Over the Lake District

[cessna152towser]

Last flight of the year, a scenic flight with a friend, this time keeping to the English side of the Solway and flying over the Lake District.



Skiddaw, (3,100 feet) has a dusting of snow on top.

Ullswater

Lyulph's Tower, a medieval pele tower and Howard stronghold overlooking Ullswater, which was substantially renovated and extended as a shooting lodge in the 1780's.

Pooley Bridge, where Ullswater overflows and becomes the River Eamont, which is a tributary of the Eden which flows through Carlisle, in turn flowing into the Solway Firth.

Nice pictures. I look forward to each of your posts to see shots like this!

Those are great pictures, you should really invest in a polarising filter for your camera, it makes the haze disappear, it does wonders with those types of shots.

It's amazing what a few Photoshop filters can do:











Edit: Someone beat me to it! Yeah, I probably went a little overboard with the sharpening, but I just passed them through a few quick ready-made actions.

Removed photoshop work. Decided this was not a photography forum. I just enjoy the photos!

Amazing. Well done, Andrew.
I've previously experimented with the photo editing software which came with the camera; the results were certainly sharper and clearer but the colours seemed a bit off, so all the stuff I've been posting has been unamended.

Beautiful pics, man I miss flying!

[McMurdo]

Wonderful shots.
Thanks for posting them.

Well you guys are just amazing with your photoshop. I ran my pics. through Digimax Master auto quality edit and reloaded them on Phototbucket and hopefully they'll now display a bit clearer.
