Yorkshire Dales

by Graham Brown

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted August 2, 2015124 views9 comments

In spring areas of the Yorkshire Dales are covered in buttercups. This was taken on one of those ideal landscape days,  often stormy skies but periods when the sun broke through.

Canon 7D, Canon 24-105mm, 1/100th sec at f16 and iso 100. Two images stitched together to form a panorama.

Beautiful scene. Great color and the rainbow is a great bonus. Maybe burn down the barn roof on the right edge a bit? Extremely minor, though. Lovely scene.

Beautiful storm light, with a rainbow to top off the scene. Good job on stitching the two images to create this panorama.

How neat to catch a rainbow in a stitched panorama.  The lighting on the foreground is great and the rainbow adds some fine extra interest to the stormy skies.

Striking yellow-grey contrast and a rainbow on top - nice!

Beautiful light, and very well captured. Love that stone wall in the foreground, with those authentic houses. Very idyllic photo!

A wonderful bucolic landscape. I really like how you used the wall, tree line, and rainbow to generate this peaceful layered image. These long horizontal lines reinforce the sense of peace. Reminds me of Ireland for some reason, even though I've never been there. The bottom layer with all those small individual flowers provides an important base. Nice job.

Lovely scene with great color. I agree with Harley about that roof. The rainbow is a nice touch. I love light like this!

This is a great landscape picture. I think the brown building on the far right can be cropped out.
