I don’t know what the weather’s been recently for you, but here it’s been dreadful. I haven’t been out properly with a camera since the start of January. And I’m not holding out much hope for the next couple of weeks either. It’s only when I look back over my photo’s trying to find a Friday image that I realise I haven’t shot very much at all. Even last year the conditions didn’t work well much of the time.
Despite the lack of good weather, I did manage a good walk earlier in the month at Ingleton I the Yorkshire Dales. Whilst there I took a three-shot panorama of Ingleborough. It was captured using the Fuji X-T2 with the 18-135 lens. I also used a monopod to help steady the camera as it was freezing cold and blowing a gale up there.
I didn’t hold out much hope when I took the shot other than thinking it looks like a nice scene. Now I’ve stitched he images in Lightroom I rather like the result. It certainly conveys the sense of wide, open space you get up there.
Fingers crossed for an improvement in the weather and I hope you have a great weekend.
Nice–and conveys the chill in the air.
Thank you
I’m away down to South Wales for the next 5 days – seascapes, waterfalls and some of the Brecons – you can place your bets now that it will be wet, windy, cold and very uncomfortable – why AM I going ?
Nice image BTW, especially as it’s shot in Yorkshire.
Go to Yorkshire. It’s also wet windy and cold.
Hope yo uhave a good trip and the weather improves.
Nice photo. For winter I generally revert to my film cameras for most of my outdoors shooting. None of my digital imaging gear is rated below 40F and I have used my film gear well below 0F. If I’m out in the rain I use my Nikonos-III.
Thanks. Yes, film’s much more forgiving of the cold but then even that can freeze.
I had my XPan with me in Argentina a few years back and the shutter button froze solid. I could only shoot using the cable release. Then I used a roll of Velvia I had left on the ground whilst trying to sort everything out only to have the sprocket holes shatter. It wasn’t a good start to the day.
About sums up a winter walk in the Dales 🙂
I think it stitched nicely.
As the last on the 3 peaks walk, I dreaded that sight…
Thanks. I quite like Ingleborough, it’s Whernside I find rather a boring slog. Then again, it depends which direction you’re coming from.
This is a great photo! I like it a lot! as always all you photo are great! It look’s like a great place to take photos! would like to see a B&W conversion of that photo! I like all your B&W photos every last one of them.!
Thanks Robert. I may take a look at trying a B&W conversion if I have a spare hour.
I enjoyed this photograph especially all the different contrasting light in the scene
Thank you. It did take some processing in Lightroom to soften the shadows in the forground rocks.
Definitely a good panorama. Weather is not good either here in São Paulo, too much rain for weeks. I really liked this post, but you could have included more technical information. Focal length, aperture, shutter speed and ISO are always welcome. Have a nice week, Robin, greetings from Brazil.
Thanks Rodrigo. I don’t feel quite as bad now about thinking the weather is always better somewhere else.
Excellent shot once again Robin! As you say, the feeling of space, even grandeur, is really evident.
Thanks Ken. Much appreciated.
