Really excellent mix of photographs so far. I'm also a fan of the 50mm 1.4
You realize that's not her name?
Not sure about anyone else here but I don't photoshop in the reflections, it's as they are out of the camera. I'm not a fan of over post processing my photo's (Mainly as I'm not too good at it) however I do use a polariser a lot of the time which when set correctly really helps your reflections. The last shot I posted here was with a polariser but to be honest the water was so still the reflection was popping out anyway.
Whernside...
As always Mr Doylem phenomenal work ! Super landscape with brilliant light (and shadows) expertly composed and the sky is nice and dark.
"rest and be thankful"
Another shot from Saturday, not too happy with the sky in this
but I always love the view from here .

That's nice! the lens has barely left my camera since I got it on monday, it's just awesome!

I'm pretty sure creative78 knows that...Steamie, I find that pic just a tad oversaturated, but I agree that the view is spectacular! Do you go there often?
Thanks, I thought that in order to get that kind of shots you will need to post process. Thank goodness its not required
Post-processing is still a blunt instrument, IMO, compared to the nuances of light, colour and tone to be found in the natural world. For a perfect 'mirror image' of mountains in a lake, you need the water to be as calm as a mill-pond: conditions that are commonly found at dawn, less often in the middle of the day. The 'secret' is being in the right place, at the right time, and being prepared to wait.
I'd rather spend time in the landscape, waiting for the light to do something special... rather than hunched over my laptop with an image in Photoshop...

Just a tad
I don't get to go there as often as I would like unfortunately .Post-processing is still a blunt instrument, IMO, compared to the nuances of light, colour and tone to be found in the natural world.

Hear Hear Mr Doylem, I couldn't agree more ! Early morning rises and late night drives home going to and from shoot's that just makes it all the more fun. The only downside is driving all day somewhere to get a shot and then standing in the pouring rain with zero visibility thinking "When can I come back here "
