Heh. I thought the titles said CRASS. The grass is much lovelier. That's a stellar picture.

Thanks, Matt. Yet another one from my vacation - I'm slowly wading through them all! smile

i like this richard, but what appeals to me most is the background of the grey skies. isn't that how it is in england? grey skies that bring to light . . . .

Not always, but the cloud in this particular picture had a lovely shade of grey - I deliberately framed the shot to capture that contrast with the yellow of the field and the green of the trees.

It was a stormy afternoon - I was rained on very shortly after taking that shot. Here's a view of the field on Newlands Corner.

That's a calendar photo, definitely. Maybe worth some money? Not that money is the point, of course.

Anyway, I was thinking about these group of photos of yours the other day standing on the bus stop, and about photography in general (a squirrel that I ran into set it off); and one of the things I was thinking is that your trip was so inspiring to you. I think you have really moved to a new level with all of these -- you've crossed the line into the professional realm. If you don't mind me saying so.

That's a great compliment, Edward and I appreciate it very much. I am getting better at framing and composition, and much of this is due to the fact that I try to use a tripod wherever possible these days. Of course, this means lugging it about with me everywhere, but it's proven to be well worth it. Having a mounted camera is allowing me to concentrate much more on what I am actually photographing.

One other little addition has been worth its weight in gold - a small spirit level that attaches to the flash mount on my camera. That's the main reason my landscapes have improved so much - I am actually shooting level. Without it, my horizons are only marginally related to reality! smile

Nice level!

Got GPS yet? LOL

Richardmusickna Saturday, August 23, 2008 8:43:08 PM

No... lol (I believe the latest cameras are including it though)!

Perhaps you could get one of these mounts. You could find your way pretty much anywhere in the universe with that one. up

Wow - yes, you could! smile
