A walk in Derbyshire .......

Today, i met with a friend for a walk in Derbyshire, I took my camera which i'd checked and prepared the night before by charging the battery in full and checking the memory card was empty.  I was hopeful that the weather might be good as every time I've been out with my camera it's been cloudy and dull, I got off to a good start but by the time i'd parked the cloud had moved in and I thought it was going to rain!  I considered re-thinking my theme and going with 'dull' rather than 'water' :oD

However, it turned out to be fab, with loads of photo opportunities and i'm very pleased with the results.  A selection below .......

f/4.5, iso 200, shutter 1/40, edited to b&w

I'm pleased with the images above and others that I have taken today, i'm confident 1 or 2 will contribute to my 'final 6'.  I love the effect of using a slow shutter speed on moving water to give a 'smokey' effect, but think I got a bit carried away wiht it and wish i'd taken some with a faster shutter speed to capture the water as it looked as well as using the slow shutter speed.
