I used a tabacco graduated filter for the sky. I was 'biked up', didnt even take off my helmet!! Used pop up flash too. Thats it, Just lucky snaps i guess!

a couple of roadside shots taken today whilst i was trying to get the feeling back in my fingertips!!!! Location was near Garoby Hill, North/East Yorkshire boarder...i think!

How you do dat den ????.....I gotta know.

...which bit Ray? i know it was a quick snap cos normally i put my helmet on my mirror, and its not there, so must still have it on when i took it.

I used a tobacco graduated filter (helps darken off the sky) handheld. My filter is a big square one, and held it over the lens from above. The darkening top corners are slight shadow from my hand!....but i did darken these areas off a lil more.

Only other thing i did to edit it, was to click the 'sharpen more' button, twice. I find it adds a bit of grungyness to the pics.

Hope that helps.

Well, depending on what AfricaJim & I encounter over the Lecht & Glenshee tomorrow morning, I might be able to add a few pictures to this thread by the end of the weekend :woohoo:

But here is a pic of my old TA from winter before last . .

Ha ha! We could have been digging our tents out of the snow tomorrow morning Steve, it looked fine at 16.00 when I got home today!

Remember that day well Steve, we've had a lot of fun in the snow over the years, here's another;


One thing for sure, we'll have more memories over the weekend down in Galloway!
