Exmoor coldness

Spent a happy day walking around Exmoor today, for once I've come back with a better ratio than 1% of shots I'm happy with

Here's some of my fav's, no processing (for once) save for the occassional small crop, sharpening, resizing and framing.

On with the Show!




















I'll understand if people can't be bothered to comment due to the volume of shots in here, but any feedback greatfuly received. Thanks for tanking the time to view sucha large quantity of images!

Brrr..looks cold! I particularly like #4 - has a sort of eerie but calm effect.

I think they are all belters. But the contrast between cloud and ground in #1 makes it my favourite.

Repeating the others really ... a great suite of shots Ghandi ... you should be rightfully pleased with the increased ratio of 'happy shots' ! Cracking pics all of them !

Shame you didn't start it off with "On with the snow" !

TFS ...

Funny thats the only one that didn't do it for me.

#1 favourite and #5 if the snow didn't look trampled.

I love them all, but #2 really hits the spot for me.
If I were to pick holes, I'd try to lift the exposure on the snow in #2 and #5 (my other favourite) the fields in the distance look a tad over contrasty.

These really are beauties though

great series of shots, certainly captured the cold desolate feeling, image one for me stands out, as said above, the contrast between the sky and landscape is brilliant, i hope you never got caught out in what looks like a big storm on its way.

Great shots G! Can't believe you have snow and we have none in the far North (well on the mountains we do but not below about 2,000ft).

Number 1 is my favourite Gandhi - superb.
I'd be very happy with that one in particular.

I see what people mean about the exposure in a couple of them. I rush-processed them when I got home last night as I was utterly shattered. about 4 hours of driving and about six of walking up and down some very steep hills!

The snow was only the higher areas of the moors, most notably around Dunkery Beacon, it's about 500m above sea level there. This is why there are a few with no snow. It really was a day of contrasts but ultimately rewarding, managed to dodge any precipitation too, despite being able to see it in the distance!

Thanks for looking and the feedback guys.

I've already had no1 printed on my mates epson pro5000 printer. Looks fantastic at A3!

Their all up to your usual standard of top notch pics imo Gandhi. Although #2 and #5 seem to stand out the most for me as well. The horizon looks a wee bit slanted to me in the first shot, could be just me,lol. Anyhoo great job on all!
