Longshaw ...... no rain

Today is the last day of my Christmas holiday, back to work tomorrow :o(  Determined to make the most of it, coupled with the fact it had finally stopped raining, I headed out to the Longshaw Estate near Sheffield to see what I could see! A dry day with a fairly blue sky and what felt like 90mph winds (I never exaggerate).  Here are a selection of the images I managed to capture:

1. shutter 1/100, f/8, iso 100


2. shutter 1/100, f/6.3, iso 100


3. shutter 1/80, f/10, iso 100


4. shutter 1/100, f/9, iso 100


5. shutter 1/125, f/10, iso 100

And the same images converted to black and white .....






These images work better in black and white than the Dartmoor images, I think this is because there is more detail to the foreground so you don't lose the depth.  However, I prefer the colour images, again i'm drawn to the range of strong colours and depth.  Although they are not as desolate as the Dartmoor images, I still feel they convey a sense of isolation & remoteness, which for some bizarre reason I rather like!
