My second visit of the year to Derbyshire on Sunday morning. A much better cloudscape this time and the added bonus of the company of a Goat who stayed alongside me for much of my three hours there. I think he wanted to eat my bag.

And before anyone asks or comments - two of the images here have been processed using HDR software and ten have not.

Wow, very nice photos. Are these all at 7mm? 3rd and 4th are my favourites but all are very good.
 
Dramatic skies. First two are my favs.

Were you using fill on many of them? It does make for a good shots with the interesting foreground.

I do wonder how they would look with less fill, more au natural ?
 
Amazing photos!! Great job!
 
Impressive!
thanks for sharing.

Great composition and nice PP. Was wondering: Photomatix, Photoshop, Topaz or some other post-processing technique (or is it a secret?!)

Number 4 and 12 were processed using Photmatix. The rest were blended in Photoshop using two layers each a number of stops apart. All were then processed in Lightroom.
Gorgeous! Do fill us in on your HDR workflow.

And which of the two were HDR? How were the rest processed (if at all)?

Great shots. I am thinking about getting a wide angle lens for my GF1 and these shots are a very persuasive argument for the lens.
 
Great pics! I live near the peaks and you've certainly done it justice :)

no filters used? Just good old manual blend? Very nice.
 
Good composition and capture, but I find the processing a little obvious.

For example, in the first picture, it looks like the top of rock sticking out is a lot less exposed than the rest of the rock, like a line has been used between the two exposures rather than a mask of the sky or ground. Similarly, the ground in the distance seems very dark as well.

Very nice pictures, I assume you're hand holding a graduated ND for most of these?

The dramatic and in my opinion "unnatural" look ND grads give to the images (particularly evident in the 1st and 6th shots) in the way they darken the foreground that sticks up over the horizon, is the reason I have never got on with them.

Your HDRs look good and very natural, have you tried playing with the ND grads in Lightroom?

I don't use ND grad filters at all.
