What weather! I was out for a walk first thing but beat a hasty retreat as I was being hail blasted. After breakfast the sun came out and so we sallied forth once again. It was another short wander. The squalls are ferocious we were soaked and frozen again.
The light is spectacularly beautiful. The following photographs are HDR and the contrast has been given a good shove or a bad shove depending on ones point of view.
Both these pictures were taken from the shelter of the van. I did take some others but unfortunately they were a wash out.
I’m waiting to hear from the garage so hopefully I’ll get a date for the repairs sometime today.
Now it’s time to have a shower and warm up.
That’s all for today. Keep dry.
Well worked photos Adrian, looks like you've got some 'nice' weather there!! (cold wind and sunny here at present!) You didn't go looking for a pot of gold then?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the van...[;o)
I could do with the gold. It goes in next Monday.
DeleteAmazing light - absolutely magical...
ReplyDeletePhil a pity about the rain and sleet. The light has been wonderful for most of the day.
DeleteHi Adrian..."All Hail Adrian"..no I guess that's wrong it was "hail on Adrian" ; }
ReplyDeleteI really like these photo's...sort of beauty and power in one!!
Hope your get that home on wheel fixed soon! : }

Grace thanks. I have always expected folk to genuflect as I appear. It's yet to happen and time is running out.
DeleteThey won't print....too much noise. I may try a de-noise but it is never that effective. A blurred layer and a bit of judicious selection coupled with sharpening with a mask might just work on the second image.
Wishing you more beautiful light on a dryer, warmer day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary. I'm heading for colder weather. I love weather. it filters light in a wondrous way.
DeleteFantastic rainbows I must say, shame about your walking, never mind, time takes a long time, lol.
ReplyDeleteWorth getting wet for Bob.
DeleteSounds like some nasty weather fronts are moving through. Awesome rainbow shot. We won't see rainbows until May or June.
ReplyDeleteRed it isn't too cold. Just hovering around freezing.
DeleteOOOO!
ReplyDelete(everybody else took all the good words to describe the view before I got here)
Imabirdie, that's no problem. Thanks for popping by.
Deleteooh, love the rainbows!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them Norma.
DeleteBelas fotografias...Espectacular....
ReplyDeleteCumprimentos
Fernando, Obrigado. A luz no nordeste da Inglaterra pode ser espetacular ..... Desculpem o meu mau Português
DeleteSomewhere over the Rainbow tune playing in my brain ~ lovely spectrum of light. With the mixture of sun and rain here, I saw a rainbow out of my kitchen window recently. Magical!
ReplyDeleteNice to read of your recent trek to enjoy good company and a Christmas luncheon ~ sounded delicious!
Glo, I'm sorry about the ear worm. It was a grand meal. Well worth the expedition.
DeleteThere are severe disadvantages in being a knowledgeable perfectionist Adrian. They look pretty darn good to me. Actually I think you are far to hypercritical of your own efforts. You must be, otherwise you wouldn't be saying complimentary things about the stuff we mortals produce.
ReplyDeleteI would like to work in company. It doesn't take long to process for the web as I'm degrading the images. Working at a hundred percent enlargement I can see nearly all the problems. Another pair of eyes would be a help.
DeleteNot long now before I start with medium format. I feel I've served my time and it's time for a new challenge. The cost of film and scanning should tax the few grey cells I have left.
simply stunning, amazing, really
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura.
