Had a pootle out to Aysgarth Falls (nr Layburn) today - got scuppered by forgetting my tripod (yes I know) and the sun was in an awkward position, but I think I've seen enough to know a return visit is on the cards

The first 2 are of the middle fall, which took some off-roading to get to - sneaked off the main path and back up the river, and the expedition was worth it i think!

First 3 here are HDR, either 5 or 7 shots

I really like numbers 1 and 3. Mrs D likes number 4. You forgot your tripod! Bet you were mad when you realised.

Whereabouts is Layburn? Looks like a great place.

Well worth the off road trip - have heard a lot about these fall and have never made it to see them.

HDR images are really good - natural looking.

Like them all

I'll kick you too for forgetting your tripod Smile

Great part of the world, and an old stomping ground of mine, when I used to climb a fair bit around the Dales.

You captured the falls very nicely, and the HDR work is sweet (apart from the minor halo around the trees on #1), and natural looking.

Number 3 for the win in my humble opinion. Smile

Well worth the hike Jon!
