Herb Riddle's photos with the keyword: Light

It is said that landscape photography is more about light than anything else. Here we see a capture across Ennerdale Water to the north west that adds proof of that saying. The PiP shows yet another view from the East to Angler's Crag with some more nice lighting. Enjoy full size.

As the warmer days of summer reveals itself with longer days and warmer light, we are reminded that winter has not quite gone yet. A local walk down our linear park shows fresh snow on both the fences and greenery here. Enjoy full size and have a great week.

After uploading a photo of sheep in sun-setting light for last weeks HFF, I have decided to share more of my local Winter Snow scenes with you here. Here we are looking down onto the Dovestones area Binn Green carpark with one of the three reservoirs in view As a back-drop we have of course the western Pennine range, known here as the Saddleworth Moors.

An arched pier to the inspection point on Norman Hill Reservoir catches my eye with this wonderful light. This is near Piethorne reservoir above Newhey, Rochdale. See PiP HFF and have a great weekend.

As we reach the end of Loweswater and start our journey right-ways and up, we look further up the valley towards the Crummockwater region. We are treated here to the rainbow effect of the wet atmosphere and heavy clouds to the left looking at 'Whiteside' on the left and 'Brackenthwait Fell/ Gasgale Craggs' on the right. Enjoy full screen as always here.

2014: A brief one week visit to Port de Sóller on the Baleriac Island of Mallorca (Marjorca) brings back happy memories. I took many photos as usual and I present to you now some of those. This first one was taken from our hotel front after a night of heavy rain with thunder and lightning. Behind the port promenade frontage is a natural wilderness and steep mountain foothills. The lighting effect here is caused by thick ground mist in the fields rising to obscure the hillside trees which can just be made out. Enjoy full size.

As the C19 pandemic gains more repeated footholds around the world, here in my hometown of Oldham we have just been advised that as being in the top five worse places for new cases in the UK, we should take extra precautions again. This view encompasses one of our three ‘isolation walks’ along the old railway, now a linear park. The two Pips show, what I consider two more interesting views of the same bridge taken some time ago now, also here in Ipernity. Click on the pictures to be taken to the originals. Enjoy full screen

Taken from Birchen Edge, Derbyshire, a reminder after a long Winter that Spring has arrived.

A distant view of dreams and history. Deep shadows rise up to the milky mist of this Spring day. Surrounded by trees, Chatsworth House can just be made out. Look further and you may see a deer or two.The river Derwent on the right, snakes through the grounds and just to the left of the great house you can just see the glinting waters of the formal lake.

As the sun starts to drop behind the mountains, a beautiful thing starts to happen to these shifting sands -they display different colours each time you look. A place to meditate and loose one's troubles.

A splendid spot, especially when one is alone with only the sound of birds and the odd splash as a fish jumps.

Just at the side of the Göta Kanal in Gothenburg, Sweden lies this memorial to the age of sail, albeit on land. In an case, making for an attractive photo in this contre-jour misty setting. Enjoy

Enjoy this scene which is fairly natural as the sun lit up the tree and foreground on this Autumn day. Moments later the scene was back in shadow.

Just minutes from my house sits an old railway line. Long since converted into a liner park walk. Lined with fences and trees, now and again it is struck by beautiful low side lighting. Mix that up with one of the first hoarfrost of the season and green leaves on the evergreens and we end up with a painting of our Winter here in Oldham. I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb A must, for full screen viewing!

The storms have gone - for the time being, but the moody lighting hangs about for some time yet. A lone walker chances the weather and it is another chance to get a much liked mood shot for me. Best enlarged. Pip

As the sun breaks through the mist here at the edge of Dove Stones reservoir, this new natural log seat is picked out by its strong colours. Much too cold and wet to sit here but it makes for another fine memory of this great moment. Enjoy large.

Siena, has beautiful light! It all works so perfectly well with the coffee coloured walls of its many buildings. Here we have a view of one of the many streets with high walls and shuttered windows. Of course the shadows from the opposite buildings gave me this unique bridge-like effect here. The green, white and red national flags help too (il Tricolore) :) Enjoy full screen

A beautifully lit scene of the cliffs near Seaford showing these Kittiwakes that have been nesting here. Originally in my Panoramio gallery of 2009 Enjoy full screen on black.
