Back in the Lake District for a few days before Christmas. The bad weather has been following me up here nearly every trip. Another damp day today, but did manage to get some shots:

Under Loughrigg looking towards Ambleside:

Nikon D800 Nikkor 24 - 70 at 24mm f/8 1/13 ISO 50




About a mile further up the road:

66mm f/11 1/60 ISO 50




with a touch of sepia in Silver efex pro2




The stepping stones overtaken by water:

f/14 24mm 1/13 ISO 50




One advantage of the winter is that it is possible to do traffic trails along the road as the sun sets before the roads get too quiet:

At Rydal:

f/22 24mm 6 secs ISO 50




Just outside Ambleside

24mm f/16 30 secs ISO 50




And a few exposure fused in Photomatix

f/11 ISO 100 All 30 secs

...snap... These Nikon rigs are huge and very heavy so the temptation persists.

2 days ago I was street shooting with my 1D3 and 24-70L. I didn't take my black rapid strap and I don't use the neck strap on my cameras, only wrist strap. Needless to say, two streets down the road my wrist felt like it's going to break off clean of my arm... even K-7+grip+FA*28-70 never felt that way...for now though, the results are worth it...as much as I feel nostalgic about Pentax, the larger sensor argument prevails...

Had a wander across to North Yorkshire with the missus but it was wet and miserable and the waterfalls I wanted to look at were too full. Hid under an overhang at West Burton and shot sideways keeping out of the rain.

Also playing with another from Venice. Given up on trying to straighten any lines from these shots as there isn't a straight wall in Venice.

love the waterfall Mark!

Cheers - it was the only shot I managed all day. Rain, rain, rain.

Infuriated by the ability of the weather to be clear and dry at night but damp all day, but surprised by the number of pictures I took today. I'm happy with many of these either in colour or black and white. Feel free to let me know which you prefer! Sorry for the sheer number of these!

And well after the sun had gone down - in fact to the naked eye it was dark. The blue light is a fire engine about to make its way down Great Langdale
