Panorama & Macro

I went for a wander yesterday over to Hartshead Pike as it's probably one of the best places for taking panorama shots that I know of. I tried to capture the moodiness of the skies behind the pike and the silhouette.

Despite the picture being taken at midday, I think it captured the mood quite well.

I must have really liked the surroundings as I ended up taking well over 100 shots, mainly here, but also at Daisy Nook where I tested out the macro side of things.

While walking through the trees along the riverside the sunkept glinting on a gorgeous rusty orange/mustard colour that was on the trunks of quite a few trees. As I got closer to take a look I spotted a good opportunity to use the macro lens on the amazing Lichens that were predominant on this particular bankside. Again, I think I got a little snap-happy as there were a fair few shots to plough through when I got home!
