Worm Hole

Ladybower Reservoir, Derbyshire

I think we all got a shot of this....Ladybower Reservoir's west outlet plughole thingy in all its Dr Who-like glory

There's something not quite right about the shot - can't put my finger on it, anybody any ideas?

Perhaps it was just missing the giant plug stop?

It seems alright to me, very interesting shot.

I did contemplate getting more height from the wall, but what a comedy shot you lot would hve got if I rolled in. I thought the same as you, every one I took is just not quite right. I think its the elipitical effect when looking at any angle other than bang down the middle.

In think Phill and Neil are right, we were too close to it, still a great shot of it though.

Phil could be right , mine all look out of kilter... I think the hole was too close to the wall for a really decent shot , if it were on its own in the middle of the water.... but nothing we can do about that...

Actually it looks fine to me. Maybe it's just that the plughole is such a strange feature to see in the calm water.

Amazing place! I have never seen this before. The image looks OK to me, apart from a slight halo on the skyline.
Phillip Normanton25-Mar-2010 19:57
That sinking feeling :o) I noticed it on mine too - the hole doesn't look level somehow, but if you make it level, the rest of the pic isn't. A strange one... down to the right a smidge maybe?
Nice job with the shadowy bits!
