Title: Lockdown cycle in Cumbria
Post by: KMRennie on May 17, 2020, 02:33:42 pm
Unlike Dave I can't walk to stunning locations but can cycle to pleasant ones on my daily 15mile trip. I usually just take my phone but on this occasion the clouds looked promising so I carried my Fuji XE-1. Ken

I don't think it matters so much about where you can get to in the world Ken, as much as what you can see (photographically) when you are there and as shown by this image and pretty much every other image you post on here, you can definitely see (photographically)  ;)

Thank you all for the comments. Dave I used to go to beautiful places and point my camera at the view and produce very ordinary pictures nowadays I carry the beauty around with me and see it in almost every location. Colour version attached, I seem to have got my mono eyes back. Ken

The color version is nice, too, but the B&W one is outstanding.

+1.  The tonality on the field is superb.

 Ken, I'm usually not so crazy about B&W, but this one just sings when it's B&W!!  Well done again Sir!

Totally agree Ken, as that is exactly what we should all be striving to do ;)
