Peak District
 

Hi All

After a wet week camping around the Peak District, thought I'd ask your opinions of this shot looking towards Highfield.

Know the area well, if not specifically. As shots go, it's not a bad shot - interesting enough view and sky and at least it's naturally without shadow as opposed to, [I]shudder[/I], an HDR'd view. But, like so may landscapes you see, it really needs something else to retain the interest: a better angle on the track, something on the track, an interesting patch of light, some foreground interest, etc. Personally, I might've tried moving over to the right, so the track enters closer to the corner and wanders more diagonally across the image

Hi Markulous

It was taken just down a pathway from Jacobs Ladder, looking towards Highfield.

I can see where your coming from and i did look at various options before I settled on this veiw.:) as the others just didn't look right. It gives me an excuse to go there again and see what else I could have done.

Thanks for the reply:D

PS I hate to say this, but this is a HDR:p image.

LOL! OK, it's not an HDR-as-a-poor-excuse-for-a-poor-shot then! In other words, subtly done and not OTT! :)

Thanks Markulous:D

I've tried a few HDR shots, most of them get binned as they don't look right. This one I liked.

Hi Andy

Nice place and not that far away, may have to have a camping trip down there.:D
