Views from the top of Conistone

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F22, ISO100, shutter speed 0.5 to 1/125 seconds, edited in Photomatix tweaked in Photoshop

Sorry about the lack of sharpness, this was hand held in a gale force wind!!

Conistone, which it is said means ‘farmstead of cows’ or ‘Kings Manor’ is a charming and quiet village hidden away from the main road to the east of Wharfedale. It was mentioned in the Domesday book as Cunestune. Conistone Dib is a narrow gorge, which was created by post-glacial floodwater, and leads upwards from the village green, through Gurling Trough, to an area of spectacular limestone scenery.

    Awesome Shaun! How do you like the 50D and how does it work with the sigma lenses!?

  • Shaun Whiteman replied

    Thank you for your comment my friend. The 50D is excellent, I upgraded from the 400D which is a big step, many reviewers were saying that you should by the 40D but I decided the 50D was the one for me. I have two Sigma lenses, the 17-70 and the 10-20, both are very very good in my opinion….I will not be changing them for many years.
