We took a great walk up around Derwent Moor and Ladybower Reservoir on Saturday. The weather wasn't great and most of the views were hidden in low cloud, there were some fascinating lichen growing on the rocks.
More pictures from the rest of the walk and Treak Cliff Cavern to come soon.
There's something very attractive about these lichens when shot with a shallow depth of field. The lack of contrast in the day, and the softness of the 20-80 lens, also help in generating a very gentle effect. I'd be interested to see the results of the close-up lenses used on the 50/1.8, now that you have the correct stepping ring. It should be a pretty good combination.
