great action!!!

jings... hope you forwarded your pics to the cops! We don't need people like that on our streets.

We went to go skiing at Glencoe yesterday but the conditions were absolutely terrible (lashing rain, melting snow) so we detoured and went photographing instead.... not a wasted day.

Right Angle Falls on the River Etive.

I've kayaked this fall a lot of times, but yesterday with all the snow melt, I had never seen the river this high before. Stunning location. Hope I've done it justice.

First one is a stitch of 4 shots at the wide end of my kit lens.




This one is from half way down the slippery cliffside climb down to the base of the fall. Precarious!





Glen Coe








And, of course, a visit to the area wouldn't be complete without a pic of the infamous Buachaille Etive Mor, especially with her winter coat on. This is the most we saw of her in almost 2 hours!





Anyway, hope you like. All comment and constructive crit very welcome.

All the best to everyone for 2011!!!!

Thanks for all of the comments... much appreciated. They were really hard shots to get and a lot of taking gloves off and putting them back on again to adjust settings, change lenses etc...

RR, i appreciate what you're saying about the blue cast, but that's actually as it was on the day. There was an amazing mid winters blue sky cutting across the top of the hill next to where the shots were taken and there was a very cold cold blue cast everywhere.

lens used for the dog shots was the 50-200 that i bought off someone on here for £70! It's a very good lens, if a bit slow.

We headed out in the snow with my brothers 7 month old Labrador. She loved it. It was bitterly cold put she performed admirably!

Here she is getting set to pounce...





She loved us throwing snowballs for her. Chasing them down and burying her face in the snow. Once or twice she actually lept up and threw some back at us





And this is her all content at the end of the session...





I'll follow this up with more from the walk as it really was very good fun.

I have a new found appreciation of just how difficult it is to capture a moving animal!

nice shots. i think he was just dancing for you

lovely shots... especially the bike!

Another shot from the top of the Space Needle. I've increased the contrast in the sky in this one and the levels have been tweaked a bit, but it's pretty close to how i imagined it when i took the shot. This was around 20 minutes or so earlier than the night shot of the city in the thread above.
