descending Pen-y-ghent

[Singing snapper]

Decided to grab a CSC - Sony NEX C3 with two lenses as often when the weather is bad I walk without a camera which means I have to rely on my iphone for photos if conditions change. The Sony is just about small enough with the 18 - 55 E mount to put in my inside pocket of my Gore Tex coat, so is a great alternative camera. Today a friend and I made our way just a few miles to the east to climb Pen-y-Ghent from Horton in Ribblesdale and the clag was forecast to be down so I took this camera with me.

Nothing to see from the summit at all when we got there but it started to open out a bit as we descended:

As we reached the bottom, quite a few sheep were quite curious and interested in posing:

This decided he wanted to show me his better side as he bleated and turned around:

I don't know if it's the lighting conditions or the kit but the black and white shots seem to lack the punch that the landscape deserves , I know that when you load images onto this site they do tend to loose a bit of their clarity so may be it's just that .

I'm not so sure about the black and white conversion on the first two but do like the compositions. I love the sheep photos though, they look great in colour and the sheep seem to have real attitude lol. I like their pose and they seem to be staring right at you.
