The boating lake at Belton House - always a peaceful spot:

Eerie dim red sun in the mid afternoon after the fog had finally lifted here, it looks more like the moon! I could smell the pollution in the air - from the forest fires in Portugal apparently. I had to darken the sky to capture the colour Pro2/OM200mm at f11 and 1/8000 iso200...

I lived a mile down the road from there for over seven years, and I never went...

I grew up in Cambridge so Anglesey Abbey was the standard-issue visiting place when grandparents/other old rellies came to stay. Hated the place when I was a kid as couldn't think of anywhere more dull. How times change.

Good eye John. Nicely done.

Gromit, your Anglesey Abbey beeches are so beautiful, just sumptuous.

Are you using some kind of a low-level tonemapping? It doesn't look HDR, but it also does slightly.

Just returned from the most amazing weekend in The Peak District. The weather was perfect. Misty mornings followed by golden sunsets. It was a great time to be outdoors. Needless to say I took lots of pictures. I will upload these over the coming days and weeks as I get round to processing them

This image was taken in the early evening, just under Stanage Edge, looking across to Bamford Edge.

You might want to reduce the image size, Amar. That's too big for my 15" lappy!

 

[eternumviti]

Amar, that is just stunning. I am not often quite so captivated by a colour photo.

Thank you for the kond words - I really appreciate it

Apologies Tony - I deliberately wanted to show it a bit bigger as the details can get a bit lost if viewed small due to the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Thanks for the kind comments - I really appreciate it.

As to the processing, I tend to use Color Efex Pro as a plug-in to LRCC, utilising some glow from the portrait set of adjustments. Certainly no HDR, just taking the highlights down overall then brushing some extra exposure to put back highlights where the trees are lit by the sun.

+ 1 to others' comments. Beautiful images Richard

Also very interesting insight into your processing workflow. 'Glow' is something I have recently started playing with in Snapseed when editing my phone images, but it's not something I've experimented with on my 'big camera' shots. I may have to give it a go....
