Springtime in Harrogate

Took a day off to make my birthday part of a long weekend. I didnt think I would get out at all when I first saw the weather, but although it stayed cold, it did stop snowing eventually. At one point I had to go back to the car to warm my hands - they were so cold it was making me feel sick! a quarter of an hour later and I was good to go again. All images taken with the Fuji 18-55mm lense, and processed in Lightroom using Perfect Effects 4, or Silver Efex Pro  2.

Still snowy !

The snow is still here so thought I'd try a couple more images.

I also wanted to try out the panoramic option. This proved more difficult than I thought it would. It might be something that I'm doing (or not doing!) but I couldn't seem to get both ends of the image sharp.

The left hand side of this image is fine, but the right hand side is terrible (I was sweeping left to right).

This was probably my most successful attempt. I think I need to put in a bit more practice!

Snowy January

Took the day off work to take some pictures today - sadly the hard frost from yesterday didn't reappear, but a good day anyway!
