Shot with either the PraktiSigma or a Mamiya 4B rangefinder with Kodak Ektar 100 on a hazy day in the Lake District back in June 1992 - I have a fleeting suspicion it may have been the latter camera though. This is the original Ektar 100 from the 90's and isn't the latest incarnation.

Newlands Valley and Causey Pike:


Looking north towards Skiddaw from Catbells summit with Derwent Water and Keswick to the northeast:

That first shot is so clear Cool ...don't see that often.

Both great photos, although time has probably played a bad joke in the shape of some magenta cast.
I am struck by the shape of the hills, so different from the hill shapes that we have here.

I was there for a week and that day was probably the clearest going by the rest of the roll. No rain for that period either but very warm and with a lot of haze.

I can just make out the cast on my laptop which really needs upgraded if I'm honest. The English Lakes are truly spectacular and whilst they don't have the ruggedness of the Scottish Highlands, they're equally photogenic and well worth visiting. Great place with great people too. Cool

Great shots of my favourite bit of England. Looking back at my old photos of the lakes I spotted a bit of a magenta cast. Maybe it isn't the film - maybe it is the Lake District that has the cast!

Very nice work Bob. Excellent shots. I love the greens.

I am also struck by the shape of the hills. Really unlike anything we have here.

The hills (maybe 500 million years old) might be different because of glaciers wearing them down and gouging out valleys in repeated ice ages....mountains like the Alps are quite recent in comparison.

The mountains of the North Lakes are sedimentary, formed from layers of silt and slate, giving them a "softer" look. The mountains further south, starting at Borrowdale, are volcanic and much more "craggy".

I had a quick look at the geology of the area guys and the Newlands Valley is glacial in origin.

Can't find the link where it says so though.
