Views from Wansfell Pike

[Martyn]

Had to post these images just to prove I actually make it up Wansfell from Ambleside. 

 

Looking north you see Kirkstone Pass

 

 

North west is the Fairfield Horseshoe

 

 

Look west and you find the Langdale fells and Ambleside down bellow

 

 

Look south and you would see Windermere, but I've already posted my pano shot

 

South eastish is towards the Kendal area

 

 

One of my walking buddies on the summit

 

 

 

All these images are much better seen in real life!

Stunning, absolutely stunning. Nice to see landscapes that look natural, not that HDR with the halo, not ovesaturated, not oversharpened... The 1st and second are my favourites. The last one is a fab, candid shot.

 

My walking days are over because of my knees, but my favourite ever walk was High Cup Nick and the views took my breath away

I don't think I could manage that now.......so thank you Martyn for sharing..

You must be as fit as a .....Butcher's Dog......as a result of all the walking, dancing and fiddling you do?

Well done you.

Well that's the think you see Fuji, I'm not fit. The clog dancing leaves me exhausted, I'm walking to try and increase my fitness level. I'm ashamed to say that 12 month ago I could barely walk a mile without feeling I couldn't continue. I'm very proud to have just completed a 10 mile hike and am determined to continue walking until I can take on some challenge; Pennine way or Wainrights coast to coast perhaps. I've been asked by a friend if I feel up to the K2B (Keswick to Barrow) next year, but at 40 miles in one day I think that's a bit much!

 

Thanks for all the kind comments!

I am not into landscape but have you thought of a polarising filter to knock that blue back a bit

Just something extra to lug about to make you that bit more fitter

[Martyn]

I hadn't thought of that Fuzzy, didn't realize a polariser would do that. I don't own any filters except the Skylight filter on my 35mm f1.8 because it came wit it second hand. I've been led to believe by the "experts" on Youtube that, with the exception of the ND and the polariser, filters are obsolete due to the advance in PP software.

I meant to say make the blue a bit deeper and give a better contrast between the green and the sky

[Martyn]

Ah, I see what you mean Fuzzy, but there's only #4 with any blue in the sky.

Yes, in Photoshop you can apply the equivalent of any number of warming/cooling/haze/colour filters. They apply the actual filter effect you would have got on your camera.

 

However you would have to do some jiggery-pokery to eliminate the blue of distant peaks - as your foregrounds don't have it, I could live with that hue of 'blue remembered hills', after all it's what our eyes see too.
