Ok I know this is the robin of the landscape world, but I feel I had to get it out.. The result of a trip with a small group of Epz'ers which ended up as a large group.. I think twisleton scar is a place where epz landscapers go to die Smile Millions appeared out of the gloom.. Smile
A wildlife tog is such a lonely life..

I had a good time really I was not sure that I would be talked to as a wildlife photographer. But was made welcome. Nice to meet people who are not covered in camo from head to toe (even in a public place) Smile

Anyway this is the result of my time there.. Got some great advice from SUT68.. Also discovered my Cokin filters looked so small compared to everyone elses Lee's.. Felt like I was in a shower with rather large men Smile
So the trip has cost me a few hundred quid as I have now had to keep up with the Jone's and buy those Lee Filters ( thanks a lot Paul )..

Hope the shot is not too bad. I went with the storm clouds and not the really good light as the others did as I missed it talking Smile

Regards Edgar...

You have captured a great atmosphere from the place and for someone who doesn't do landscapes you have produced a top shot!

Detail by the spade load and good composition.

I hope it was a worthwhile investment when you bought the Lee filters and I hope we get to see some more of this sort of work.

An excellent landscape capture, Edgar, a mean and moody sky here, very much like it is at home right now! Carol

Brilliant photo...

thought for a few seconds I was looking at the wrong portfolio Wink
The landscape lot aren't a bad bunch are they?
(I just left them in September to branch out and try wildlife)
Love the atmosphere you have caught here - harsh, barren and stormy

yes I have got the holder and adapter but the three filters are on order, with a 3-4 week wait..Smile which means I will have to get my cokin filters oly if I am on my own Smile

Thanks for all the kind comments.. If I get any more I might get serious about this LS stuff..

Kind Regards
