Marsden Sunrise / Lake District Snow

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Just about keeping my eyes open after a 5:20 start. Headed to the coast for some sunrise pics before going to the Lakes with my parents.

Marsden

Lake District

For the sunrise I used a Cokin P Sunrise filter, and for most of the Lake District ones, a circular polariser.

Hope you like them :winky:

Mark.

Great photos Mark...Dont think ive seen my local beach look so good!! Camels island looks magnificent in silhouette..

The lakes look cold and bleak in comparison, i know where i'd rather be..!!!

[sunny scunny]

Cracking stuff! Did you use a filter for the sunrise pictures?

[Koppite]

Great pics Mark thanks for sharing, it still looks rather chilly in the lake district.

lovely shots there Mark, like the Stone Rigg circle, which is where I am assuming it is?

Thanks everyone for your comments

Close John, it's Castlerigg Stone Circle.

Went down to Marsden again today, and the sunrise was very nice again.

Here's a few of the pics I took, used my Cokin P sunset filter again.

No editing apart from the last one, where i've taken out a big nasty lens flare, you can maybe spot the patching up on the rocks.

Hope you like them

[Kent Snow]

Two wonderful sets of photos! Love the second lot.

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Stunning photos, thanks for sharing them. The sunrise ones are my personal favourites.

No problem Brian and thanks everyone for your comments.

Thanks Mark It was difficult deciding which one to go for, but I've opted for No.5

I love how the sun picks out the rocks, and the reflections in the wet sand, in that picture

I find them all very soothing to look at.

stunning pictures, really beautiful sunrise pics

[Ghost]

Stunning!!

Well done Mark, I know I will pop back and view them many times. :winky:

[Yeti]

Absolutely fantastic :winky:

Can't wait to go up to the Lakes again, hopefully at Easter

I attempted a walk in the Dales on Sunday but as luck would have it the weather was atrocious and I was almost blown off the side of Littondale with driving snow!

I've got one of those pics as my desktop background at the moment, and it looks superb. I used to dabble in the odd watercolor painting a few years ago, and these pics have got me seriously

thinking about getting my brushes out again.

I've never thought of asking whether we have any artists among us on Netweather.

Sorry, got distracted by the pictures!

Never been to the Lake District, 'tis on my list for my next foray back home!

Yes I agree mate, It's not often that I comment on the pics on this site as there are always so many good ones, but I felt I had to

on this occasion. Like you, I also think that they are the most outstanding pics I've ever seen. They are just so relaxing to look at that I could

sit and stare at them all day.

Thank you so much both of you! such high praise!

Shaun, here's a larger version for your desktop to save stretching the 800px version...

Brian and anyone else I can post a larger version if anyone wants to use them as desktop backgrounds

Thanks everyone else too for your comments, makes it worthwhile getting up at 5:15 on my days off, i'm not a morning person either!
