The Wirral

Last weekend we travelled to Connah's Quay in North Wales for the PAGB Print Championship.  On the way we spent some time on the Wirral in Birkenhead Park where there was plenty of colour.  Very low light so high ISO was needed.

Thursday in the Lake District

Thursday was a brighter day and we spent most of the daylight hours around Crummock Water.  As usual the sunlight brought out the autumn colours.

The Lakes Day 3

Back to catching up today.

By Wednesday the weather was more overcast and we spent the day walking to and through Manesty Woods.  The picture of Derwentwater was taken with a borrowed 'Big Stopper' Lee Filter.  I had been planning to buy one but when I tried to place an order last month discovered they were not being made at present because of production problems.

Loweswater and Home Wood

The weather wasn't so bright and sunny on our second day in the Lake District so we spent most of the time in Home Wood around Loweswater.  The autumn colours were just right.  I also spent some time on intentional camera movement while photographing the trees.  One of which, when turned into a landscape format, makes an abstract sea and skyscape.
