This is the Langdale Chase Hotel shot hand-held from a moving boat

on Lake Windermere. The building to the lower right is the Old

Boathouse and is now used as the Bridal Suite for the hotel.

Thanks for looking and any comments.

This was shot as a wet and cloudy day started to brighten up. Taken

hand-held from a moving boat on Lake Windermere I got lucky as a

shaft of sunlight broke through the clouds.

Thoughts and comments welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Josephine

I am not normally interested in digital alterations but this caught my eye. I had a look and had a smile and I like an image that makes me smile.

Nice and creative!

Hi Mike, at least it's a bit warmer in Florida!! I've just seen the weather forecast and we are expecting snow again tmw. I dont think the mercury has got above 5 degrees since Christmas.

Thanks for the comments.

Gareth.

Wonderful scene from life.

Thanks for sharing.

Gareth.

Thanks for stopping by Ruud.

I had exactly the same idea, in the winter trees are all different but in the summer they look pretty much the same. I too was going to start a similar series and this has inspired me to get on with it.

This is wonderful and I look forward to more of your 'lone tree' images.

Kind regards

Gareth.

Had to have a look. An interesting and amusing image!

Great use of the 85mm 1.8 Ruud! A well seen and timed shot!

Best regards

Gareth.

It doesn't have to be summer time to enjoy an icecream! Thanks for

looking.

This little fella basking in the sun just made me smile. Great shot Gail, sharp and vibrant.

Best regards

Gareth.

Hi Gail, this is quite unusual for us, we don't get this kind of weather often. This frost is caused by freezing fog, once the fog clears everything is left covered in fine ice crystals. If the sun comes out then it is all gone within a couple of hours. The daytime temperature on this day was about -3 deg c which is cold for the UK but nowhere near as cold as some parts of the world.

The ice and snow is nice but to be honest I much prefer the summer!!

Roll on the warmer weather.

Take care

Gareth.

I was lucky Gail, this was the only day the sun made an apperance in 3 weeks, even so it was still a bit too cloudy. I also happened to be in the right place at the right time!

Since I shot this I have invested in some ND Grad filters, something else to learn how to use!

Thanks for looking.

Hi Gail

This was quite a friendly robin, I shot it with a 35mm lens so got pretty close.

All the snow has gone for now, it never lasts long. We might be in for some more on Sunday whichwill be nice.

Thanks for the comments

Gareth

Hi Gail, thanks for stopping by.

It is an old mill yes, I have another shot of it in my portfolio taken last year just before the drought warnings in the UK. We then went on to have the wettest summer on record and are still suffering now.

Climate change has a lot to answer for.

Gareth.

Hi Ruud and Mike

Thank you both for stopping by.

Jessie is just over 12 years old now and I have had her since she was 11 weeks. Wonderful with children and a loyal companion. She could do with a good brush though!

Again, thanks for looking.

Gareth.

Gail, your creative mind just amazes me! This is brilliant.

Great news about Mike!

All the best

Gareth.

Well seen and shot Ruud.

You have an ease on the streets to be envied!

Keep up the good work.

Regards

Gareth.

Wonderful image Adrienne, I do like sunsets and silhouettes.

I have had a quick glance at your portfolio, I will be back later for a more in depth look.

Regards

Gareth

Hi Adrienne, thanks for stopping by.

It was a cold day indeed!

Regards

Gareth.

Thank you Colin, 20 mins after shooting this it was snowing a blizzard, a blue sky would have been ideal but on this occasion it was cloudy.

Regards

Gareth.

Very nice composition Martyn, and a rare appearance from the sun!!

A winters scene from North Yorkshire U.K.

All comments welcome.

I wish everyone at P.net a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful and

Relaxing start to 2013.

Hi Stephen, thanks very much for your insight.

I have a few variations of this image now having played around with cropping, B/W, colour changes etc yet I still keep coming back to the original. I think prehaps because I had an image/mood in mind when I took the shot, and the result was what I was aiming to acheive. It has certainly caused interest with some of my friends.

All the best

Gareth.
