Lake District

[kcon]

I'm off to the lake district tomorrow, does anyone have any tips for shooting landscapes? should i use the landscape setting or should i go on manual? i have a circular polarizer so that should help

I'd go on manual mode, play around with the settings, and learn what works. Take some test shots, look at your histogram, adjust the settings as needed, then re-shoot. You'll soon learn how everything fits together.

Take a tripod if you have one and it's not too much hassle.

Have fun in the Lakes. It's a fantastic place, and I'm really looking forward to going again.

A CPOL and tripod are essential; watch your skies, make sure you don't blwo them out. Bring your wide glass, shoot wide angle, but not so wide as to cause distortion. Consider panramas. Watch your foreground/background, look for things out of place (eg a tree that appears to grow out of something else as a result of parallax error). Good luck.
