Here are some more of my efforts today... Not bad considering I was trying to shoot fully manual for practice... Click for more pixels...

Think there's going to be lots of Cataract pictures turning up somehow :wink:

but nice work there anyhow.

I like the water release one, have a very similar photo to the 3rd one.

Good shots.

edit to add:
Nice colours on the water release one. Good stuff on Manual mode, it was a tough day for exposure in my book.

Some nice shots John, and very well done con sidering they are taken in Manual mode.
I like Cataract Lake the best, did you use a CPL ?

Manual mode isn't that hard really - as long as you remember that you're in it... I just find that it forces me to think more about the shot I want to take... Also exposure compensation is a breeze... (if only I could remember what +ve & -ve mean :-)

)

Yes I did use a CPL to minimise the reflection from the lake and to enhance the colour of the sky...

I like your view of the lake much more than mine (not posted)...
Cheers,

Three very good images John. There's no frost in any of them

John

Three very good images. Last one is superb. I'm just about to start PP on mine and now I know what to not bother with :wink:

Snappy, tight composition and popping colours! Nicely crafted.

Thanks for the kind comments guys...

But, one point... I'd rather see your images than not - I can but learn...

Interesting perspectives John - your images usually always impress me, and this is one of those times! Well done - thanx for sharing.

Beautiful images John I particularly like the last with the cloud formations really making the image come alive.

cheers
