A few photos from the week. I ended up juggling my 400d and my small compact dependent on weather and where we were, didnt fancy carrying it all the way up Scafell Pike. It also only really properly rained on the last day too, though it was largely overcast when we were out :|

View from the cottage, looking at Helm Crag.


View from Helm Crag, with my friend in the way & posing:


He was also in the way on this one on the way down, but I ended up photoshopping him out:


On the way up to Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England. Taking a breather looking down at the Wast Water.


Nearly at the top, looking at Styhead Tarn. I have a series of photos of the same place as the clouds rolled in for a while. Starts off nice and clear and eventually it gets to the point where you can only see about 30ft in front of the camera:


On the summit Cairn.


The view from the top whilst taking a break:


Getting a little artsy. I had intended to try the focus thing in hugin, but I moved a little too much for it to work.


Waterfall up on the way to Easedale Tarn on the last day:


And the Tarn:



Hopefully the photos will work, if not they can all be found in the set here:

Hehe yeah. I am tempted to frame one of the photos and whack it on the wall. When up in Keswick there was someone selling photos which were actually worse than mine (Something I thought impossible) for ~£50 each, so I figure some of my faves cant be that bad.

#3 is looking down from Helm Crag, and I think the ridge in the middle leads on to Helvellyn, Englands 3rd highest peak. When I return to the lakes I will probably try to do it from the cottage if I stay there again, as its literally on the back door.

The challenge for #3 is to find the place my friend was photoshopped out of. Find the football so to speak

I have seen the same in Bristol for things like postcards, some are shockingly bad and I know I have photos which are a lot better, just a shame the margin in postcards is so small otherwise Id consider selling some! Thinking about ebaying some on to canvas, but get the canvas company to drop ship for me, so I would have virtually nil costs.

ahhh, I was only winding you up

I like the duck.

looks like you got on ok with the photo stitching Zpyder, well done. There does seem to be something a bit wierd going on with the hedge to the right of the first picture, probably a knackered control point.

Still, looking good! Im certainly jealous of the hiking you got to do!

Lets just say towards the end of the holiday, things started to get a little weird :|

oh yeah..... kinky eh ?    

Yup
