Advertisement Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Hi zanydave, Take a look here Slaters Bridge. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
elansprint72 Posted July 5, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 5, 2007 Dave, For me the Slater's Bridge compares with anything that Brunel or Telford produced (and I'm not disrespecting either of those fine engineers). This "flat" arch comprises locally sourced stones pushing against each other and gravity- nothing else! The low angle of this shot demonstrates the simplicity of the structure, hope you did not get too wet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanydave Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted July 5, 2007 Cheers Pete. Got totally soaked, camera remained in the bag for most of the day. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted July 6, 2007 Share #4 Posted July 6, 2007 Dave, a fine, understated shot. Love the limited colours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted July 6, 2007 Share #5 Posted July 6, 2007 Gee it is a nice image. Can I be so rude to ask the dmr exposure details. For web viewing I wonder if it could do with a frag of brightening up? I contrasted up a layer beneath and reduced teh top to 75% opacity then cheated and selective sharpened a few elements and it seemed to give the image a bit more brightness and clarity. Whether that is desirable or not I dont know. Web viewing is pretty marginal. Reckon it is a really nice and well composed landie. Not something I would get right. Regards.

stuny Posted July 6, 2007 Share #6 Posted July 6, 2007 Dave - A lovely, lovely composition. However, like Rob, I feel it needs to be punched up a bit for even greater impact. Here's a crude, fast attempt, which i know you can easily better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocker Posted July 6, 2007 Share #7 Posted July 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dave, I really like this - I wasn't aware of the bridge but, as Pete says, its very impressive. I actually like the colour and tone of your original rather than the brighter version - i think it has more of the atmosphere of the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted July 12, 2007 Share #10 Posted July 12, 2007 Maybe we should think about a NW boys trip to The Lakes? Locations like this do not require a mountain climb to get there and there are plenty more around (I mention this in deference to those R+DMR owners who, unlike Ansell Adnams, may not have access to a mule). PM me if you think it's a good idea. Brent, these rivers and streams run fast and levels vary with rainfall; the trout tend to be quite small but very tasty due to their athleticism!

andybarton Posted July 12, 2007 Share #11 Posted July 12, 2007 I suggested a Lake trip two years ago, and had one interested party. Me. The walk from the Dungeon Ghyll, past Blea Tarn, down to Slaters' Bridge and back is exceptional. Here's a link to a day I had with some other chums on that very route.

My Mum would not let me out with "strange men" then. Nice photos on your link- is that somewhere on your site? Only one pub mentioned on your proposed route... does it not pass the Three Shires (this may be a determining factor for some of the sad acts who have turned up on our previous "photo" days out)?

Nice photos? On my site? Of course! But just snaps, when compared to Dave's masterpiece here. There's a very nice pub, on the way to Wrynose, half way round the walk. Plus the Dungeons at the end.

Guest Motivfindender Posted July 12, 2007 Share #14 Posted July 12, 2007 excellent shot. An image like from a fairy-tale...I like it a lot. The "darker" one is fitting better than the second, IMHO. Dirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwells Posted July 13, 2007 Share #15 Posted July 13, 2007 Dave - Lovely idyllic shot...I think the original, darker version adds a moody edge to it. cheers: Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
