Back in my second home

Back in the English Lake District:


On my way up Loughrigg again, looking towards High Street


Pentax 645D FA 120mm f/16

Having run out of battery power rather too often on long exposures, I got hold of a battery pack and bought a Pentax AC adaptor (although why Pentax charge £140 for this when they sell it in US for $100 makes me a bit niggled). My first attempt at dusk completely overexposed on a 35 minute exposure, and bulb work is often hit and miss which made me grateful for the battery pack! I messed up this shot by kicking the tripod in the last 10 minutes of a 45 minute exposure, but found it interesting how rather than being lit by the moon rising over Loughrigg fell, it could easily have been an afternoon shot:

Along the valley there is a tree that always interests me. The tree is dead but has hatched another tree within its bark. I wanted to use 2 Pentax 540 flashes to isolate the tree but the area around it was completely waterlogged so I had to content myself with my fairly bright torch. This was my test shot, to check focus as it was pitch dark and AF wouldn't function.

I then took the main shot, and here they are in colour and black and white (converted in Silver efex Pro2


Pentax 645D FA 75 f/13 17 minutes, lit with torch for 4 minutes

First image is awesome

4th and 5th images are unwilling to open now!!!!

2nd one is actually overexposed as it was dark! I had the ISO too high. 4th and 5th should open as they still exists on flickr. The area around the tree was completely flooded otherwise I would have used 2 flashes to completely isolate the tree.

I could see all images now; i liek the color variations as well as black and white

A disappointingly damp day in the Lakes today. So not much walking or phototaking done today. This is the main route through Ambleside at dusk:

I really like the first image.
The others are really good, but not to my taste. I photographically don't understand everything I view... Really... It's me.. Not you....

This new post is really cool and blue
