Kettlewell

[MX5]

Passport and Visa in order we enter Yorkshire ...

Another visit to popular Kettlewell. I wasn't leading this one. The intent was to do Buckden Pike (2303') or at least the monument to Wellington N2848 (w/o 30-Jan-1942) ... but snow meant another route was chosen. This one being just 9 miles.

Quite cold, poor weather most of the time, but when things lit up the glare was quite amazing. A few other people out. Too cold at times to feel inspired (or to be able to operate the camera) so apologies if these don't come up to muster.

Re: Kettlewell

I feel cold and tried just looking at these. Hope you had time for a hot cup of Java.

Nice series even in the cold MX5

Re: Kettlewell

I like 2 and 4 MX, #3 looks a bit dark on my Monitor, the Tractor definitely adds to #2

And there was me thinking Spring had started in the UK.
Nice pictures.

Re: Kettlewell

Nice refreshing pics but the snow puts me off. I think I will vote for #2 as the red tractor draws me to it.

Re: Kettlewell

Thanks everyone.

The bright sky, reflections off snow and everything else dark pushed the 40D (not enough DR?) and even if I used Grads I doubt one would helped.

Re: Kettlewell

Like the 4th image the best, looks even better without the sky in it.
