Yorkshire on a dull day.

Ingleton Waterfalls: Yesterday was not a nice day and I had to force myself out and do some snapping!

Well, I don't think you wasted your time. #1 is my favorite of this series, #3 is close behind but only because of the white sky. The motion in the water is great!

Normally I spend my time trying to slow the exposure down, yesterday it was hard to get it above 4 seconds in the brightest spots at ISO 100 (and my hands were cold and the Circ Pol wouldn't come off!)...but yea, the sky was a bit boring! Still, beats sitting watching TV right!?

Yep, I would love to do the same...but until I buy a 1d I have to stay indoors for now. It's only rain here.

Could just buy and umbrella, it is what I used yesterday....although it was mainly drizzly mist, not rain.

Well done for a dull day!

I've been having the same problem lately with the dull yorkshire skies Neilyb.......most frustrating!!. A trip out to the Peak district when the sky is good makes it worthwile waiting though!. Nice pics!

With fabulous scenery like that around you, how can you not get out and take photos? No. 1 is my favourite.

Those are quite good pictures! I like #3 the best. Great colors. Overcast days are actually great times to grab some waterfall shots. The light is usually very even with no harsh shadows and colors can be vibrant. The circ polarizer will help cut some light and increase your exposure time, you can also use a ND filter. When shooting on overcast days like that, just frame your subject to exclude the sky. Put your hand over the top 1/3 of picture 2&3 and you'll see what I mean.

Realy nice stuff we have here,very well done.

Couldn't live without my Circ Pol....and I do carry an ND filter on bright days, which we have very few of!

Thanks all!

One more, not too happy with the framing (a bitmore to the left perhaps?).

My 8-stop neutral density is a lifesaver for these kind of shots. Even in bright conditions i can get exposures of 20+ seconds. Now i just need a polariser too and ill be set.

Thats what has put me off buying a new ultra wide lens, having to fork out for a 77mm Poloriser....not cheap! But as you can see from the above shot 12mm would make a nicer shot than 18mm....lol....

Dull days like this are frustrating. You have done an excellent job of making good pictures anyway. I need to learn about using ND filters.
