November Photo Thread

Cheers Stowpirate. What are you using to measure the exposure with? Or are you using the Sunny 16 method? They did make a model with a lightmeter but I don't think that is the one you have. I used to carry a Weston meter when I used my Edixa. Nowadays I have a backup digital camera that is smaller than the old meter.

Sunny 16 method most of the time albeit I did use an exposure meter on some shots. The film was rated at 100 so easy gestimate!

Digital rubbish now! Summit trig point on the 3054ft Skiddaw mountain. The wind was gusting in the 50-60mph region and we saw only four other people all day long.

On the way up luckily we were sheltered to some degree from the high winds by the mountain.

Another boring Skiddaw summit photo. We were struggling to stand up in the high winds. They were gusting in the 50-60mph region. They were producing a serious Wind chill problem. I think by the time we returned to our starting point we all had a touch of Hypothermia. The summit conditions were unbelievable and you cannot see it in the photographs. The whistling of the wind as it passes through your clothes! I was shivering when having a pint in the Sun Inn afterwards. :D
 
stowpirate - fantastic. I do a lot of running, running around the fells is one of the most fantastic parts of life, sadly it's too far from London to really do on a regular basis. Nice shots, Skiddaw is breathtaking.

Same problem here! It is a bit flat in Suffolk with the nearest hills of any interest for hiking in the Peak District, which I think is about 150 miles away. The Lake District is 300 miles away so might as well be on another planet which explains why I took nearly 1000 photos in a week! So expect to be bored by the end of this month :D

This is what living is all about for me - insanity!
 
Self-evident location

The white building on the right is the former home of the London Docklands Development Corporation, that kicked off everything that led to Canary Wharf

Old and new: St Botolph's Church by George Dance the Elder (built 1741-1744) with Nicholas Grimshaw's St Botolph's house under construction behind.

A right mix of eras: the platform in the Thames is doing exploration work in the bed of the river in preparation for the Thames Tunnel - a project to build a 20 mile long tunnel to move sewage down river to Becton Treatment works during times of peak rainfall instead of dumping it in the Thames.

The quieter end of Shad Thames, London SE1

[blush] Thank you.

A few more views of the Bermondsey Spa development today as it approaches completion and is being occupied.

Repeating myself a little with this shot of Frean Street (with a fisheye twist) but I think it's really successful element in the scheme.

A couple of images of Spa Road

The rear side of Bolanachi Place (there's something rather German about this elevation).

and I'll throw in this view of the Dragonfly apartments by Idom UK, looking toward St James' Road from the green space adjacent to the church.

This was not taken with a fisheye lens but by some strange quirk of the topography it looks like it was.

Your shots are making me want to get in the car and drive over to the lakes for a day. I don't think my bank balance would appreciate it at the moment though :D

I have a few more shots of the top of Skiddaw, Haystacks and Dodd.

Only managed to climb three

On this one you can just make out two other people on the way to the Skiddaw summit on the Keswich route
we climbed it from Bassenthwaite end :)
 
like that :cool:

I am struggling to get the white balance and brightness levels right. My first effort had a slight blue look to it. This one looks a tad dark and maybe a brown green tint. The Panasonic FX12 is maybe not the right camera for this type of thing.
