How blue?

 Whilst out on the Far Eastern Fells on a bright but chilly day yesterday we were walking over the tops of Grey Crag and Tarn Crag. The skies were bright blue with just one or two fluffy white clouds to add interest and cast shadows on the land. These summits are well down the popular list as they sit at the head of the quiet valley of Longsleddale.
 Most of the Lakeland Fells are only marked by cairns or the ocassional Trig column. Tarn crag is a bit different, close to the actual highest point stands a tall pillar, an old survey column from the days of the construction of the water supply to the industrial heartland of the north west.

Today it made for a near perfect photograph. The small pool that lies adjacent to it perfectly reflected this blue Autumn sky and the distant fells of the High street range were defined by cloud shadows.

 It only took the use of a polarising filter on the camera to give the clouds and water reflections extra punch and that was it, no need for colour enhancement in photoshop or lightroom the colours are as good as they were on the fell. I may need to look at it more closely and perhaps level it up a bit but thats about all I think. Right place, right time has come up trumps again.
