Nice pics.
I'm off there on the 10th. Bit worried about the weather. Good to see that you can still get some lovely pics with gray skies.

What a cracking set of photo's, numbers 3, 7, 12 are my favourites, but I love the rushing clouds in number 9.

The Lake District is a fantastic place, I might venture across there over the bank jolly weekend, here's a couple of shots from my last trip there...

1. Kirk Fell & Great Gable from Wasdale



2. Summit of Scafell Pike looking down on Derwentwater and Skiddaw



3. Eagle flying over the summit of Scafell Pike

Beautiful stuff Paul...struggling to pick a favourite.

Very nice indeed. Do you mind me asking what setup you use, particularly the lens? Most of my landscapes are taken using a Sigma 10-20EX, but I never seem to be able to get the pictures looking as punchy as yours.

Thanks chaps.

Canon 50D with Sigma 10-20mm and some with ND110 to get the milky water / rushing clouds.

Amazing photos, from both of you. Getcarter your pictures are always a joy.

Some stunners there Steve. I also went to Buttermere but it was lashing down. Will be definitely go and try again though, love the place.

Steve, where was pic #3 taken?

[GetCarter]

Half way round Crummock Water looking towards Loweswater (on the road between Buttermere and Cockermouth)

ETA - I recommend The Kirkstile Inn next time anyone is there: http://www.kirkstile.com/ Great beer brewed on the premises and decent food (and they use some of my photos on their beer bottles!)

I aim to do that regularly, but then struggle to get out of my pit when the alarm goes off!

Some beautiful shots there gents, I'm off there in June for a week to Coniston and Keswick and a couple of days in May.

Make sure you do the 'quiet' lakes... Loweswater, Crummock & Buttermere. SO much nicer than the 'LOUD' ones!
