Took the camera out to a tiny village on The Medway called Upnor today. 7 minute drive away, so not too far!

Is that your four year old in the picture again?Burnley Hammer wrote:The previous pictures don't really catch the Dark peak in typical weather. This next one does! Taken during an ascent of Crowden Clough up to the plateau of Kinder Scout.

Re: KUMB Amature Photography Thread 2019
ha, no. Still a couple of years away from that. I've managed to get him up to Kinder Scout via Jacobs Ladder and that was about his limit at the time. We went on four walks last year to gently get him into it - this year there'll be lots more. Would be nice to take him scrambling when he gets much older but my other half has seen my headcam footage from my last days scrambling, and there's no way she's going to allow it!prince_huggy wrote:Is that your four year old in the picture again?

I use a Canon EOS600D, and usually a standard 18-55mm lens.

Great photos DL. Upnor is a nice little place. I like the Tudor Rose pub. Shame it's a Sheps pub mind. Where do you live? I am only a ten minute drive away from there myself?

They are such friendly creatures who seem to love getting their picture taken. I'll try and upload one of mine later.The Old Man of Storr wrote: Highland Cows in our little community here on Skye .

^^^All the above is bang on.-DL- wrote: To be honest, most of the places in The British Isles I've been to and snapped have been because I've had reason to be in that part of the world. I've just made sure the camera is in the boot (which I always do now, even if it's just a local trip anywhere).
You don't need to spend much money at all, but without the camera in the car, they wouldn't be got.
There's probably tons of stuff local, be it if you're lucky enough to have plenty of green space, in an urban sprawl, or even a 20 minute drive away - you don't have to look too hard to find stuff to take pictures of.
One of my best ones on the first page of this thread, I didn't even need to leave the boundary of my own property.
As for changing vocation - I wouldn't want to lose the love for it and have the pressure of relying on it as an income.
I just want to visit so many of those places!
DL, some of your colours are so striking, are they 'as taken'? Is it just the quality of your camera?
I'm not accusing you of any 'adjusting', btw.

A few of my (pretty crap) ones.
This was actually taken through a car windscreen whilst driving in Wisconsin:
