Thanks guys for the comments. Steve - the sun was lurking behind a veil of cloud and yes there were some shadows around!

A couple more from yesterday, at 70mm. that I missed.
BTW these are small files ~6 to 7MB. I didn't use 'Sharpening' in PP, only the option in 'Post-Resize sharpening'.

The Local Pub; (Tip: don't park on the slipway without checking the tide)

A local walk down to Hooe Lake/Estuary with my new to me lens. A very grey and gloomy day so have given the shots a boost in Rawtherapee.
All at f8.
Plenty of Reflections.

Both.
The colour for a beautiful shot, whereas the mono is for "danger even foreboding" if you wanted drama etc.

Same here. Life changes, horizons have to shrink, stick to what is possible and be grateful for what you do have.

It's one reason why I've turned to macro in recent years. To a ladybird, my gardens are absolutely enornous, so looking at things through a ladybird's eyes means there's a lot to explore without even leaving home .

Let me know If you ever do manage to head my way, it would be nice to put a face to a forum name.

Thank you, means so much, short of words, emotional even, that's life eh. Great to "talk"..

Great, maybe I might call in one day, not a million miles away, sometimes we pass through but these days I'm a carer and limited to travel. Many thanks. Looking forward to using it, my old vintage vivitar 70 to 200 suddenly developed fungus, so decided to go for a newer model, having had previous fungus on a very old original to me tamron 70-200 with fungus.
Thanks again.

Thanks Don for the comment, I had only a short time to snap away as I pulled up in the car, freezing, engine running, SWMBO waiting.....
All after driving 23 Miles only to turn back!
