The Tesco shot has just raised my rant level about four notches....what a damning indictment of our society. But....I won't rant here.

Number one: I like it but the headstone doesn't stand out enough for me. Would a tweak in curves bring it out a little?

Number 3: I think you have two shots here. The old ladies and the roof, but a seperate shots. As has been said, that roof is crying out to be explored.

Wa hoping to make a long weekend of it, but the dates don't coincide with school holidays, so can't
It was a little far for a day trip, but I might consider the autumn one again...depending on "events"

Can I ask what you gain from the extra 4 Mp?

Thanks.
I'll go back and have another look at number 4, but I don't think I "upped" the saturation on that one. Just tweaked the curves.

I did try to lighten the first one, but, as you say, it ruined the orange glow.

I had to take Jacob to a party this afternoon and wait for him, so I spent the time strolling along the promenade. I'd missed most of the decent light, but still got some shots.

C&C please

not always. even at thirty or forty below zero, here in canada, if there is fast moving water, like at the dam near my house, the cold water will steam up like a fog and settle on everything as hoar frost.... no real warmth at all...
cold water, cold air and cold everything...

just so happens the water is a bit warmer than the air so it vaporizes into a fog then settles everywhere, as the cold air won't hold moisture for long... so it settles on everything the immediate vicinity no matter how cold it is.....

on the coldest nights (we had -48 last week) the fog on the bridge over that dam is sooo thick you cannot see...

trust me there is no warm, moist air involved.... goes from liquid water to vapour in cold dry air and back to ice crystals in seconds...
I would love to live in that part of the world!

Yep, it is the Association of Chief Police Officers. Although I have heard (anecdotally) that private companies are also represented on it.
I was told that ADT had a member on the board, but I don't know if that is just rumour within the industry.

I'm hoping to find my K7 under the tree with a nice note from Santa.....not a lot of hope of that though

Having been called a paedophile for merely having a child with me whilst taking photos, I can see where some concern comes from.

That said....I'll see what I can come up with
