DO NOT LOOK (09/09/10)

What I really meant was purists don’t look. I thought do not look would tempt the odd waverer and those intent on a little erotic titillation. The latter will be disappointed………..I don’t run that sort of site……..can’t say I haven’t thought about it but the competition is just too fierce.

The light in the Yorkshire Dales is stunning, I’ve not seen it at it’s best but first light this morning was better than average.

  This has been treated to a bit of dodging and burning and the yellow channel shoved a touch.

  This shot of our destination today is pretty much as shot apart from RAW conversion…….to be in keeping with most of today's efforts perhaps I should have given it a good seeing to as well.

This window titled the Good Shepherd was commissioned to commemorate two thousand years of the Christian Church and installed in 1954………..just jesting…….it doesn’t say when it was made. I wasn’t happy with this so…………………….

gave it a real hammering…………for once I prefer the restrained version.

St Andrews Hawes is a typical example of English market town ecclesiastical architecture. Not too ornate and the better for it…………..

  Wow Whee! I went to town on this one. Looks better than the real thing. I suspect it’s hard to believe but I toned this down with an unsaturated layer at about forty percent opacity.

   This is what the camera saw…………….what I saw was sort of halfway between…………wish I was a fifty percent person.

Gayle Beck again, I'm not that happy with today’s wander. I’m over the moon today, a friend imparted a dollop of good news yesterday……..I really need good news this year.

Now it’s a messing day today so first I took this……………………..

   A small section of paving slab that caught my eye. Then this…………….

  Alfie in all his glory. After ten minutes firtling about we get this………………………………..

    There are those days when I shouldn’t be let out of my box.

Tomorrow we are off to Gayle Mill. I will try and be good and pure as the driven snow.
