Nice place for pics is Loweswater - get your DSLR's up here! (Just make sure you order sun on the menu).

Absolutely beautiful, once again, Steve.

Mighty impressed with location, photographer and dedication to getting up at the crack of dawn for the light...

I think I've stumbled onto something here!

I'm off to Scotland next Wednesday for 8 days armed with my cameras / lenses and tripod to capture what Steve seems to capture very well! Some very nice pics there!

Can you give me some hints as to the best places to visit?

Any advice much appreciated.

Loweswater is in the Lake District, West of Keswick off the road which loops through the slate quarry & Buttermere.

Second one is lovely. I don't seem to have an eye for landscapes, though hopefully ths will improve in NZ... if I can't any good ones there I will have to sell the camera and flip burgers at McDonalds!

Must confess I'm crap at landscapes. Or is it that the landscapes around here are crap? I'd prefer the latter but I suspect the former!

Almost certainly the latter. (It's that 70% subject and light thing again - it took me 30 years to get to live somewhere proper pretty and I regret not doing it MUCH earlier).

edited to add.. We all see landscape photographers that really know what they are doing, and the results are simply stunning - but they are there all the time, waiting for the light, knowing the places. (70%)

I hope you are right, but I'm not so sure. A recent trip to devon in the beautiful little village of Bransombe with loveley scenery all around and the best I could manage was this:



Now this has been a little over processed I think, as I was messing around with a Velvia action script in PS, but it's representative of the best landscape I've ever taken... And it's taken portrait format!!

Yea... but you were there... and I doubt I would have taken a better pic... and I was here, so had a little more to work with!
