefield Cathedral, then when I got home at 9:30pm last night I spent half an hour or so loading them up and adding a few effects. I had to use a high ISO in the Cathedral due to the shots being handheld - and here are a few of my favourites.

I use Google Picasa as my organizer/editor/uploader etc etc. Normally I load the photos onto the PC, open up Picasa and then crop/adjust the photos if I'm in the mood. Obviously there are lots of applications out there now which do something similar. A lot of the time I simply upload without any editing, but due to the nature of the shots I took yesterday I randomly picked some out and applied the effects. As it was done through Picasa I don't change the originals so they are safe on my PC O0
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: barewirewalker on 14:12:05, 31/03/13
Well knock me down with a feather, I thought you were using something more powerful. O0


I bought my first digital camera when they were giving free editing software with the camera, got an early edition of Photoshop Elements, but when my computer expired on me last April, the PS software went with it as I managed to loose the licence no. Now I use GIMP free editing software downloaded straight of the internet.


Loads of free tutorials out there, great for editing maps as well as photos.
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: botty on 17:14:36, 31/03/13
It's amazing now how much free stuff there is out there that does 75% of what you can do with the likes of Photoshop, but in 10% of the time. That said, if there's an image that I really love then I'll use a RAW copy and use the Canon Software that came with the camera.

As I took a shot across lake Vyrnwy yesterday two geese swam into frame;


(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/barewirewalker/IMG_2041_zps948c221b.jpg)


I heard the one say,"Look across to Pont Eunant, you can see Aran Benllynn"


The other goose said. "No that is Aran Fawddwy".


So I thought I will check it on the map at home, I think the second goose is right. Then the other goose said,"You know there is a guy taking photos of us behind in the bushes."


The other said, "The water is so smooth I bet he is shooting reflections, lets stir up some ripples"

So I had to go and photograph some footsteps in the snow.






And climbed to the top of Pystyll Rhydd y Meinciau.

Yes, still here bww...... although I'm sure some would prefer if I had followed the Exodus from here. But I'm still in contact with them and walk with them when possible.
 
As for the definitive map !!!
 
I'm devising some routes through Kent and obviously trying to keep off the tarmac. There are a few areas where I'm finding that difficult due to lack of ROW's.  >:(
However, I can't complain as we do have 4200 miles of footpaths that I can walk.  :)

TUT TUT.....!! I would, 4200 miles of well signposted, furnished footpaths are what your councils are obliged to provide, only 4200 miles of access are an affront to your civil liberties.

We do ok ........
In Kent we have 2,075 hectares of open access designated land and 111 registered commons. In addition, the Forestry Commission has dedicated all of its freehold estate woodlands as open country and the right of access applies to these areas too. And Kent is leading the way to opening up the coast line around the whole of the UK. At the moment about 30% of the coast is not accessible...... that HAS to change !!!  But given time I am sure it will change so we have 100% !!
 
 
But what still amazes me how many ROW footpaths I come across that don't get much use !!

Thanks Barewalker. Yes, it is Fort Bovisand, just slightly on from the Yealm - just round the corner  O0


The sea texture was so jammy to be honest. It's after sunset, getting dark. I think at that point it was about 2-3 minutes. I got some fantastic ones later on. Perhaps I will pop a link up later. After dark it was rather ethereal.  :angel:

Nice pic of the fort.  If you didn't know it's actually owned by the ex chairman of the BBC.  Recently they got some lottery money to look at doing it up as a historic attraction.  Most of the upper fort, the bottom row by the quay (out of shot0) and the emplacements you can see here will become flats, if it happens.
The quay itself is worth a bimble if you have ten minutes and not been down there before.

was this a snap or did you change the shutter speed to try and get an 'effect'? - the water seems slightly 'smokey' in nature?

Hi MMJ. This was set to f18 and because it was dark at this point, as in the naked eye was having trouble with picking features out, there was a 2-3 minute exposure - which causes the smokiness. So, yes the shutter speed is altered - it is a lot longer -  because it has to try and 'expose' the picture - hence the timing for the exposure is so long. You can see that the sun has set in the background. I love the fact that the breakwater beacon is in the photo. I wasn't using filters at this point.


I hope that has been explained properly  :-\

Walking off Jerico Hill(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/barewirewalker/sunsetjericohill1439_zps7dd1fb87.jpg)
Jerico Hill forms the north east skyline, that is the backdrop to Llyfyllin.


This is an area for the connoisseur of walks with a very high quality of way, but this does not mean that the walking will be well signposted along prepared pathways, but rather the routes are there for the walker to search out and find. This is Barewirewalking country, barbed wire and sheep netting should be considered seasoning to spice the walking appetite, rather than a nasty taste, definitely an acquired taste.


But the very high concentration of RoW per grid squares in a concentration of contour lines fits in to the history and geography of this fascinating area.

This shot is of Amicombe Brook looking towards Fur Tor on Dartmoor.

Is was sunny all the way to the Bagga Tor where I parked and became cloudy within a few minutes of me starting the walk - typical!

The sun did come out again for the last 30 minutes of the walk and the drive back - is it me?

It is an unusual year in many respects, we went out to find a blue bell walk and walked 5 miles though dale and dingle and the predominance was Wood Anemonies. How often are these lovely flowers at their best at the same time as the bluebells. Also the Wood Sorrel is around and flowering at the same time. I gave up on a Bluebell walk, we had had five miles of Wood Anemones in profusion, woods carpeted with them, lanes lined with them;

A good deal taller than the usual Cuckoo flower and the colour's so much more vivid. Originally introduced from Europe as a garden species but is now fairly common in the wild.

I must make more of an effort to come in here and try to contribute, there are some lovely shots.
Snapped this one while out on a local walk a while ago: the detail of the wings is what caught my eye and how it was collecting the pollen and storing it before flying off.

Thank you, the Bee was very cooperative and stayed still for quite a while O0
It's true what they say, its not always about the equipment you use it the person behind it, this was taken with a point and shoot (OK a good quality one) I have professional standard camera's for my when I had my business. But the standard of point and shoots and especially the range of Bridge Cameras is excellent. There was a professional photographer in London tat won a Ł3000 prize a few years go, she has multiple of thousends of ŁŁ of camera equipment, but used a point and shoot.

I have just returned from staying a week near Lampeter in Mid-Wales. On our first day there I walked without a map following waymarks, as these petered out and not being too fussy about checking the other side of the posts I followed a trail of bootprints and high energy bar packets, until this this trail vaporised, hopefully the anti-litter Dalek's were out exterminating this particular sub species of Homo Pratiens. As I sat and looked about me I spotted a distant trig point, from where I was able to reconnect with my limited knowledge of the area. Still a way off the Public right of way I came across this, a well behaved rambler may not have stumbled across it, so it was my Best Pic of the Day.(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/barewirewalker/standingstone_zps3c4b3e09.jpg) (http://)

Point and Shoot = Panasonic DMC FT2 Lumix, great little camera, good quality phots and it's waterproof so not affected by the wonderful UK weather!!!!
 
DSLR = Nikon 700 with a couple of decent lenses, but its to big and bulky to take on long distance walks. So only used on a planned photo shoot walk where the distance isn't to bad

Thanks for that I hadn't thought of a boundary marker, the Williams-Watkin-Wynne boundary stones with WWW  that abound in N.Wales are far smaller. The Cast Iron Great Western Railway boundary markers are designed to give a nasty injury, at knee height, if the hedge or fence that they were originally put in should be taken away.


At some time it appears to have been a hormonal tally board for the more determined in a rather sparse community.

Me and my mate, once did a double coast to coast bike ride, many many years ago in July 1994. It was that, he had just got negative scanner and was telling about the ride and scanned some of the negatives. It was that I had the negatives from that ride and I, too had a negative scanner. So, that I did, scanned them and put to on PB. This is one of my favourites and retouched it, to this result.

IOW Tracey?  Look up the Monday itv4 report from the Tour de France in Corsica, fabulous scenery along the road that careers along the western cliffs.  Now that is what I call an island! You must have been to the alps and France?  Anyone who has been watching will surely be planning to go there for their next walking holiday.

IOW Tracey? ............ You must have been to the alps and France? 


Yep, the IOW!  Not a walking holiday though!  I have good friends who live on the island, so it's just a break combined with catching up with friends - although I may do the odd walk or two while I'm there. ;)


Nope, I've never been to the Alps and I haven't been to France since a school trip when I was 14 :o

Snapped this shot of Pen-Y-Ghent looming over Horton-In-Ribblesdale as I walked into the village at about 5am a few weeks ago. I was camping nearby to walk the three peaks, and just walking to the start. It turned out to be a beautiful day. I should invest in a better camera. :)

However, the most memorable part of the whole walk, for me, has to be High Cup Nick. This is where we stopped for lunch on one day. What a view.

Cheers Guys. It was one part of the Pennine Way I was really looking forward to, and believe me.... the picture does not do it justice.
I would highly recommend approaching it from the east though. It's quite well hidden until you actually get to it, which makes all the more spectacular.

That's a fantastic shot, and reason number 741 for me to just go and flipping walking the Pennine Way already and stop just planning to.

Having just completed the Pennine Way with my nephew, I now have plenty of pictures to share.
However, the most memorable part of the whole walk, for me, has to be High Cup Nick. This is where we stopped for lunch on one day. What a view.

Came across this stone circle on my recent trip onto the Berwyns in Wales, it's called Moel Ty Uchaf after the hill it rests upon.

I missed a 'rainbow shot' on Sunday, on The Roaches. Awful weather. My camera was tucked well away in my bag. I destroyed a camera in the rain a couple of years ago!


Anyone recommend a decent waterproof, compact camera?

Al,  I might be wrong, but I don't really think that a genuinely good quality, fully waterproof compact camera exists. Try looking around here: http://www.wexphotographic.com/ (http://www.wexphotographic.com/)

And this was taken from the window of the apartment that we've been staying in all week as our base. Actually the first night shot I've done; set the aperture and let the camera decide on the shutter speed and I think it got it close to perfect. Maybe I should have changed the white-balance but otherwise happy with the exposure - not been edited at all other than cropping off some of the sky. :)

Nothing special in this shot, just love all the colours. The lovely clear skies really helped with the colour contrast 8)  No editing other than cropping some of the sky out, and I had a polariser on my lens to again boost the colours.

Greetings from Prague!

This is my favourite place just a few miles from Prague - Svatý Jan pod Skalou (St. John under the Rock).

Thanks Mark

I'm no photographer by a long long way, but even with my poor standards they're still a little to blurry for me.
Keep meaning to take a camera on my hikes, but keep forgetting :(

I took these photographs on Saturday while walking from Loughborough to Leicester along the River Soar. It was the first of many walks I plan to do in 2014. The river was in flood, there was ankle deep mud for miles and I hated every minute of it at the time. I can look back on it now as one of the best walks I have done for ages. The entire walk worked out to 19.7 miles in length after all the detours I made for flooding. You can see an animation of my exact route if you click the link. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/BohemianBrummie/2013%20ROUTES/GPS%20TRACKING/2014/197M.gif

 On Christmas Day while the turkey was cooking I went for a walk down the river Tees from Barnard Castle past Abbey Bridge to the meeting of the waters where it meets the river Greta. At this point there is a lovely bridge and house. (https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t1/1526365_801338679883551_1338662776_n.jpg)

I grew up on the Wirral. some absolutely stunning walks available there. Wirral Country Park is one of my favourites. The walk from West Kirby, all the way along the old train route used to be one of my favourite days out as a kid.

Absolutely it's worth a visit, the new complex "Marine Point" and the improved pavilion are great. I was telling people in work and apparently New Brighton is "Yuppie Town"  O0  I don't know about that but when you consider what it used to be like (forgotten) it's looking good!

P.S I wrote about my walk on my blog (shameless)

As a new member I've really enjoyed looking through all 127 pages of this thread.


Not from today but a couple of pictures I've got on photobucket.


I'm sure many here will recognise the first one, taken on a May weekend 2 years ago, if I remember correctly about the only decent weather we had that year:

This one is in the foothills of the Alps in Provence last summer, about 400m higher than Ben Nevis:

Not really my best pic but the memories behind it were wonderful.
These sheep took a very keen interest in me, probably thought I had food, then the farmer came along and allowed me into the
lambing sheds to see all the new lambs, one pair had just been born. A brill memory and a lovely farmer.

That looks just a touch familiar to me  ::)   .  We walked that way round it, rather than over it when we 'cheated' the Pennine Way, walking LEJOG last year.   

Me and Dog too on JOGLE to avoid the huge crowd surging up it doing the Y3P

I did a solo walk today, 18 miles from near the M25 motorway to High Ongar. Some parts were very muddy & I got caught out by heavy rain, but also the sun was out in the afternoon, so very enjoyable & some nice photos taken. Best photo was this one - right at the end of the walk.

Out with the doggies this morning, noticed a foal in one of the fields. It wasn't till i got closer that i realised just how 'new' the foal was. The mare still had the placenta! Wish i'd been there a bit earlier.

Thanks both :)  I was fortunate to find a guy who runs a company that has a private bird watching hide, in the centre of Aviemore, on a small trout lake/pond.  They get between 2 and 6 or so birds in every morning from dawn, so it was just a matter of fitting a session in one morning when it was convenient with the family.  As it happened I was back to our log cabin by about 8am as all the action happened between 5 and 7.  A very early start and not cheap but totally worthwhile to see and photograph the birds at such close range (we had 5 birds fish that morning) !

I spent a few hours in Sutton Park today which is the largest urban park in Europe. I took a tent, box cooler full of food and a football. It was nice to not do a long walk over the weekend, but also frustrating as I ended up being bored after the kick about with family. The only interesting thing that caught my eye was the herd of stampeding cows that ran past me on a mission that only they knew about. I lost count of how many there were, but I am sure they surprised if not scared a few people out that day.

I like to think that panoramic photographs make all the difference. That is how you would see it with the naked eye. All of the photographs I take are in panoramic format. I take 3 separate photographs and stitch them together in Adobe Photoshop.

I like to think that panoramic photographs make all the difference. That is how you would see it with the naked eye. All of the photographs I take are in panoramic format. I take 3 separate photographs and stitch them together in Adobe Photoshop.

I have put a few panoramas together using up to 7 or 8 images. I find Microsoft ICE is an excellent program to use (and it's free!).


Another reason for me to almost never use my regular camera (TZ20) is that my smartphone (Galaxy Note 3) does a brilliant job of taking pano's. Take the first pic, then pan, and it add's the rest as you turn. The results are fairly impressive. (Stanage Edge, link to large pic: https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2910/14207479226_8e2242879b_k.jpg (https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2910/14207479226_8e2242879b_k.jpg) )


However, i generally don't have more than 3 frames worth in a pano, i think it makes it too thin and throws off the proper perspective.

Talk of panoramic photos leaves this old timer mystified.
I started with a 120 B&W camera given to me which had been liberated in Normandy and then progressed to 35mm. The cost of developing and printing made such a hole in the pocket money that I learnt to be selective and patient before pressing the shutter.
Today with digital photography it's a case of fire away and put half the results in the recycle bin, and of course you can photoshop and trim to turn a poorish pic into something passable.


I still miss the kick of picking up photos from the chemist to see how they've turned out. My favourite photo (of my favourite spot) was taken on film. Scanned into the computer but never manipulated.  I've tried to repeat it using digital cameras but somehow I've never managed to get the light and atmospherics right to do so.

Great photos everyone - @Penygadair - I have so much more respect for photographers who used to produce beautiful photos in film - it's so much easier these days - and yes I just click away - some work and a lot get deleted. On the flip side digital photography encourages lots more people to take pictures and get into photography!


I was walking in the Lake District last week and we walked to Fairfield via Deepdale. Perhaps it's one of the lesser well-known routes but it made for some great views! Here's a few of my fave pics. (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/fairfield-ullswater-best-lake-district-walk.html)

Some great shots here folks!


I was walking up on the North York Moors yesterday evening on Egton High Moor near Egton Bridge and took this shot: (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/walks-egton-bridge-north-york-moors-heather.html)

If you can get to the North York Moors - then now is perhaps one of the best times to visit as the heather is truly spectacular! If you are wondering exactly where this shot was shaken - then I've put a map on my blog post - which you can see here http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/walks-egton-bridge-north-york-moors-heather.html (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/walks-egton-bridge-north-york-moors-heather.html)

Have to say that despite my love/hate relationship with London, I've enjoyed seeing CallMeSteven's pics from the London area. (I loved working there but hated living there)


A few pics of Hyde Park, Ken Palace Gardens and Holland Park would bring back memories. I'll never go back.

Thanks, I'm currently walking all the parks of each London borough! It'll take me a while, I'll post the best photos as I go round. I don't
really live in London, I live close to Epping Forest in Grange Hill (Chigwell), but it is close enough to get to the smoke  :)

I think CallMeSteven's photos show that urban and urban-fringe walks are well worth doing, with a lot of interesting features to see.   
I find that what I call townscape walks can be very enjoyable   :)

Out for a local walk today, saw this behind me.  Up the hill to the right of the lit valley then into the head and back down the centre of the valley is one of my favourite walks, but which valley is it?  I about 400m N of the C2C path at the time.

They are gravestones, they were stacked up there when the graveyard was reorganised after a railway company dug a cutting through it and the tree has grown through and over them.
The man in charge of the reorganisation and reburial of the bodies was Thomas Hardy who then went off to write some books.

Apparently it was quite gory, railway navvies not being known for their sensitivity. He wrote a poem about it;

O passenger, pray list and catch
Our sighs and piteous groans,
Half stifled in this jumbled patch
Of wrenched memorial stones!
We late-lamented, resting here,
Are mixed to human jam,
And each to each exclaims in fear,
'I know not which I am!

Seemed to have managed to do an attachment, taken on the north end of the Stiperstones, Shrops. my local patch. I reduced a 168 kb jpg by 51 percent and landed up with a somewhat smaller image than I expected.

We set off early to try and make sunrise. As we drove past Storey Arms Car Park about 6.45am, there was maybe half a dozen cars there.  On the way back at about 3pm the grass verges on both sides of the Storey Arms had become an impromptu car park for about half a mle in either direction...

And thanks for the feedback all

Steven, I don't use Facebook but have just visited your Flickr site. Looks like I will be spending quite some time going through your excellent collection of photos!


Thanks Glyno - in 2013 I took over 7,000 photos.


Love your photos, wonderful, sadly my London walks, that I'm currently doing don't look quite as scenic.


Here's a shot taken at Hampstead Garden Suburb, from walk today around Brent, the southern part. (Full set at https://www.flickr.com/photos/redbridgerambler/sets/72157647882067933/)

Oh and a nice church shot (I think so anyway)

I know...this could have been taken anywhere, but my walk today through the West part of Barnet, was, tough going. Very waterlogged
paths, then a hail storm with thunder and lightning followed by, it felt, a ten degree drop in temperature. Ah well, the joys of walking (and it's only a
19 mile London walk!)

Apart from her obviously dreadful taste in men Mrs Ridge's only fault is her lack of interest in walking but she recently bought me a book of city walks and is now keen to come on them with me. It's a bit odd going for a walk round streets and parks but the history is interesting and there is always somewhere to get refreshments.
All this is an explanation of why I am posting more pictures of graves.
Beatrix Potter used to live near his graveyard and lots of people in it appear in her books including a Peter Rabbett.

Took in a 10 mile trek around my local area, Newport/Caerleon. A little snow on the hilltops in the distance, and you can just see the 'Sugarloaf' poking out on the right in the distance....
This was taken from 'Christchurch' viewpoint, before heading down through the woods to Caerleon, just the other side of the river.
The Caerleon back to Newport leg takes in part of Route 88 of the Cycle Network.

Great panorama - I do the same with my cheap camera, as long as the lens on the camera is high quality, you pan without
moving your feet and allow an overlap of around 20%,  they work great. Gives a real sense of being there. (I use Faststone MaxView to view the images. With that
program you can zoom to fill the monitor and drag from left to right)

Penyfan/Corn Du for me today.
Still havent picked up any spikes, so thought i'd be cautious and see how it went.
Managed the route ok, allthough a little slippery at times, lets just say I WILL be getting the spikes...


Sun, Mist, strong winds.... Pretty much had a little of everything today, but Oh So Worth it!

Great pic Gar303, mine was a last min trip too. It was either head into Cardiff to try and pick up some spikes, or just head straight up there and hope. I'd spoken to a few who had said it was managable with caution, so off we went. Still amazed by the amount of people up there in jeans and trainers....

I took a trek away from the normal Brecons Beacons routes today, along the reservoir Llyn Y Fan fach and across the top of Picws Du. It was about a 7 mile route from the car park, and misty and very windy up top.


First time I have done a new route on my own, getting a little braver...


Thorughly enjoyed it!  8)

@iradio, Cracking shot.

I was up there Sunday, well up under the shadow of Fan Hir, around Llyn y Fan Fawr, then diagonally up along a narrow path to meet the path that goes up the North side of Fan Foel before going back along the top of Fan Hir. That whole chunk of rock and earth feels way more mountainous the the central bit.  I'd have thought that route was impassable and beyond me 12 months ago O0

The trig point sits atop a cairn well above head height! Even the base of it is snow covered.

Took a 10 mile hike around the Penyfan Horseshoe yesterday, starting from the Neuadd Reservoir.
A little boggy up to the top of the first peak, but once on ridges a great walk around.


Took a little longer than expected, thankfully always have torch and headtorch in my bag, as they were needed, it was pitch black once we returned to the car.

On the farm where we keep our van every year they have a pen full of little lambs. These are triplet lambs removed from the mother because she will only look after 2 lambs. The farmer and his wife feed them by hand until there is a stillborn or death and then skin the dead lamb and cover one of the triplets in the pelt for 24/48 hours and the mother thinks its her lamb and rears it herself.

Took this in Scarborough a week ago today. We were staying in Helmsley all week so had a run over to the coast and did an 8 mile round-trip from one end of Scarborough front to the other and back, and I can never resist taking some photos that contain the Grand Hotel; in my view one of the most stunning buildings there is. I liked this one because of the reflection in the wet sand, we timed it just about right.

I was doing a test in the garden yesterday as I've been having issues getting my PC to recognise the camera, so I fired off some shots using the 70-200 I had on the camera at the time. Therefore not much depth of field, but really made me feel good about spring in England 8)

I use Flickr - all you need to do is copy the 'BCC' code. Alternatively just you copy photos from Facebook. Lots of other alternatives as well, which I'm sure
others will provide (or simply have a search on the forum  ;D  )

Ok here goes another try to upload a pic.
The lighthouse is Whiteford point in the Gower Wales UK.  It was made in 1865 out of cast iron, it's the only wave washed (actually in the sea as opposed to being on a rock) lighthouse in Britain.

That is possibly one of the best shots ive seen of Janets Foss, is that how it was or have you altered it somehow with picture magic.

Steven
The Daffodils have sprung up here in the North but today its back to wintery conditions, I imagine its still very much warm down in London from your picture

Thanks Rhino, the only thing I've done is boosted the colour that was already there. The morning sun did the rest.

The CWT is good and passes through some sensational scenery. It is not as hard going as its reputation suggests but it is VERY boggy and rough in places where there are no paths at all - or at least was when I went.

I think it is one of the best I have done and there are some lovely bothies en route I would put it below JOGLE (hardly a fair comparison) but above the others I have done. I will get a report on the blog soon - bit busy at the moment.

When I walked under it, I got an unpleasant feeling as I emerged from between the rear legs, and took two steps to the side, probably had something from the days when I milked cows, your are very vulnerable when bending down to wash a cows udder and that warm sticky feeling stays with you. In this case I thought it might be rather heavy and incapacitating.  ::)

I wish I could say that this one I took on Saturday is in it's raw state, somehow I don't think anyone would believe me  ;)  That said, the point of the picture was to get the green contrasting against the grey clouds on what was actually a lovely sunny day.

One final look back before the start of the Crib Goch ridge.


My friend checks her phone one last time as i tell her her mind will be on other things crossing the ridge ;D

Some more great photo's,


Botty, have you tried 'layer masking', just started to play around with them myself. Supposed to be the way achieve differences in tone variations, without having to apply same corrections to the whole picture.


Like the lead in to the boat with the long rope.


Always do a 'Whoops' between Water and Yellow Wagtails myself, that is a great shot, wish I could get one as good so that I paste it into pictures where I have missed to get them.

Red Hawthorne;
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/barewirewalker/red%20hawthorne_zpsr3yekk8a.jpg) (http://)


Not from an ornamental tree in a garden but from a rural hedge.


This tree dates from 1858 and is a sport (mutation) of pink hawthorn that was found in Herfordshire and was noted to have flowers of a more vibrant and far deeper shade.[/quote][/color]

Wish web site authors could check their spelling, I am pretty sure it was Herefordshire and not the other option of Hertfordshire.

A view i never tire of (though photographs never seem to do the sheer size of this place justice) .This was Wednesday and just as i was admiring the scenery a jet fighter came tearing up from what seemed like the bottom of the valley and flew directly overhead . It was that low i literally ducked ! Then I covered my ears ,  the sound was deafening .


Was going to continue through to Dufton then Appleby but i remembered the Horse Fair starts/started on Thursday so it was going to probably be busy . Turned round and made my way back to Cow Green instead .

Botty, have you tried 'layer masking', just started to play around with them myself. Supposed to be the way achieve differences in tone variations, without having to apply same corrections to the whole picture.



I must admit that although my son purchased for me the latest Photoshop Elements for Christmas (yes purchased software  ;D ) I only ever use the basic editing tools built into Google Photos where I store them all. I have once or twice played with the layering options in Elements just to get a feel for it, but most of the time I just like something quick and easy. If though, I was to create a 'proper' one to frame for the wall for example I would probably spend a little more time doing it properly.


I took some photos in the garden a couple of nights ago tried catching flowers between the breeze, and was happy with them. Very little done to them.

Thanks Botty. I used Aperture priority and autofocus @600mm (so I didn't get stung haha) on my FZ45. The increased depth of field on the smaller sensor bridge camera seems to work better for close ups.

Not known for my urban walking, but the incongruous can catch you anywhere. Taking a shortcut, a couple of days ago through the gated precincts of The Temple, in the City of London, this caught my eye;

Should I call it Legal Litter, with the jaded look of permanent abandonment? No clamps and elsewhere for the average citizen, no doubt clocking up penalties by the bucket full.


With a film of dust becoming measurably thick I believe temptation to local graffiti artists is only offset by the near by presence of so much law.

Hello Glyn, sorry to hijack your posting - but I noticed you mention having a Mac:- I too have a MacBook and for the first time I have been trying to post some photos and have followed some advice on here including - Facebook/photobucket/Tinypic - and I must be doing something drastically wrong. I managed to get two photos on and then yesterday attempted to add more, whereupon not only was I unsuccessful in adding any but I managed to lose one of the two that I originally posted.


The obvious problem seems to be the common reference to right clicking an object to 'copy' it and the inability of Macs to do that ....... Aghhh !
Have you ever used anything such as Tinypic and/or have you found it easy ?
I would much appreciate any suggestions.
Regards.

Hi IM  :)
right-clicking on a Mac is just like on a PC, if you're using the trackpad use two fingers. Otherwise, just plug in a cheap mouse?
I rarely use Tinypic, Photobucket etc, I put most of my photos on Flickr and copy from there.

Thanks IM, the reflection is of The Screes in Wastwater and involved stitching 6 (I think) photos together.

Nice shot too Hillhiker.
Normally I fail to press the shutter in the time allotted by these little critters. Got many more failures and the camera down played its true colours, a good exercise for layer masking, as this has made it possible to get the vivid effect I saw without having to make the plants too unnatural.

We stayed in Beadnell and have booked again for September, we haven't exhausted the coastal walks never mind switched inland to the Cheviots yet 8)

Sure was, we originally booked for last Monday but the weather was rubbish so changed to the Wednesday when it was much better. I managed to get some seals but they were a distance away and my lens was a 70-200mm so not really that good for wildlife at a distance, therefore the photo below is cropped right in. As anyone who has taken photos of birds in flight you 'miss' with about 90% of the shots as trying to keep the bird's body in focus is easier said that done  ::)

Glyno how come everyone is scrambling along below the highest point of the ridge? I haven't done grib goch yet but looks a bit like striding where you can take an easier path below the highest points of the ridge.

Haven't looked in here for a while, stunning photographs but I the info supplied is very interesting. Look at Stevens and you would think that it had to be taken with a top end macro camera, WW's are out of a text book for composition and simplicity. Glyno's is the picture we would all want to be able to take, but the conditions of light and cloud are never quite right. I have just come back from a week in Galloway, tried to get some sea bird shots and all I got was fresh air, a tail or a bit of wing. Botty gives us hope, it can be done.
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: CallMeSteven on 08:02:41, 24/07/15
I agree entirely. I love Glyno's shot and werringtonwalker's grass shot is wonderful.


I used to own an SLR Canon 5D with big heavy lenses. Far too much to carry around on 20 mile hikes so although a compact is a compromise
for resolution and high end focus, compact cameras can take very good shots in good light and a little patience. I hope to upgrade in the future once the
Olympus dies, possibly getting a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 which is around Ł280 compared to the Olympus which was Ł200 originally, (got it new for Ł100.).
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: Innominate Man on 08:45:12, 24/07/15
I have a 10meg Panasonic Lumix, which has been quite a disappointment. It takes reasonable shots but nothing very well.
The big problem I find, which isn't always necessary - depending on what you're photographing, is the delay between what you see & press to take and the longish delay for the 'shutter' to release.
Mainly a problem with action shots.
I've been checking out what others on here have and there are some good suggestions although my budget will limit my final choice.

Nothing to do with walking really, but I spotted these guys on Parlick fell on Friday. I think they are mating but I'm not sure, there were a few groups and plenty more buzzing about so I didn't want to be among them for long..

Similarly, BWW.  Comments are greatly appreciated. 


I always enjoy seeing everyone's photos on this thread - the sheer variety is terrific and the quality is constantly high; there's always something interesting.  I should comment more often on individual pictures than I do - suffice it to say that I find this the thread that I return to to more often than any other and am rarely disappointed.  Thanks everyone who posts for the regular entertainment and inspiration,

 lovely photo, sometimes i think wild flowers are better


Thanks both for those comments, I do not think that walking is just about grand vistas, though I love great landscapes both photographed and as paintings. The viewpoint is one of the special places that the walker searches out. Sitting on the Meyrick in Galloway, a week ago,I was speaking to a lady, who walks the area regularly. She lives on the coastline of the Solway Firth, I was commenting on the amazing variety of species of plants, we had seen, especially Orchids. She told me that she thought it has been a particularly good year for Orchids. The day before we had climbed Ben John and our approach had been governed by the ring of bracken circling the lower slopes, we found a track that bypassed the worst of it and it was thick with orchids.  


That day we overdosed on great views and then we found the 'Grey Man' as I posted earlier on this topic.

Hillhiker, like your tangle of wasps, I think they are more likely to be stinging each other to death rather than in a multiple 'bunkup'. It is just these sort of interesting and curious encounters that makes a walk.

The Galloway hills are magic, just the place to visit this time of year you can find solitude when places like the Lakes are heaving.

Great picture and marvelous for you to capture it.


I witnessed a similar cloud movement many years ago in the Nant Francon valley in Wales, but this was at night. A group of us were camped out under the Black Ladders on the Carneddau side of the valley. It was a brilliant moonlit night and a cloud had built up on the skyline of the Black Ladders. It built up in height, until it was towering above us, a huge wall of white and then it suddenly broke and started to pour over the skyline. Many channels streaming down the separate gulleys until they hit the bottom and then formed a wall of cloud that stated to advance on our rough camp in a disused sheep pen. It terrified one of the lads so much that he ran for back to our club cottage.


In minutes we were completely enveloped in cloud and decided to pack our alfresco night camp and head back to the cottage. Carrying our absent mates abandoned gear a well.


Sadly I was unable to to photograph the phenomenon.

What a great thread - and some fantastic pics/views!


I recently done my first walk in the Osmotherley area (North Yorkshire) - a rather short circular walk of about 5 miles, taking in part of the Cleveland Way and Cod Beck reservior. It's a great little walk though with some excellent views considering there isn't a great deal of up hill walking. Here are a few pics, and if you are interested in the map of the walk and more pics - check out my blog at http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/osmotherley-circular-walk-via-cod-beck.html (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/osmotherley-circular-walk-via-cod-beck.html)

@GazzerG - nice pic - I quite fancy a wander up to the waterfalls of Goathland myself soon.


I took my daughter (2years old) on her first camping trip last weekend to the lakes - hoping she would like it and become an outdoors person like her dad - so far so good! Managed to get out and do one popular walk I'd never done before around Gowbarrow Fell. The views over Ullswater were superb, maybe some of the best I have seen in the Lake District - and I managed to take a few photos on my walk, this one being my favourite.

Not really the pic of the day, but it amused me.
Seen at the dead end of a tarred road from Bontddu where the old stagecoach track to Harlech goes through a gate just about wide enough for a quad bike. Does this infer people are walking too quickly.

Y Llethr and Llyn Dulyn from Crib y Rhiw - Tuesday this week.

I noticed a small herd of feral goats grazing to the east. Could I get close enough to photograph them without spooking them?
Didn't quite come off, but at least these iconic animals continue to thrive.

Nice photos everyone has heard of Jacks Rake but there is soooo much more superb scrambling in the Langdale area, apart from having my fave mountain hut that gives better than hostel standard accomodation, open all year round at at Ł3.00 pppn, even has its own swimming pool!!!!

Langdale probably has more scrambling than any other valley in the lakes.

I dont usually get the chance to talk my wife and daughter into coming on walks with me, but only a short one today, as we hopped in the car and drove 50ish miles away from Newport to Henrhyd Falls.
My little one loved the fact she could walk behind the waterfall, and is hoping to do a 'show and tell' in school this week!

I've been rather quiet for a few weeks, due to the sad news of my mother's death. However, I've started walking again. Today
a local walk of 11 miles. The area where I live (Grange Hill, Essex) has fantastic landscapes. Love the early morning shadows and changing
countryside. Certainly helps the grieving process.

Local walking for me today, but still some lovely scenery to be found. This one about 20 mins walk from the center of Newport, heading towards the 14 locks part of the city.


6 miles, 2 hours and some stinky smelling boots!

Lovely pics guys, that yellow flower is a cracker!


Just a little lunchtime camera walk today, in the Wentwood area of Newport, the hill in the background is grey hill, a popular walking destination for me, with great views over the Severn estuary. The reservoir is private property, but today the gate was open and after a quick chat with a friendly fisherman, I asked if I was ok to take a few pics....

I love having Friday Afternoons off!

An early morning start for me, left Newport at 3.30am to head up to Brecon Beacons, sunrise the target around Penyfan....

Sadly, it never happened, arrived at the peak of Penyfan about 6.10am to clear skies, but as you can see from the pic above, the mist soon joined us, and stayed for the rest of the morning.


Took this one on the way back down towards the Storey Arms a few hours later.
Great walk nevertheless! (as always)

Never seen the kissing stones before, its certainly a 'spot on' description!


My Friday afternoon walk took me up to the Brecon Beacons, think this is the 4th time I have done the Neuadd Reservoir route this year.
I can't help it though, one of my faves!

Aye, it's the black sand beach at Vik, we drove there from Reykjavik (a long drive at 55mph on single roads in poor weather) but it was the one day when the weather was horrendous so photos were limited, as was the time we spent in the area.

Stunning pics! Iceland is def on the bucket list!


I made a dash up Walla Crag on the side of Derwent Water, Lakes last night - as it was misty on the valley floor and wondered if there may be a cloud inversion going one! This is what i found..

Great pic - just had to google where Dovestone Reservior is! Just had chance to process another pic from Mondays Blea Tarn walk. I decided to leave my walking boots in the composition - makes it more real! Wish i was there now!

On a side note - if anyone on here enjoys my pics and blog, can I ask a big favour? I'm chuffed to bits to receive an email out of the blue saying I have been shortlisted for the Go Outddors Independent Blog of the Year Awards 2015, and could I kindly ask that you would vote for my blog over at http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/go-outdoors-awards (http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/go-outdoors-awards) if you like my work?

Spent yesterday over Fairfield, St Sunday Crag and through Grisedale experiencing gale force wind, lashing rain, hail showers, and bright sunshine!
Here's a couple of photos, I thought I'd see how they looked in black and white.


This one is of Nethermost Cove above Grisedale:

Weather forecast was for Snow Showers up on Penyfan today, so went for a little wander....
70mph winds blowing sleet in my face made for an interesting walk, but loved every minute of it.


Only managed the one pic, took the 'motorway' route up today, up and down in 1hr 50mins, there was to be no hanging around in that weather today. Literally touched the trig point, turned around before I was blown over, and headed back down!


God I so love the Brecon Beacons!  :)

Without wishing to teach people to suck eggs. Worth pointing out those ice balls are potentially dangerous and need to be removed rather than tolerated to avoid a slip.

This was Dumfries town centre early this morning, flooding is quite a regular occurrence but it is mainly businesses near the river which are affected and not residential areas fortunately.  Some places were hit a lot worse.

My best pic of the day is this one from Bleaklow this morning. It's not that there's anything spectacular about it photography-wise, just that I love hares (mountain or otherwise) but have only once before seen one in the wild - so seeing this one and getting a picture really made my day.  :)  I was surprised at how small the ears were but then I suppose mountain hares would lose a lot of heat if they had humungous great lugholes!

Post by: iradio on 16:31:04, 13/12/15
Thanks Gazzer, It is a great camera, I recently upgraded from a 3200 as I wanted something a bit more weathersealed for when out and about.

I have recently added a 10/20mm lens as well, as the 18mm lens I had just wasn't quite wide enough for some of the scenery I wanted to catch.

Oh, and of course, Lightroom which makes them all take shape during processing!

Hopefully that's me sorted for equipment for the next few years!

This is a pic from a couple of days ago - winter sun over the White Peak taken from halfway along Curbar Edge. The sun was out for less than 15 mins but it was really magical, casting long shadows and mottling what were pretty dour hillsides with amazing pools of colour. I was amazed that myself and a young couple stood there with cameras out snapping away feverishly while a stream of people tramped past, head down heads into the wind and rain - oblivious to this stunning light show

Wurz, the snow was very thin yesterday but I could see there was fresh snow this morning on the lower Carneddau so I guess things are more snowy and icy on Snowdon, and there is fresh snow forecast tonight and tomorrow. Winter might be coming eventually!

I was up on Derwent Edge in the Peak District yesterday doing some Volunteering for the National Park - the weather was stunning, with some amazing sunshine.. but despite that this slightly gloomy, muted pic is my favourite of the day. Win Hill and Bamford Edge in the distance.

Nice pics guys - I'd been itching to get out on a decent walk since xmas - but I'm no fan of walking in the rain and poor visibility - so when I seen the snow arrive up north at the back end of last week I just had to get out. I'd been wanting to visit High Cup Nick in Cumbria for a while - and I thought that place would look pretty impressive with a coating of snow - so we headed up there on sat. Fortunately in the morning the weather was decent - good visibility - a bit of blue in the sky and no wind - although a bit chilly! Here are a few photos below - and if you are interested in the full blog post write up of this High Cup Nick walk in cumbria with more pics - then head over to my blog at http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/high-cup-nick-walk-cumbria-dufton-map-snow.html (http://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/high-cup-nick-walk-cumbria-dufton-map-snow.html)

Well its been a warm if not wet winter but still its a little early for spring. Took these pictures of some lambs and daffodils today on a walk around Howarth Moor.


The lambs look at least a week old as well

Not been on the forum for a while, but could not resist posting one of my photos of the Pelicans at Regents Park. I did a 21 mile
circular walk route London today - great fun this time of year, blue skies and not too many tourists, slowing my pace down!


Incidentally, the Pelicans rarely appear on the grass close to the footpaths, they are usually on the rocks in the pond.

Seeing as I'm skint after Christmas I decided to stay in the city for a few walks. I spent all morning waiting for 'that friend' who always wants to come walking but is never on time. Anyway, by noon he still wasn't here so off I went. Glad I set off when I did as it turns out, managed to catch the susnset:

The cliffs between Fairlight and Hastings are a great coastal walk, with some steep ascent/descent, and wilder than the Seaford to Eastbourne coast.  But Ecclesbourne Glen, near the Hastings end, has been beset by footpath closures owing to landslips.

Blimey, there are some cracking photographers here on the forum.
Having superb equipment, does not alway's indicate your a good photographer.
A friend of the family many years ago, who had more money than sense, alway's had to be seen with THE RIGHT gear.

When Leica started developing their digital cameras, many years ago, he bought one.

Optics and build quality, to drool over and worship, but his photographs were average.

Could he compose a photograph- No, did he explore the varying array of SD cards available, probably not.

He knew Leica was the best, and he did not care whether his photographs made David Bailey lose sleep.

That Loughrigg Fell photo really looks the dogs.

Took this photo of the Commando Memorial with the Mamore range in the background on Wednesday. Perfect conditions. The location is near Spean Bridge in Lochaber. This is the area where commandos trained for missions during WW2.

I've never been at the Kinder Downfall when the prevailing winds have blown the water back up onto the plateau but I managed to get a couple of long distance shots of it on Monday when we headed down from Chinley Churn along Cracken Edge.  :)

Great photos, love the Northern Lights.
How long was the exposure for the "green one"?

Post by: botty on 12:48:04, 01/04/16
Hi PAG1952. I took around 40 photos of the lights and they were all using a 10-22 lens set at f/3.5 and 30 seconds; what was pleasing was that the the aurora forecast was only a 2 on the scale 1-9 but thankfully very clear night. Unfortunately I was on our veranda overlooking the sea (literally hung partly over the edge) but as I walked backwards and forwards to the camera there was a little shake so the shots weren't as crisp as I had hoped. We are on the north coast of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland, we head down to Reykjavik today for a few nights and the forecast is higher, but the cloud cover is heavy so not much chance of seeing anything. This is the best site for checking http://en.vedur.is/weather/forecasts/aurora/


The image below is the outside area of where we are staying.

If you have some really expensive glass on your camera with a fast aperture then you can cut down the exposure length and get more definition in the lights as with 30 seconds the movement of the lights causes a blur effect.

Post by: PAG1952 on 16:09:28, 01/04/16
Always wanted to see the northern lights, but on the odd occasions that I've been far enough north to stand a chance it's been 8/8 cloud cover or 0 activity.
So all I can say is:

Here's a shot of the first bluebells I've seen in 2016

I did a quick 'google' Dovegirl, Telscombe looks a very pretty village

It's surrounded by the downs so it's on the route of some lovely walks    :)

A few from yesterday....


We started the day with a bit of a hike, which we abandoned as the track became very muddy and icy, so did a few stops at places we'd been to before but at a different time of the year so got a new look. We were out for 11hrs and drove about 140 miles in total. The first photo is an extinct volcano crater which isn't a particularly big one but accessible; you can just see some people on the rim at the far side.

I hate walking on this stuff Wurz.  It's no pleasure to walk across and it's very easy to twist an ankle.  I remember in my younger days Dartmoor was never like this and I wonder whether it's the lack of grazing animals that is the cause.  Anyway, a great photo with superb cloud formations.

Heres two taken of the Hope Valley in Derbyshire from Stanage Edge. Taken on my Canon EOS M3 using a 55-200 lens at about 8AM this Sunday. The Edge was deserted until the valley fog cleared at about 11ish when everyone then descended, most people not knowing how spectacular it had been a few hours before

The daffs will soon be over but the woods up towards helto rocks will be full of bluebells very soon.
It's such a lovel area, especially now that the NT & Woodland Trust have bought Fingle woods on the south side between Steps Bridge all the way to join up with the Castle Drogo estate.

This was going to be a TR on a circular walk along, and around Marcle Ridge, in Herefordshire, the first mile or two had some pleasant but not spectacular views  across Herefordshire to the Malvern Hills but after that the walk degenerated into a tedious trudge through open farmland, far from my favourite type of walking. As it was a fairly short walk and with nothing to hold my interest I was back at the car by 12:30. Being only a few miles from the Bird of Prey Centre near Newent I decided to spend the rest of the afternoon there. So here's a few photos from there instead.

The snow only lasted a few hours, it was one of those freak spring weather things. I wasn't planning on walking at Malvern, but then I saw the snow I thought I'd pop up, I'm local(ish) as well. I can see the hills from my place.

Very striking photograph, the foreground helps to give the scene so much power or is it the background that shows off the memorial, either way it works to give it wow factor.

The bluebells are excellent.

I was sitting on the exact bench on October 14th last year, in similar conditions to what we are having at the moment, except the mountains,including Ben Nevis were clear of snow.
I do hope you took the opportunity to drive towards the Kyle of Lochalsh and Skye, as the weather was spot on for the amazing vistas along the A87 Spean Bridge Skye route.

I thought Snowdonia was stunning, but that A87 was a trip i will not forget in a long time, vistas to die for, and an air clarity where you could see for miles, and the corner of the road where you come into Kintail , was jaw dropping.

Not exactly the same quality of previous photos but it tickled me when I saw this. Every gate on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path has a name, number and grid reference on a small plate on the gate. I wonder how this one got it's name?

Love the high voltage foreground to the landscape and I wish my closeups came as clear as the bumble bee and hover fly, great photos.


A clump of dandelions caught my eye, walking towards a railway bridge, just out out of my reach the original image was taken at arms length above my head with the screen angle down. Could hardly see the image I was taking :o

Nothing to do with walking, but this afternoon I went into the kitchen to make a coffee and just outside the window was this female sparrowhawk, sat on the fence not 20 ft away.
Just grabbed the point and shoot camera, which happened to be nearby, and took these pictures through the double glazing.

They are fantastic photos PAG.  It's been quite a few years since I have seen a sparrowhawk.  I have seen them before in North Yorkshire but have never managed to photograph one.  I have never even seen one here in Devon.

Its located at the base of the Shoulder of Mutton, locally known as Little Switzerland.

There are hills in Hampshire.  Lived there for 12 years.  Tried to find some. Alas never found one worth calling a Hill.  ;D   Still a lovely place to live though.  O0

After a quite strenuous walk from Seathwaite taking in Great End, Glaramara and a few other hills, I drove back to Buttermere YHA and later on had a lovely 3 and a half miles walk from the Hostel up Rannerdale Knotts in the evening sunshine (minus backpack) and was rewarded with lovely views all around, especially towards Haystacks direction with the sun shining on it.

Nice photos wildCAMPER.
Amazing to think that your 4th photo - of Malham Cove was actually a full blown waterfall after/during the winter 2015/16 floods.
I think, if I'm correct, that event was the first in living memory - if not in recorded history.

This is from a walk I took up to Great Whernside from Kettlewell a couple of weeks ago.  The little valley has been cut by Dowber Gill Beck.  Very lovely.

Once I'd reached the top of Great Whernside, I went a little off piste to take a look at a couple of reservoirs that I'd walked around the week before.  These are Scarhouse and Angram Reservoirs.

@PeakRambler - your photos are excellent, both those in this post and others that you've previously posted.
However, have you considered a little less distracting watermark? Please don't take offence, but I find it quite obtrusive and your superb photos would look so much better if it were considerably smaller and tucked into a corner or something.

Thank you for the kind words.

I apologise for the obtrusive watermark.

A couple of years ago I was tipped off by a friend where a couple of professional photographers, not UK based either, were copying and selling my photos without my permission, or even a share in the profit.

The battle got quite nasty, so reluctantly, I had to utilise the watermark to stop them, and others trying to do the same. I wouldn't have minded if they approached me first and at least offered me a decent share!

However, completely watermark free images can be seen in my Flickr Account, which has full copyright protection against the unscrupulous, while allowing others like yourself, to view freely.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/peak-rambler/albums

For those who are concerned about photos being copied, saved or stolen, Flickr, unlike many others, does allow you to set your level of copyright as you see fit.

Nice pics Wurz.  I recognise Gem Viaduct and Grenofen Bridge.  Whenever we are looking for a short afternoon walk we quite often walk along Drake's Trail from Bedford Bridge to Tavistock, crossing Gem Viaduct on the way.  In recent years I have started suffering from vertigo and I don't find it easy to walk across the viaduct.  I always walk across as fast as I can and there is no way I could stop and look over the railings.  My wife has no trouble crossing the viaduct, but she finds it quite claustrophobic walking through the subsequent Grenofen tunnel.

Post by: Wurz on 18:00:43, 06/08/16
Cheers Dave.  When I'm home from work we take the dog on the moor or around Mt Edgcumbe & Rame 2-4 times a week.  Drakes trail is rammed at the moment because of the holidays so we went from Longash down towards Magpie under the viaduct and along the river to avoid the kids on bikes.
Hopefully I'll get a camp in next week.
Have you tried the cafe at the start of the cycle path in Yelverton? To be recommended!!!  O0
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: DevonDave on 18:44:10, 06/08/16
Yes, there are some nice walks along the river there.  We used to enjoy the walk to Double Waters, although we haven't done that one for some time.  No, we haven't tried the cafe at Yelverton - must try that next time we are there.

I think so, I'm not the best with place names to be honest. We went walking/mountain biking up and around Harlech and Coed y Brenin. Some lovely views and great hiking trails. Usually we just get in the car, drive into the middle of nowhere and spend the weekend out and about. I only had my phone with me so quality isnt great. Just starting to look into a decent camera though so should have some good ones to share as and when we go places.

Looking through some of the pictures posted on here has shown me some interesting ideas for taking pictures. Looking forward to seeing more..

Nice looking dog, I hope he has plenty of good walks left in him.

My lad is 12 and blind but he still can manage up to 20 miles in  a day. He has been a great walking partner
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: Roger on 09:12:35, 09/09/16
Thanks for the nice comments.

He's been a worker in his past and now that is catching up on him. We have climbed Munros together, done most of the Kinder plateau, walked along miles of local Canals and every now and again he has even caught his own food. Now however, just a short walk around the nearby fields has him lying down quite often, hence the picture.

Because of his age and what he's done in the past, it wouldn't be fair on him to keep him alive just for us. We made a decision a long time ago that if anything major was to happen to him we would have him put to sleep. A broken leg, or some illness that would stop him doing and being the dog he is, wouldn't be kind on him. He's been a hunter all his life and you can still see it in his eyes even today.

We just hope that in the 9 years we've had him, he has had a good life.

Roger.

I did want to leave more of the fence leading to the tree in, but it was a bit scruffy with wire.

It's getting to that time of year, when the sun is low in the morning and evening sky, creating some good photo opportunities with sun rises and sunsets, along with those dramatic long shadows!

This photos was taken in our garden last October, so a time to get out there snapping away.

Also inversions become quite prominent.

Hedgetrimmer -  the photo with the castle in it is Castle Stalker in Appin, Argyll. It is a private residence although they open the doors to let the public see through it a few times a year. Lismore Island is in the background.
The one near Ballachulish is of the Pap of Coe (Sgurr na Ciche). This is the hill Mel & I climbed a couple of weeks ago.

I think the other one I didn't know is Loch Creran and Beinn Sgulaird, taken from mid way across the bridge over that loch.

I seem to be having a problem with photobucket at the moment. I can't get on it, and none of my photos are showing anywhere. Having just upgraded my account with them, I don't see why this should be. Hopefully, normal service will be resumed shortly.


EDIT: Photobucket are currently having some operating issues with some customer's accounts, and say their engineers are working on the problem.

I shared a ledge with one of those great, great grandfather on the east face of Tryfan, I accused my mate of exercising his bowel in an all to familiar fashion until we realised that we were sharing the ledge with this rather 'high' local.


I thought they had long disappeared, good to see they are still in the locality.


I hope I have got his age right, remember part of a poem;


The horse and mule live 30 years
And nothing known of wines and beers.

The goat and sheep at 20 die
And never taste of Scotch or Rye.

The cow drinks water by the ton
And at 18 is mostly done.

The dog at 15 cashes in
Without the aid of rum and gin.

The cat in milk and water soaks
And then in 12 short years it croaks.

The modest, sober, bone-dry hen
Lays eggs for nogs, then dies at 10.

All animals are strictly 'dry':
They sinless live and swiftly die;

But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men "
Survive for three score years and ten.

And some of them, a very few,
Stay pickled till they're 92.

Love the poem  ;D

Often see the goats in the Glyders, more usually over the Tryfan end. There's also a herd on Snowdon that can often be seen around the Horns (I presume it's not the same ones). I think the Snowdon lot are the ones who often descend to Beddgelert and cause havoc in people's gardens!

Thanks Ridge  :)

Been trying to capture the autumn colours for a while now, but haven't been lucky with the light on many occasions. The snow cap on Pillar was a bonus though, but wish I could've caught the cloud colouring in the setting sun better. Might be time I upgraded my camera.

I really like this shot of the Rowan Tree, inspired. Many could have walked by without seeing its potential.
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: Hedgetrimmer on 11:28:09, 08/11/16
Thanks for the kind comments folks  :)
That was my first time exploring Ennerdale; it certainly won't be the last! I had a feeling it would be a good place to catch autumn, with the map showing the juxtaposition of the lake, mountains and extensive woodland. Next time, I hope to get further along. According to an information board at the car park, it's 6.5 miles around the lake. I guess another 3 miles to get to the head of the valley, which I'd like to do. Should have set off earlier!  ::)


You couldn't help but have your eye caught by that rowan tree. The shot was taken looking down on it after an easy scramble, and it's fiery red stood out sharply, just catching the last of the fading sunlight. I'm always reminding myself when out walking to look at the minutiae of a place, as well as taking in the wider scenery; somewhere like the Lake District, it's all too easy to forget this I think.

I got a lucky weather break on Monday 14 November, what was a cloudy day, and night, there was a few minutes break to set the camera, tripod and remote releases up to photograph the Supermoon.

(https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5528/31059451775_14f6593c02_b.jpg)
The cloud starting to clear


(https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5497/30945303751_8e915b8258_b.jpg)
Using manual settings, exposure details as follows:
ISO 100
1/100 sec exp
F5.6
300mm
No filter

The best photo, the brilliance of the moon overpowered the cloud, though you can see the cloud had an impact on the lower half of the moon.


(https://c6.staticflickr.com/6/5480/31059447605_768515bc60_b.jpg)

The cloud quickly returned, after a couple of successful photos.


(https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5494/30945301551_a6bd0aec7e_b.jpg)

Though the moon photo was taken using the camera on the tripod and a cable remote shutter release, the last cloud shot was taken using the mobile as the remote shooting device. The set up comprised of:
Canon 750D 75-300mm lens
Manfrotto Tripod
Samsung Galaxy S6 using the Canon Connect App, connected using the standard Wi-Fi connection to the Canon 750D Wi-Fi

I do like the night sky.  Took this quick snap of the moon. whilst lying on the trampoline in our back garden earlier in the year.

My camera is just a decent point and click with a built in zoom lens, but it takes nice snaps. O0


Here's another from a walk on Bodmin a few months back.

They're brilliant photos.

Compacts today are as good as their bigger stablemates, the DSLR's.

I have the Canon SX280 compact (which does allow me to retain manual exposure control), which is as good as my DSLR, except, I can't attach either my Star 6 or Polarising filters....

Or, I'd dump the DSLR.

Three from earlier, actually on our way back so we stopped off so I could take a few photos, and as I had my tripod with me I was all set. I have lightened the fields on the last one so a bit of a cheat you could say  ;)  Plus, one is lit with the headlights to draw your eye up the path.

I like that, I remember as kids, roaming the countryside freely and extensively, having many names for wildlife flora and fauna, which are not in books. These would be passed onto us by countrymen, farmworkers who had families going back many generation of country living.
Could call it "Yellow Brains Wired".

It is indeed Dom. We were there for a few days and had great weather. Tiree is one of the 'far out' Inner Hebridean islands and is very flat. The weather clouds pass right over and drop their rain on the western mainland so it can be pouring in the west but sunny here. Alma is doing good with her walking and the long beaches were ideal for her. Hope your muscle problem is better...........

Cheers Dovegirl - Yep, we did a circular from Matlock taking in Matlock Bath, Gulliver's, Heights of Abraham and High Tor, Artist's corner etc. My legs know about it today though! It wasn't a long walk either really. The sun was facing us though so didn't get great pics on the return leg, although I managed to salvage a couple:

Ha, I don't mind heights, it's the falling from them I'm not keen on :P

My friend who was with me it the time suffers from vertigo though, so he wasn't as comfortable.

I like posters, earlier this year I entered a photo comp, I had to present a Panel of 3 related photos that complimented each other.

I chose to enter 3 modern photos based on the old LNER cathedral city posters of the 1950's, got second place.

Try this pleb:-
Right click on where the photo should be, then "Copy image address".  Paste that address into your browser and it should bring the photo up.  If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I have no other suggestions and you will need someone with a bit more technical knowledge than me.

I went on a bit of a local walk the other day as I'd seen a lovely view across the fields when it was sunny, however whilst it wasn't sunny on the day I went so lacked some saturation, the clouds did add some interest.

Sorry folks - been away a week.  Kisdon Force is about half a mile south east of Keld, on the River Swale.  The path to reach it is a little bit hairy (my non walking type friend didn't want to go down to the bottom), but it is worth the effort.  Glacier ice melt has cut out a little gorge just north of Kisdon Hill, making for a really decent picnic type spot. I may even get round to writing a blog post on it and then more pictures.  (Which hopefully pleb will be able to see)  ;) ;)

Nice pics Jac.  I can't beat your adder, but I did get this slow worm yesterday when we were having a wander around Trenchford, Tottiford & Kennick Reservoirs.  I always find that the trouble with adders is that by the time I have got the camera out they have slithered away into the undergrowth.

The more you zoom with a compact, the more shake you get!  Still a nice photo though Uncle d  O0
A fence post comes in handy...or a friends shoulder....when you need summat to help steady the camera.

Post by: Kukkudrill on 21:24:29, 04/05/17
The TZ80 has a viewfinder and a control ring round the base of the lens. When shooting with the zoom extended, hold the camera like you would hold a DSLR - with both hands, with left hand cradled round the control ring, and viewfinder to your eye. You can hold it much steadier like that.

No photo folks but pointing you in the direction of some splendid examples I've seen recently.
While passing through two railways stations I have come across an exhibition of photography displayed in the main foyers.
There are lots of subject matters but predominantly the outdoors are captured with both pastoral views and wild mountain images.
They are all excellent and well worth a detour into a railway station near you, as I believe they are on show generally across the rail network.


I saw them at Manchester Piccadilly and Leeds stations and enjoyed looking so much I almost missed my train !
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: midweekmountain on 10:00:21, 11/05/17
Yes, its always great to come across photo and art exhibitions, just a question who's work are they promoting.





Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: Innominate Man on 13:38:44, 11/05/17
Not sure, but here's a link and although this says specifically Leeds station, I saw the same exhibition in Manchester (although it could be the same display moving around different locations !)


www.networkrail.co.uk/feeds/world-class-photography-lands-at-leeds-station/ (http://www.networkrail.co.uk/feeds/world-class-photography-lands-at-leeds-station/)




PS - hold on, I have read the article and it does appear to be moving around the country with limited periods of display. I just happened to be lucky to see it twice.

Yes, it certainly is a beautiful spot, especially on a day like today with the temperature in the mid 70's (sorry, I'm too old to be thinking in terms of Centigrade!).
People often go wild swimming there, but even on a hot day the water feels freezing as it has come straight down off the moor.

We past a couple of tents on our way back to the car.  Only a few hundred yards from the road.  Where they were, in a hollow out of the wind, they may well have been flooded out in that storm.  But not for back to safety from there.  It was an amazing sight.  I have seen many skys but nothing that impressive before.  We were up until after 2am watching it.  Quite mesmerising.  I doubt we will see the like again.  it was like day light in our garden and the thunder was just continuous for hours.

I was thinking this recently, I'll drop him a PM and see if he responds.
We did walk together once and I have his phone number but I don't feel I know him well enough to ring.

Apologies for being off topic too but yes, I remember callmeSteven's TRs which I also enjoyed.

And I also wondered if anyone knew what happened to MoelPysgod, who was also a regular poster here up until late last year. He seems to have taken down his blog/website as well, which is a real shame as it was one of my favourites - great writing and some wonderful photography.


I suppose people do move on in different directions or the pressures of life take over etc.   :(

The forum is a poorer place since Call Me Stephen stopped posting. I enjoyed the mix of close ups and views in his trip reports. He also found places to walk showing how it is possible to find 'quality of way' close to home.

Yes, I agree.  It always surprised me how many walks there are in London when I had always thought of it as a concrete jungle.

Hi all - seems an age since I last posted - work and kids put the skids on my adventures! Just had a week off though and made the time for a few walks to blog about and got lucky with the weather :-) I'll also post some links to related blog posts to see some more pics rather than chuck a load on here!

And finally - I'd been meaning to walk the relatively short York City Walls for some time - but never got round to it - so on a recent visit to York I took an hour or so out to have a wander -and it's a canny good leisurely walk!

Alport Castles: The best view is from lower down the landslip; it's not immediately obvious to find but there is a path. Beware: if it's been raining, the rockslide boulders can be treacherously slippy.

Thanks and yes, the weather was quite erm, dramatic  ??? . I got soaked through about three times and then dried off by the sun again! The wind was crazy too later on. I didn't see any rainbows though (other than one when I got back into Sheffield early evening).

Don't photographers normally take pictures not models? And I'm not sure how we are going to convince the subjects that generally appear in the photos here to relax their muscles as they tend to be quite stony faced.

I never tire of this view of Ullswater - it's stunning whatever the season - but in Autumn the colours are amazing. This is one of my best views in the Lakes and is taken near Hind Crag on a recent walk to Gowbarrow Fell. If your interested where exactly the view is - I've included the walking route map below with a star to show exactly where this spot is (On Hind Crag quite near to Aira Force) And I have a blog post here for further info about the walk if your really interested :-)  (https://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/some-of-the.html)https://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/some-of-the.html (https://stuarthodgson.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/some-of-the.html)

When you see how good Beefy is at placing a stove on a flat surface is  (or not, pot fell of stove today, I told him it wasn't flat but he wouldn't listen  :D) you will realise him knitting me undies would be a non starter  :)

Morning everyone, here's a few from a quick walk I did on Stanage Edge yesterday. I went expecting ice on the roads (which I got) but about 20 mins before I got to Hathersage it had snowed for about 30 mins solid so a lot of the area had a half inch covering. On arriving, there were three further squalls which made the walk to High Neb really good - The whole of the Edge was SLICK with ice

This photo from my walk on Saturday comes with a bit of a story / speculation for any Lord of the Rings fans out there:

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4613/26489322118_df6595720f_z.jpg)

This is Moira furnace, or at least the remains of it in the middle of the mining village of Moira Derbyshire.
While theres no mention of any link with the Mines of Moria from LOTR in the visitors centre at all or anywhere else I can find, it is on the direct route Tolkien would have travelled from his home at Sarehole Mill to Breedon on the Hill (another sort of LOTR name there) while he was researching Beowulf which was written by the local Abbot there.
I dont think it too much of a jump of imagination to say this is more than likely to be part of the inspiration for one of my favorite works of literature.

Splendid pic Tom. I've just read your excellent TR; The path you couldn't find pretty much follows the snow line on the edge in your picture then descends the broad ridge to the Llyn. It's possible that you couldn't find it cos it was obscured by the snow.


It soon picks up a good farm track (Maybe the one you drove up) but before the road a path crosses a bridge to return to the tea room. There's also another path that descends steeply to the other side of the Llyn, but IIRC it's very wet underfoot on that side..


It's a superb little walk. Try it again on a summer's day and do the loop. It probably won't be any busier either...

Thank you very much Hillhiker, in all honesty, it was too windy, and icy for me to contemplate getting that close to the edge. I do plan on going back later in the year and doing the whole loop.

I didn't go that far up, the DVHW just skirts the bottom of Ladybower. I don't think it's that low yet though.


 I'm not sure how much of the village is visible these days; I know that the church steeple has collapsed...I have an old picture somewhere from a hot summer in the early 80's of a chimney stack, which has also gone (I think).

Figured this was worth a share. This is Parker Lake in the Eastern Sierras from our recent trip to California. A wonderful hike up to the lake at 8,309ft elevation. We saw three other people on the way (and two dogs!) and then we had the entire lake to ourselves (apart from the VERY friendly ducks!) for the couple of hours we were there. Absolutely magical.

Honestly couldn't go wrong mate, it just WAS that pretty! Even though my phone photo doesn't really do it justice. In the far corner of the valley there's a frozen waterfall too, but you can't really see it in the image. Hands down the most beautiful spot I've been to.

Loving the crane pic!  O0


Thank you both. The crane is no longer in use, the small dock doesn't receive boats any more, but the crane is useful to add interest to a photo.


My photo's are not up to the standard of some of the more experienced photographers, I have a small point and shoot Cannon ixus 185 which is adequate for the blog. I am not familiar with complicated editing programmes, I just use the crop for getting rid of dead space around the edges, tweak the colour slightly, and tweak the contrast to sharpen.

Beautiful - love the way that Anglesey is all laid out in front of you. And the clouds are doing something a bit weird.



I think that I spy the Wicklow Mountains silhouetted against the setting sun.
EDIT - no - the direction is all wrong. Could be the Mourne Mountains though - I have certainly seen them from the Great Orme in the past.

I had a good 10 mile walk around Eyam Moor and Bretton Clough yesterday looking for good spots to crash for the next Meteor shower / clear starry night - the Moor is excellent for access when you've got a couple of cameras to lug, as parking's so close, but because the weather was so marginal I decided to take just my new mobile phone - And heres one of the results, a view from the Rock Basin looking across the Moor to Win Hill and Bamford Edge

 ;D IM, I shall explain!

Where I live there are a lot of garden birds come to feed at my bird café. Including robins. A few years ago there was a baby robin that I called Fluffy because it was all fluffy. When it got older I couldn't tell which robin was Fluffy so I now call every robin I see "Fluffy". So there is a Derwent Water Fluffy, Seatoller Fluffy, Hope Park Fluffy, Great Wood Fluffy..... you see it all makes sense now :D

Possibly way off topic for this forum but it is my best pic of the day .......... It was actually taken some time ago but only came across it earlier this week.


For those of a musical ear it is Dave Gilmour's iconic Black Strat.
Taken at an exhibition called ' Their mortal remains ' the strat is obviously the focus of the pic and on the wall behind it there is a photo of it in use.


For all those who ever listened to any of his playing which sent you into raptures (think Comfortably Numb) - you may appreciate this.
Incidentally Mrs I, didn't come into this exhibition and she doesn't see the point of a pic of any old black guitar  :o

Went for a stroll on a local GR-path, leading through small villages and unto the woodland known as the Sonian Forest (in English, in Dutch it's Zoniënwoud). We did have stormy weather yesterday though, and the wary winds came sooner than expected so I was kind of relieved to get out of the forest.

I was a bit put off at the start near to Church Strettton what with pay car parks, gift shop, numerous cabins & lots of people, along side the stream..seemed all a bit too cultivated. How ever I now see why it is so popular around there & anyway up in the hills it felt more isolated. I agree beautiful indeed.

Rob, It was a good walk but bitterly cold on the tops particularly with the wind.
The photo was taken with a Sony RX100. It's a composite of 4 shots stitched together in Lightroom as a panorama. It can take panoramas internally but they're stored as JPGs and don't come out as well IMO.

A few from my recent trip round Mellbreak and Hen Comb. All of which was actually tougher than I expected. The descent off Mellbreak was pretty hair raising at times, particularly as we came down a pretty horrible steep gulley at lirst. I don't think I'll descend with way again. :o

I love that cliff photo and the path looks amazing!

If I might contribute a photo taken last week in Scotland...

(http://www.cruisingmates.co.uk/coppermine/albums/userpics/10054/The_Fiddler.jpg)

This was taken at the summit of Sgurr an Fhidhleir (the Fiddler) in the Coigach region just north of Ullapool. Despite its modest height of just over 700m, the views from the top were truly spectacular. Just a few feet in front of my wife there's a mind-boggling sheer drop of about 500m, but the ascent from the other direction is easy. Having said that, getting to the start involves a 20 mile drive along single-track roads!

Yes as I guess you know, it is not far from Pen Y Fan and is a beaut to walk around and even take in after walking up Pen Y fan as did myself and family last year.

Or just to spend a few hours walking up one side & down the other of the Caerfanill river. There must be around 6/8 falls as you walk upstream. Needs to be light cloud or sunny to get some nice pics, if you are into that. The waterfalls are lovely. :)


At  SO061200 way up above Blaen Y Glyn there is a plane wreckage ( I have yet to go up there myself) .

Quote   Here is the wreckage of a WWII Wellington Bomber which crashed here on 6th July, 1942. All five of the Canadian aircrew were killed in the crash, and there is a memorial to them on the site. One of the engines can be found lower down in a gully. There is no path to speak of from this point....

Fair enough.  I've been to places where conservative dress is appropriate outside of "tourist areas" but still got tapped up in the hotel by the porter asking me if I wanted a f..  so seeing images of young girls posing provocatively just makes me cringe at the message they're sending out.

On what was a pretty dull day, this was probably my best shot this weekend. I snapped this view looking south above Ullswater from the west side of Gowbarrow. A last minute change of plan due to parking issues meant I should not have seen this, as it wasn't my planned route. funny how things work out sometimes.

Thanks Paul, I did really enjoy this walk. For three little fells in this area, they provide some lovely views, and I got quite an adventure too  O0

We walked from Lulworth Cove to Tyneham and then inland to Corfe Caste last week.  Got to be one of the steepest areas for ups and downs on the entire SWCP.

A waterfall in a local woodland from a family wander two weeks ago. Yes, it actually happened that we had spare time & weather on a weekend with my kids!

I was out walking in the Pendle area yesterday, it was very cold and gloomy, with freezing fog at low level all day. It was extremely wet underfoot, unpleasantly so TBH. I took a few pics in the fog,but none were very good,but I managed to get this one a little higher up toward Beacon Hill where the fog had thinned a little..

I had a good couple of hours on my first day off from nights, so after rolling out of bed at midday I went for a walk up a cold, gloomy and frosty Combs Dale above Calver - I decided to climb out of the steep sided Dale into the sun and found myself at the Oary Stones - a place that COULD have been a genuine limestone pavement if the lay of the land was just a little bit more different.

It's good enough going to Wales for a few days for your birthday. It's also good when you get a bit of a sunrise. But when you have snow on the mountain tops, at sunrise, on your birthday, I don't think it's gets much better!!

I meant the statue (embarrassed smiley) but thank you.

I am making sure that I do go out for a walk each day away from people but the reduction in social contact due to cancellation of everything is quite difficult to cope with. The thought of not hugging my family for months, they live away and won't be visiting, is pretty dismal but at least I have them to talk to on the phone.

Thankyou Richard and Paul.  There's plans to complete the footpath right to the summit, was supposed to be done this year but I guess will be delayed a while now.  So if you want the full 'Criffel experience' ( ! )  you may have to make it soon.

Thanks Paul and Richard.  The wood to the west is Cow Pasture Wood, the one to the east is Cark Shaws and to the south is Lane Park Wood.  They were a lot lovelier two years ago before the Holker Estate harvested over 3,000 tonnes of trees.  That track through Seven Acres was lined by stacks of lumber up to 15 feet high.  >:(

Anyone have any tips on taking landscape photography (especially with a camera phone).  My images quite often end up a little flat looking or lack interest.  Anyone do any post picture processing?


Anyways here's a picture from the top and one from the bottom of the Dunstable Downs from yesterdays walk.

The best times of day for landscape photos are early and late, during the golden hour. At midday, the sun is too strong and the shadows too short. Our brain translates the scene into something more than it is, as most of us like the warmth and blue sky, but the middle of the day is generally worst time For this type of photography.
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: richardh1905 on 18:29:36, 24/08/20
I do some basic image editing of my phone landscape shots, but I guard against overdoing it.


- Firstly, I rotate the shot to make it level, particularly important if you have the sea on the horizon!
- Sometimes I will crop it, usually to take out some of the sky and foreground, to make the photo more panoramic. Also to get rid of any unwanted telegraph poles, cars, dogs tails, children playing the fool etc at the side of the shot. Also, sometimes I will crop to 'zoom in' on a feature, wildlife etc, but this of course is at the price of losing resolution.
- Then I sometimes adjust the contrast, highlights, shadows, exposure to suit, again tweaking rather than big changes. Same applies to colour and clarity/sharpness - a small tweak can help a bit if the image is lifeless, but looks awful if over done.
- finally, I re-size the image to (usually) 800 pixels wide, for publishing on the web. I keep a copy of the full size edited image, though, in case I want to print it some time in the future.


Nice shots, by the way  :) O0

I was overjoyed at actually getting a parking space at Pen-y-Pass, so I took a celebratory photo.


Also, took the chance to do Snowdon again before the Welsh government make me a persona non grata.  ::)

Thanks. Yes, just coming down off the final hump of Lliwedd. It feels oddly removed from the bustle of Snowdon, and I particularly like the views of the S/E part of the mountain. Serious cliffs on the other side as well!

Yes, the top bit of the Watkin path is quite tiring. In fact the Watkin path is a funny beast all round. The first couple of miles is as gentle a track as any on Snowdon, until you then start to ascend Lliwedd, (when it’s steep), and then onto Snowdon (when it’s steeper, and loose).
In fairness, quite a bit of that final but is stepped now, so it’s not as bad as it was.

Thanks. Yes it does have a spooky feeling to the area .

The tunnel in the distance has a bit of a chequered history as two workmen were killed while repairing brickwork back in the late 70`s.
A shaft filled with rubble collapsed onto them and they were trapped under the water , and In 1964 , two lads were drowned trying to canoe their way through the 1 & 1/2 mile tunnel .

It was the February half term . In those days we didn't get a week, just the Friday and Monday. Rob and Clive left their homes early on the Friday to make the canoe trip through the tunnel. Unfortunately they didn't tell anyone their plans. When they didn't come home that night the  police were called and a search started, but they had no idea where they had gone. There was no news all Saturday, Sunday and Monday. On the Monday night a family returned home from a few days away and learned of their disappearance for the first time. Their son was also a pupil at our school and said that he had happened to see them on the Friday carrying a canoe down to the canal. A search was carried out and they were found. I drive over that bridge at the bottom of Parsons Hill, Kings Norton and always think about them and what they might have achieved had they lived.

That tunnel is fascinating, so I googled it. I found a video taken from a boat going through it. It's surprisingly crowded! I wouldn't volunteer for this.

Thats a great video . !!

I notice it was taken in August , which would account for the amount of boats running through it. Parts of UK canals get very busy with pleasure boating during the holiday months .

When the narrow boats were drawn along by horses in the 1700`s the boats had to be unhitched from them and the crew or professional leggers lay back downwards on planks of wood then legged the boats through by walking along the wall of the tunnels and push the boat through .The horses were walked over land to meet their boat at the opposite portal .  I did read somewhere though that poles were sometimes used to push the boats through...maybe as in Venice.

That was using Snapseed “drama” which gives a surreal, but striking look. I like it, but I can see why many don’t. This is the unfiltered, and uncropped version, which I think the iPhone did quite a good job of considering it’s into the sun.

At times I use a well placed bench and of course especially if it is time to eat and drink . I do have mixed feelings about how many seem to be appearing all over the Countryside though .

I know the area and the road leads to a river that is too deep for most vehicles but it does appear that tractors and extra large vehicles use it occasionally as far as I can see .The first time I came across it was many years ago , when walking with a friend and the route we planned was to go across the ford presuming there would be a foot bridge...we had to change our planned route .. ::)

Pictures of a walk from home though Kingmoor South Nature Reserve, then into Kingmoor North, back into Kingmoor South and then into Kingmoor Sidings , back into Kingmoor South and home. All in Carlisle and in total 12Km from door to door. Should have gone the day before when the trees were heavy with snow and the pics would have been better.

My phone really doesn't do this justice. A view I have seen hundreds of times, but never quite like it was that day. I climbed to the top of fur tor and just sat there for around two hours taking it in.  A guy came past on skis and another two, who where completing the Dartmoor 600s. I hope they got back before the mist rose again and it went dark. I know I had fun finding my car after dark.  Only mist it by 20m or so and fortunately there was a wall to then work back on.  O0

Ronas hill and its hinterland is fantastic.
Here is a friend James Manson walking along the Voe.
He walked with 2 screw drivers in his pockets so he could access the beaches when doing the coast, Mad and Bad, love it !!

So the Ronas Ciffs are more solid mud than rock for climbing down?

The Cliffs are red granite.
The route  down is to follow the burn then use the rope James put there a few years ago as a hand rail.
You are right about the top, the cliffs are slowly peeling away.
When the tide is out you can walk the length of the beach and you will see and hear a constant trickle of dust and grit coming off the cliff like little pink streams.

The bit of fence in the foreground to the right of the gate suggests to me that the gate was there first: although if  no-one involved in placing both the bridge and the gate had any common sense at all then both options are still open.

Yes indeed , or I just had a thought , maybe the bridge was there and a wooden stile had broken , with that fence  being part of the original stile .

Maybe the policy being all stiles are replaced with steel gates eventually . But because the small tree is in the way and budget restrictions or conservation regs` etc...it ended up like a dogs dinner ... :-\

It tells a bit more about policy, the design of the wide kissing gate is so wheelchair users can get through and councils who have signed up to a policy to bring their footpaths up to this level of access. Perhaps policy and implementation is a little scew wiff as well. ;)

err? lefthanded, right handed?  Surely with a circular gate there is no left or right. Aall the contractor had to do was turn it through 180degrees so the upright on which the gate is hinged lies against the broken fence on the right. You would then enter and leave the gate on the right adjacent to the bridge.


Or am I seriously missing something here, like a wink emoji on Fernman's post?

I m having to think about that one . I just got up and my mind is foggy . ;)


I think the gates have to open inward away from the curve of the framework so that would mean they have to be manufactured as right or left hand . not just flipped a 180 degrees.  :o

The whole caboodle - curved fence and gate - can surely be facing any direction. As a circular structure it can be swivelled around it's central point to present the opening wherever it's required. One end of the boundary it replaces will always be at the hinge upright. Irrespective of the actual angle of approach passing through will always execute a 360 degree turn around that boundary.


In fact I think I am overthinking this. Gates are not made left or right handed just erected left or right opening. Adding a curved fence makes no difference though opportunities for kissing is a plus ;)

I think I understand Jac  and G&P though I struggled to work it out when I first looked at it.


If you spin the whole thing so that the gate hinge is next to the fence with the tree in it then it would line up with the bridge OK. But it isn't round it is teardrop shaped so putting it there could mean that the wide bit would overhang the river unless you moved it in to the field a bit and extended the fence on the left side towards us.


I hope that makes it clearer as I've just re-read it and even I barely understand what I mean!
Title: Re: My best pic of the day
Post by: GnP on 09:49:27, 28/02/21
Gates on their own can be hung any side for sure .
And kissing can be done anywhere..well within reason .  8)

I`m sure these contraptions can face any direction also but think about where the exit of them is . That needs consideration also .  :o
Fernman mentioned them being designed for wheel chairs but I am looking at it and methinks the space looks very tight ...

Ridge this is taxing my brain power..and so early on a Sunday too...are there any engineers in the house please .
I think we need to rearrange the field , hedges , sheep and deer ... it would all work very fine .  :coolsmiley:

:) I think I got the spelling wrong, on reflection perhaps Squew Whiff. The topsy turvy thinking and administration behind access hold many more anomalies on another topic I started I find a beautiful stone river bridge, just a glimpse on Google Earth, lying redundant on the course of a disused railway line. In an area crying out for more public access.
Here a council purchases oversize structures to allow for the policy of wheelchair access, yet they fail to install them to function properly, a photograph that captures so much, a cartoonist could have great fun with. When I first saw these oversized kissing gates I thought they were to cater for the increased national weight average, as a result of imported American eating habits.  ;D Wasn't till I was a member of a LAF that I learnt of the need to place wheelchair access in the most extraordinary places so as not to be seen to be non PC.

My wife's wheelchair (electric) would be a very tight fit through the gate, (if it went at all), it's 1350mm from front to back, and it wouldn't get onto the bridge without a ramp.

Left or right hand? Just flip the curved part downside up.

Skew wiff, it comes from "askew weft",  a weaving term, it almost explains itself knowing the origins and the original wording.

Askew weft...wonderful  O0
So if the correct hand gate had been ordered . As you say framework flipped upside down .

The wire meshing would have to be welded on opposite (bottom) edge also . Presumably that is there to stop sheep or such like trying to squeeze out. Then the tree and hedging to the right of bridge would need to be cleared out . It would work yes ?I guess as Fernman said it was a bit of a mess up from original order to delivery .

Especially if it was planned to erect it on a Friday .. :)

Yes, that’s a lovely shot.


Can’t help thinking how nice the hill must have been over the last few days. These clear skies and cold temps give amazing air clarity.  I did a few walks in the Lakes in November/December 2019 when we had a similar spell of weather, and there were some of the clearest skies/longest views I’ve ever seen in the UK.

When walking up garden from henhouse, the big orange sun ball was sitting on the horizon, came into house for camera and a couple of minutes later arrived back as only the top of the ball was visible!

Just enjoyed a superb leg of lamb, minted crab apple jelly from last autumn to round off a magic combination of flavours. My lambing started beginning of January, mostly indoors, so the sight of the scrawny little bodies we drew out of the labouring ewes, energetically stonking in the spring sunshine is a sight to lift spirits.

Pied piper reminds me of the time walking Tyne Way when sheep from three fields came trotting across to meet me, guess they thought it was feed time.

Great shots, G&P


We had a cottage below the northern slopes of Cadair booked for a week last year - cancelled because of Covid, of course.

I paid a visit to Dolgoch falls while working nearby years ago and vowed to go back and spend more time one day . So I took my family while staying near Barmouth .

I never dreamed that the area around Arthog would be so very lovely though . That area made the holiday for me . !

There was heavy rain most days but the with sunny spells there were rainbows galore and it was all so very photogenic . :)

I think that you will need them, Briony - high winds and more snow on the fells tomorrow, better day Thursday - but very cold. Might see if I can get out myself, somewhere not too steep! And I'll hunt out the crampons....


Stay safe. :)

A couple of photos from a excellent and varied walk up the Troutbeck valley to Threshthwaite Mouth and then on to Thornthwaite Crag, descending down the Roman Road to complete a circumnavigation of Troutbeck Tongue!


(https://i.ibb.co/QCnpBHz/15-South-From-Threshthwaite-Mouth.jpg)
The view south through the clearing clouds towards Troutbeck Tongue from Threshthwaite Mouth (pronounced 'Threshut', with a 't' so soft as to be almost silent), meandering Trout Beck glistening in the winter sun.


(https://i.ibb.co/McB3f7W/33-Winter-Afternoon-Sunlight.jpg)
Looking back towards Troutbeck Tongue, Stony Cove Pike and the Ill Bell ridge from south of Long Green Head farm. The colours in the late afternoon winter sun were absolutely gorgeous. The day hadn't looked so promising when I set off from Troutbeck though, even Troutbeck Tongue was completely obscured by low cloud. This of course made the beautiful views later in the day all the more appreciated.


This was my first time up the lovely Troutbeck valley, which, judging by the indistinct path, isn't visited often, and is all the better for it.

Walking back to the car after an aborted climb to Pen Y Fan from Cefn Cwm Llwch. Low cloud with snow, cold and extremely windy , so the wind chill was a tad too much for me . Mountain forecast was cold but full on sun  :o

The mountain will still be there another day . :)

Yew trees are amazing. I'm lucky enough to have lots of mixed native woodland containing some beautiful yew trees nearby - the limestone seems to favour them. Whitbarrow above the A590, and Yewbarrow above Grange over Sands have some fine examples.

Not much of a morning for a walk and I found an interesting tutorial for GIMP online so a little play around with some maps and came up with this;

Thats a cool composite. It would be even cooler if the lettering was of a old map form the same area.

It is all letters are taken from the Mansel Lacy sheet that underlays that area with minimum public access. The Mansell Lacy exclusion zone is 11 square miles approx of the Hereford countryside without any public rights of way.

Thanks for the comment, I think yesterday evening I got the wrong meaning of your suggestion. Learning a creative process is always an interesting journey as with walking. How this graphic can fit into a storyline I don't yet know,

it is free to use by anyone who wishes to download it from the image hosting site.
Presumably you have checked that the people who own the copyright for the maps are OK with that.

Lovely memories of wind-sculpted Juniper trees there, looking back on missed opportunities, I should have spent more time just photographing the large and small bushes in their rocky settings. Walking with Mrs BWW and not hungering for the tick list we veered South East to descend on Grasmere's south shore. Happy memories awakened by your photo.

Title: Guiting Power in the Cotswolds
Post by: GnP on 19:10:17, 30/03/23
Near Guiting Power in the Cotswolds today .

It is more than just a wall isn`t it. I love the structure and always think about the skill and labour put into building these . I was watching a guy repairing a section of the wall further along the field .

On the estate I walked on part of my walk , it was mostly authentic stone walls with well maintained stiles , sign posts and gates .
Then I entered farm land where all the walls were in disrepair and barbed wire and posts had replaced them in front . I guess it represents profitability and/or priorities . They must be extremely costly to replace . No judgment from me just observation .  O0

And nearing the end of my 10 mile walk in the Cotswolds. Nothing outstanding but a really lovely feel to this spot . Especially when the sun shone and things warmed up .

Very impressed how people look after their gardens along lanes near river, always leaves a good impression.

I know what you mean . I walked with the intention of visiting it again . My family were with me back in 2019 . However this time what with the heat and concern about lack of water I just snapped it from up near the Cambrian way and carried on back to Llanthony priory .

This is inside back in 2019 with my daughter. Look at all the crazy angles at the end of the church .

I really like the pebbles.
Whenever I attempt similar there is always a blank spot, a dark bit or stray leaf or stalk that I hadn't noticed when taking it which totally ruins the overall pattern >:(

A few photos of Grey Mare's Tail from my recent walk around Moffat Dale, for those that haven't read my blog. Possibly the best waterfall in Britain, certainly one of the best.

I took the photo from the south western shoulder of Andrewhinney Hill, with the yawning gulf of Moffat Dale separating me from Grey Mare's Tail. The loch above is Loch Sween, although I think that the majority of the water flowing over the falls comes from a high valley to the SE, between White Coomb and Mid Craig, off to the left in the first photo, and shown in the third. The burn coming down from here certainly appears to be the bigger of the two, when you study satellite imagery.

Isn`t it great to view something nice in a photo that was not planned at the time of taking.

It is.

I tend to take two kinda of photos: shots that record the walk – hills/features from different directions as the day progresses, points of interest, etc. – and "proper" photos: views, high or low, that grab me. ime, panoramas rarely work; but this one did – at least for me – for the reason you state: it surprised me.

When I looked more closely, I saw so much more than I did at the time. Rather than listing everything, here's an annotation of the image. I love that Binsey snuck in there, and Grasmoor too.

This photo popped up on my screen this morning as a random screen-saver from April 2019. Feeling rather sad at the news from the Powys CC Countryside Services about the Fron Bridge I noticed the Outlines of the Breiddens on the far right of the skyline.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53165968021_ad61f76534_k.jpg) (http://)P1040108 (https://flic.kr/p/2p16u24) by Barewirewalker (https://www.flickr.com/photos/barewirewalker/), on Flickr

As this viewpoint is on the route that a Shropshire extension of the Cheshire Sandstone Trail would take if common sense was applied to access and  I had photographed the line of a route to take a walker over the Maginnis Bridge, another ridiculous anomaly, that adds to the sorry state the demise of the Fron Bridge denies some of the best Corridors of Countryside beyond the reach of route planners.

It brightened my morning to remember some of the delightful moments of off-piste that I have enjoyed with Mrs BWW as have discovered this knowledge.

I have headed West from my village a few times recently, it's been a less active year for me as we moved house and had a kid  :o  so it's an area I've not explored and I was greeted with this little view and a nice oak. I have walked for hours without crossing paths with a single soul, which is a shame seeing the area not used, most dog walkers head to the easier local fields or woodland and I can see why... one path started with a heavily ploughed field up to the hedgerows, and another was blocked by a maize field, which faces you after you've crawled though overgrown brambles and stingers, and that's with it being on the Limestone Link too (a 36 mile footpath that connects the Mendips with the Cotswolds). As an aside, if anyone knows how you can find out which fields belong to which farms, that would be great, some farms are clearly more welcoming than others!

I have used several ways. If you can identify the right sort of people in the local community. It is rather more important to develop the right sort of cover story to extract the information. Maize might be easier because the use of fodder maize is usually local and the farm enterprise reliant on it is fairly obvious.

Field reference numbers are recognised by DEFRA and are they subject to the Freedom of Information Act? Perhaps some other with a more legalistic mind than mine might be able to answer.

You'd think it would be easy, surely farmers would find it handy for locals to know who owns what, so livestock issues or damages can be quickly reported. I would like to know what most farmers thought of footpaths, I can't imagine they would go as far and grow certain crops or plough land to dissuade walkers!!! I'm sure I'll learn bits and bobs through osmosis in the coming months and years.

This semi-permeable membrane is quite a complex structure. Bear in mind the rise in agricultural land value from under Ł50/acre around 1950 to over Ł10,000/acre in the last decade and the allowances against capital transfer tax for agricultural businesses. Hereditary landowners have gone to great lengths to disguise themselves as farmers over the last 40 years. With the reduction of the farm workforce,  it is more difficult to identify a real farmer. No surprise the owners of the land are camouflaged by corporate ownership, yet the families are still known to those who have lived in the area long enough. The demise of the village pub makes rural sleuthing more difficult.

Now funerals are the places I can grab a titbit or two   8)

Interesting stuff! Well we still have one of those rarities, but we've not dipped our toes in there just yet in eagerness not to draw the eyes of the 'locals' or 'regulars'. Perhaps it's about time I grab a pint, find a quiet corner and observe my surroundings.

I walked around the top of Bredon Hill in the Cotswolds, Monday. The wind was frenzied at times, yet I enjoyed the high winds more than I usually do.

These pics make it look positively balmy.

It was mesmerising, listening to the trees shaking the last of their leaves off. It can be a real pleasure if well insulated from the cold.

Thanks Tomri, I was tempted to have a swing.
If the old wives tale comes true about abundant berries then we are in for a hard winter. The verdant colours and the amount of berries just appear deeper and more than ever to me. O0

From the path up Sour Howes yesterday as the sun was rising. The Coniston and Langdale fells looming over the inversion, and a touch of snow on what I presume is Scafell.

I started my walk on Thursday from here, Pershore Abbey in the county of Worcestershire. It had been fifteen years since I was here before, at that time I was invited up into the bell tower and took photos while the bell ringers were in action. I felt privileged at the time but felt like an imposter as the guy who invited me seemed to think I was on some sort of editorial assignment. !

Thursday was not a great day for a walk as right from the start on the banks of river Avon the ground was soddened and muddy even though the sun shone throughout. I persevered for seven mile until I could stand it no more and bailed out by walking along a main road back to where I started. I still enjoyed it however because I spent an hour afterwards looking around and inside the Abbey.

I particularly like your last Bredon Hill photo, GnP.


There is a satisfaction to be had from going out in strong winds, exhilarating. Used to revel in it in Orkney.

Drive up Weardale to Cowgreen Reservoir on deserted roads, patches of snow on tops, clouds hanging low across hills, fresh, no wind, no rain!
Park up, walk down to Caldron Snout, reservoir looking full, River Tees flowing over dam looks a tremendous bright cream colour against gloomy skies.
Plenty of water noisily flowing down Snout, rocks slippy!

Having never walked up the Pony track, I would like to agree. Alas the only view I have seen from the Aręte is cloud and snow. Hopefully I can change that this year.

This is one of the many old mine working sites in area, GnP, known as Bollihope Common, just above the village of Frosterley, Co Durham. Famous for Frosterley Marble found in Durham Cathedral, and some huge deserted quarries. Often in summer water goes underground so you can have a different walking experience, for about 200 metres, along floor of Burn and up waterfalls, seeing ‘marble’ in situ.
Coming westwards along Weardale Way passing through White Kirkley Farm, alongside Bollihope Burn, lovely riverside walk (burnside walk?) created for railway line, passing caves, remnants of kilns, lakes... instead of following Weardale Way turning left walk over bridge to enter the site of photograph! Really surprised by lack of water in there.

That is Hooker Lake, the grey bit in the valley beyond the lake is the Hooker Glacier and the lump with the snow on it is Mt Cook.  From time to time the glacier will calve but we we not lucky enough to see it happen. Here is another shot

I had a funeral to attend in Bedford the other day.  Took the opportunity for an evening stole along the, very high, river Ouse.  I had to curtail my route, as the tarmac footpath was under water in places.

If I had subscribed to Photoshop or other paid-for slide-making software a transition such as page-turning a map into a view would be done at the touch of a button, I did buy Proshow and was fortunate enough to upgrade to Producer. Sadly the software company went into liquidation, and then Microsoft cleaned out my program folder. replacing it with a list of links to reload the programs, Ha Bl""dy Ha! I lost many interesting transitions. >:(

Fortunately, there are Open Source programs and I eventually settled on Shotcut. However, the transitions do not include 'Page-Turns'. It has been a long journey teaching myself how to make them. :)

Fun but a bit 1980/90's  I used to enjoy playing about with that sort of thing using my Amiga and Light Studio hardware.  I had sliders on the console and could do them real time between shows in our little TV studio on HMS Illustrious.  Fun evenings, for someone stuck mid ocean somewhere on our fine planet. Better than watching in the Mess, for me anyway I was never a drinker.

I couldn't switch a PC on till 2004. When you were on HMS Illustrious I was learning how to make products to decorate Pubs as an alternative to Farm Management, all self-taught.
Learning how to add blue screen to green screen and use it in a timeline has been good fun and an interesting way to go back through my old walks and one up on Microsoft who stripped out my paid-for software as I am now able to do it for free, greedy gits. ;D
