In reply to Colin Henderson: yes. I was there last week and I know what you mean. Unfortunately warm hazy afternoons make for poor quality landscape photos for novices such as myself. Probably why people stick religiously to the Golden Hour rule.

In reply to Colin Henderson: that said your photos have turned out nicely.
@Jonay - I carried a speedlight and a reflector. I was out with friends though and I'm conscious I take advantage of them enough without getting them to act as 'voice-activated light stands' too so they were mainly available light and shot on the go.
@stroppygob - Filters would have helped. Definitely a graduated filter. I find I do that mostly in Lightroom though when processing the Raw file.
In reply to Colin Henderson: Some good action shots there Colin but it's been bad for landscapes here in Snowdonia...it's been a frustrating few weeks for me!
