...and Castle Stalker

Someone had been driving on the beach in low tide...

..and finally, a view out over Loch Fyne from Inverary.

Very nice Johan , what type of effect did you use on them? They look like they were shrunk down?

It's an effect to narrow the field of depth in post-processing called "Tilt-Shift"

That has got to be a monty python castle. nice photo

WoW! It has an interesting disorienting effect, for lack of a better word. It looks like a picture of a miniature, but the details are too fine/precise. My mind can't grasp the scale.

Well, I'm no expert, but there is something about each and every one your photos I've seen that is unique. I can't put my finger on it, but in spite of the variety of subjects and treatments, I think there is a signature. I'd buy your book!

Oh, and FYI, the journey IS the destination.

Here is my effort.
This was the view from my house briefly one winter. Snow never lasts more than a day or two.

DSLR Noob

Was playing around with my son's D80 last weekend. Haven't messed with an SLR in a VERY long time!

Thanks JoAnna
The picture quality is a bit poor though. I haven't quite got the sizing right.
Here is hopefully a less distorted atempt of the tourist train nearby. Until the railways generally disappeared in the UK, you could take this line to the nearby town, change trains and go pretty much anywhere in the UK.

Great photos guys!

Here's a few more...




Here's some from the mountains not too far from our house...

Here are a couple of shots taken yesterday with the D80 and Tokina 100mm f2.8 macro. Taking them is easier than post processing!! Too much to learn...the camera, file sizes, Photoshop, color management, printing (an utter failure so far)....I have a headache!!

Looks great Michael! Lets see some more

Ok, one more...what can I say, yesterday was floral close-up day.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.....

I like the 2nd flower and the 3rd mushroom shots the best :signs154
