Haven't posted much lately, mainly due to work and then after work a few big photo projects that don't really meet this forums remit: more photo-journalism based.
Still one from a week or two ago that does. It is (obviously) a blend.
28mm @ FF @ sunset at Stanage
Aperture @ F11
Shutter varying between 1/15 down to 1/2 second. 7 shots.
Believe it or not, hand braced against a rock - Tripod wouldn't sit stable in desired position.
It's hard with the forum to get the jpeg file compression of blends like this under 200Kb simply as they contain so much information: UKNP may look at the file size issue again soon. This is compressed at 5 out of 12 to do so.

The people do not really stand out for me, Tom, although they may have done so more had I been looking at a larger image. I think I might also be inclined to cut a bit off the foreground, it is that gorgeous sky that really makes this image for me.

I am no expert on landscape but the sky does look beautiful in this image

That sure is a lovely sky you've captured here
Oh dear, I hope you don't alter the upload size cos I've been busy resizing all my photos ready to upload on here, I just checked and I have 349 all ready and waiting and another couple of hundred to do so could you please hold back any alterations for about 2 years lol
It's taken me hours so far
Nice photo Tom.
Geoff.

Love the array of patterns and colours in the sky.

A fine image! got to compress images from my 7D a lot too

Beautiful composition

Like others the sky is amazing. The compression seems to have taken its toll on the presentation though (I'm seeing lots of funny square patterns in certain places on the shot). The composition is nice although I would love to see more luminance in the heather.

Hi Tom, living in Notts I was up here a couple of weeks ago with the family but in poor light. the biggest compliment I can give you is that I'm sitting here really wishing I was there now, sitting on the edge watching that beautiful sun go down.
Thanks for the replys, I have played with a crop and would agree that it looks better with a crop of the bottom.
Unfortunately there was a mistake with the image capture (Ian's spot on) that means it will never be used large in anger. At the time of taking the shutter speeds appear high but I put this (uncomfortably) down to it being directly pointed at the sun. My unease was justified later (at home) when I realised that I had left the camera on 2400 ISO
This means the chrom-noise was high and unrecoverable - well beyond what I would accept for any public use save a web image - and this didn't help the jpeg compression.

Stunning!

So this is the 'M-job' at work I take it - I'd really like to eyeball the 300 dpi.
Looks like the 28mm is rectilinear, that and no weight means envy doth reside here

Learning point: trust your initial instinct ...
Oh well.
