Hi Everyone! This photograph is my entry for this week's PhotoFeed Around the World, Europe competition. It's an image that I took in August 2018, just after I bought my camera (little did I know that this purchase would change my life!). I was on holiday in the beautiful Buttermere valley, in the English Lake District, and was enjoying pointing my new toy at anything and everything.
I took this shot on a circular hike from Buttermere, up to Haystacks and around to Fleetwith Pike, which is the mountain that can be seen reflected in the lake. It was quite overcast and the light was soft and gentle. There was no wind, and the mirror like reflections on the water were beautiful. These cows are permanent residents of this valley, and they were very photogenically placed.
I can be found on...

Thanks very much @tdctunes! And NO MIST.... :)
Have some tasty !PIZZA
I know right - no mist and still awesome!
If it had mist I would probably have hyperventilated.

If it had mist, I would have considered myself the luckiest photographer in the world!
TBH - this image is not technically perfect, I was still figuring out how to work the camera, as it was brand new. I CRINGE when I look at the settings that I used. Perhaps mist would have been wasted on me... 🤣

I'm sometimes like that about music I made in the past - but though both have technical aspects I think both music and photography are art forms first and foremost. So if they work fork the artist/and or the listener/observer then they are valid whatever the technical imperfections (and some might say that the technical imperfections are a plus point! Vinyl listeners?... Film photographers?)
!PIZZA
I love the light and composition in this image, regardless of settings that I used (trust me, if I didn't it would never be seen in public! ;o). It's all about self expression. It hadn't occurred to me that there was a parallel with musicians and technical imperfections before. Sometimes mistakes and flaws can be very beautiful. :)

Definitely re: mistakes and flaws. Perhaps photography is one of the art forms where that is less the case than in others? In music I think it's quite a big thing. People go to a lot of effort to get just the right amount of noise, non strict timing (feel, groove) and spend loads of money on old vintage analog gear (or on emulating it).
