Is that a little bird I see flying in the sky towards the rising sun? Sorry benjiesmum I missed this reply. Yup, a good old Shetland maa or herring Gull I expect. ;D

Well, Pat if I was from Lancashire I'd say: Well, that's summat like a view an' all!!!!! Beautiful photos - you can almost touch the crisp dry air. But I'm a bit worried - there seem to be two very tall people dressed in white waving to you frantically in the first picture. Are they alright!!!??

A picture of Conwy Castle taken on my trip to the RSPB reserve. I think it's one of the most beautiful settings for a castle....look... It was taken from very far away, so does lack clarity a bit!

Not so pro...... semi pro on playing with Photoshop maybe but just getting back into stills photography this last year after a 15 year break. Cheers for the kind words.

Well...... to break the golden rule and give up some secrets.... Here is the St Ninians shot as it would have come straight from the camera at default settings..... www.flavourproductions.co.uk/St Ninians unworked.jpg[/img] Shoot in RAW format, get the focus right and the exposure not too bad, and then it's all Photoshop. Not sure if that's encouraging or not...... ;-)

Still a stunning photo Braeview.....even withoot da help o photoshop. RAW, exposure, aperture?sp....this photography lark is getting more an more complicated for me. I think i'm going to pack away dis digital SLR an get me owld point an click oot again! ;D............an da stuff I ta cerry noo is no handy! Going oot ta tak a photo noo reminds me o whin I was kertin small babies aboot........both requires da sam amount o hand luggage!

:-) It's all relative I suppose. I find it great to be able to go out to take photos with just one small backpack and a tripod after a few years of video work, when many a time it is a transit van load to load and unload several times a day ;-)
