love the pics louby

i love mine the best

Tis one of my favs, I have a couple more that I am rather proud of but will show them later in my pic thread :) Glad you liked your Nickster!

Thanks lou,
Hope you had as much fun taking them as I have had looking at them.
The Sea pic is awesome! (can I ask) did you have a filter on when taking it, or change anything with the help of your pc?

Thanks again lou..

Cannot wait!

The only thing I ever do on the pc is crop a picture and straighten them. nothing worse than the horizon looking like its wonky.

I do occasionaly use ND filters but on the sea one I didn't at all, I only use them to stop the sky being blow out or if I want the effect of smokey water.

I am not a great believer in enhancing photo's unless they are arty enhancements.

that’s the way I enjoy my photos as well lou. stunning photo

Lou, is it true you bought us all so many sweets, there was no room to bring your bike back?

Spoiler:

Oooooooooooooooooooo you checky sod! I will get you my pretty!!

What’s the story behind this photo lou……
Was you just passing, or seen it was a good spot sometime before?


Can I have permission to have it as my wallpaper on the pc? (you know how good i am to you)
As you can tell I like it!!

It was taken at Trevose head, and we actually a when up a little while before sunset in the hope we might get a good one. It was the only decent one we got all week. So I was sat in a little grassy dip very near to the edge of the cliff watching Peragrine Falcolns doing there thing, waiting for the sun to set mind you it was cold, but not as cold as the next couple of times we went there, we had gale force winds which were coming down from the north and they were freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing!
and yes by all means you may use it as a wallpaper, it will only cost you £20 a week

that a nice picture louby

Thank you kindly Mark :) This is one of my favs of the holiday....

Lovely photo lou.
How did you end up with a result like this…Can you remember the settings?

I think I had it on a 3 sec shutter not absolutely sure will look at the data a bit later :) but I did use a couple of full ND filters and up the exposure compensation as the picture was taken in daylight. I wanted to get a slightly different effect and was waiting on the light to fade but the heavens opened and that was the end of the photo session and sadly it was on the last night too.
It's not quite as crisp as it should have been as the wind was rather blustery, and even though I had my tripod as low as I possibley could the wind was still shaking enough to take away the crispness.
I learn alot whilst being down there and come up with some great idea's. I just need to put them into practice now.

Thank for the info lou, I been waiting to take some photos of waterfalls, and I think its not until you get out there and have a good play, that’s when you learn and get more ideas .

that looks a lovely place and another nice pic

It is a lovely place, especially at this time of year because all the holiday makers are gone. The most people we saw on Trevone beach was 5 and 4 of them were me and Joe and the kids and the other a friend of ours lol

Ghost you are right where having a muck about with the camera is concerned, ok you end up with alot of crappy pictures but you learn from them.

No sadly it comes naturally.
