I am working on a new video project which will use voices from Flickr to tell the stories of the images in my photostream. If you are interested in participating please follow the link below for more information and instructions.
The most famous of the Lake District waterfalls, Aira Force drops an impressive 65 feet and is surrounded by pretty woodland. A short distance from the car park, this moderate 2 hour walk can be extended to High Force beyond or Gowbarrow fell.
Photos of this waterfall really don't do it justice its quite an impressive sight. Great walk too!
Ashgill Force is a an impressive waterfall, plunging 55 feet over a rocky shelf. It is located near Alston, Cumbria, England. The fall is located on Ashgill Beck and is accessible from the B6277 which crosses the bridge over the beck just above the falls, or from Garrigill village.
The beck downstream of the main fall is also attractive in its own right and features several smaller waterfalls. It is a home to several wildlife species, including dippers. There are ruins of former industrial buildings nearby, probably from lead working, which the area was once famous for.

This place remains a personal favourite of mine, not easy to grab a new take on it though. I like the light pools here, the sheer power of the white water and the early Autumn carpet of leaves. 5 secs, f/11, ISO 100 with a polariser
I didn't make it out this morning with my camera, so here an image from earlier in the week. The waves have been huge all week and I have watched them in awe. A force of nature so strong and not to be messed with! I love how the sea looks like a wall in the background...
Plus its another excuse to feature the lobster pot....

I certainly have mixed feelings about this. Have been trying something new in post-processing and this is the result.
Wasn't sure if I like it or hate it. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Image taken at Scale Haw Force, one of the many waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales. I took a step back to pay more attention down the stream instead of the waterfall itself.
Focus stacking and blended in the long exposure. Dodge and burn to add light, colour adjustments, added the Orton effect and finished off with a subtle vignette.
Mill Gill Force was the location of a ritualistic murder back in the 1500’s.
Bodies of two lovers were found with their hands tied with the hacked off lengths of their own hair.
Why …
With the murderer never convicted nobody will ever know, but the ritualistic style of the killing was thought to have been done by a local farmer due to rivalry between opposing families in the area.
