My summer holiday in Cumbria.

Sunset over Eden Valley.
A hand-held 8 shot pano - sadly and stupidly I used AF and it lost focus on the sun. My daughter rounded me up to take this and I had to cycle to the location - leaving the tripod at home. So I set up with AF and OIS - and the contrast into the sun blew the focus. My own fault.
All shots have a Lee 100mm CPL and a HiTech 0.9 soft grad ND. Taken with Canon 5D Mark ii and kit lens (I think or Sigma 17-35mm EX DG).

Golden Gate to Eden
I had to add the sky in this shot. Despite filtering the sun through the tree - it still blew out the sky. But I loved the gold tone on the grass so much I persevered with the shot and cheated in the sky from another sunrise (on Arran).

Farm cottage.
The most commented shot of the series (on Facebook) - but my preference is for the Golden Gate.
