Wow! Summer Holidays

Haven't held off photographing stuff. My new installation of Fedora with a KDE desktop is really excellent - not crashed once in 2 weeks. It also has Luminance and Hugin and GIMP 2.8 installed already. Turned it into a powerhouse graphics workstation.

On the way into Grasmere - Wild Camping

Outside Burneside

Spent time on the ancient camper and now Millie has passed her test! New Tyres and ready to head south for some more research.

Here is a Hugin panorama:

Looking down on Grasmere lake

A quick look at a Luminance HDR image compared to a normal image!

The river at Burton in Lonsdale in HDR

The same shot in normal exposure

The last final Mod to the kit is Batch processing on GIMP - works really well. It was rubbish on on 2.6 but now straight forward - Takes ages though!

Currently doing 200 shots of St Annes Carnival to upload to the Datstore!

New Year (Old Year!!!)

Oh dear kept on wanting to blog so little time! A pathetic excuse but here goes! Completed the Keswick round with the Morecambe Bay and Bowland branch of the LDWA.
A good day out. Here are some landscape pix I did.

Old view of Braithwaite from a postcard.
This is where the event started

The summit of Cat Bells. Skidaw in the distance - behind Derwentwater

The other side of Derwentwater Cat Bells is facing! This is the view from the checkpoint.

The climb out of Rosthwaite. It is below and to the left

On the way to Walla Crag. There are one or two walkers up towards the right which I managed to catch.

There are more pictures to add but they have not been prepared yet.
