A Chilly Morning

Hello all. I thought I might take the opportunity to post some seasonal shots. It has been proper freezing this last couple of days but these were taken a couple of weeks ago when it was merely chilly - but bright at least... These were shot with the K5 and a second hand Sigma 70-200 which I have recently acquired (the HSM but non-OS version) - it is a pretty impressive piece of kit IMO...

1. Rowers in the mist (on the Thames below Ham House)




2. Frosty Fence




3. Chilled Pond




4. Swan the Duck Wrangler!




5. Flared Geese




6. Passing Gull




Hope you like these, any C&C welcome. These were all taken in my usual haunt of Richmond Park and surrounds... if I can stand the cold I shall pop out early again tomorrow and see what's occurring As usual, there are more shots on flickr.

Regards

Very nice set, I really like n. 6!

Ilike them all but #2 is exactly the sort thing I enjoy viewing and #6 is outstanding.

The last three make a lovely set- I was going to say well done for braving the cold but the rowers are the real loonies in this respect!

All very good, but No. 4 for me is the pick.

Yes all are good, but for me 4 and 6. Great set.

jeeess

I like them

Very nice set. #2 is stand out for me. And love the lighting on the building in #1

May I ask if the borders were added "in camera"?

Great set! Makes me want to go there myself!

Thanks everyone for the comments - Opethian, the borders were not added 'in camera' but with Photoshop elements. Normally the last thing I do is add a border to any pics I process. Under the 'image' menu tab there's an option to 'resize canvas' (rather than resizing the whole pic) and I just add a white extension to the pic on all sides. I find that if I am putting a border on an uncropped pic, then I add 200 pixels all round (normally white); if I have cropped the frame then reduce the added pixels accordingly to taste

Japers45 - I agree with you about the rowers! I dread to think if they had been out this weekend... they may have had to cope with a spot of ice if so... (it was proper freezing!)
