Was this someone we know in Wensleydale on Monday afternoon?

Not on Monday afternoon. Yesterday though is another matter, but not that low! Lovely place, Wensleydale valley...

Ah...pity, next time  

'tis indeed a lovely place, had a great view of a Tornado heading steadily East past the Buttertubs pass but completely failed to get the camera set up in time.

This was the only good view I got of a Tuc.....all the others came over when I was inside, do you wait for us all to go in?  ;D

That first one looks from a professional with years waiting for the perfect day  ;D really...

Any post capture processing on that first image ?

Just to resize it for the forum, we have a whole series taken with various shutter speeds which were under or over exposed but this one got the foreground light just right with a grad nd8 filter (held by my fingertips ) to tone down the sky.

Mrs 61_OTU was on the shutter release, it was a joint effort

Nice work

The Neutral Density makes lots of sense  .....now I see how the range of exposure was attained.......nice catch  8)

Absolutely gorgeous shot! Seems the course payed off big time...

What camera do you use, if I may ask?

You may, it's a Fuji Finepix S5600. Nothing special but a massive improvement over my old Olympus mju 300.

Although I have only just begun to appreciate how to use the manual features of the camera, the course is making me lust after a full DSLR......maybe a little way off yet  ;)

Wow! That first one is so beautiful
