No problem, I had a sense of humour bypass for a minute or two... I have honestly been asked quite a few times about this shot and other similiar ones I have as to whether they were "real".. guess it's something we have to live with in the digital age.

The weather definitely can be a bit bizzare...quite a few of my Anglesey photos were taken on days I intended to get some shots around Snowdonia but the mist/cloud/rain stopped me from doing so... 10 miles onto Anglesey and blue sky was everywhere !!

I know what you mean about the conditions, your comment isn't the 1st one I've heard like it either ....it's the problem with digital sometimes, people think it's not "as shot", even fellow photographers...

this was one of those very rare times when it actually was that still, I was also lucky to catch another series of shots the following week in similar conditions, it was back in October 2007 and I've not managed to catch it like this since though !!

Simon

Thanks,

Co-incidentally, it's the same shot that was shortlisted for last years Sunday Times Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition

I've just been fortunate to have one of my Snowdonia reflection shots published in this months (Iss 82) "Digital Photographer" magazine..here's the shot

To get the best print sharpness it's always best to resize 1st and then add sharpeness...for the most accurate workflow it's preferable not to let the printer driver have any influence over your print output, best done in photoshop

Thanks John, I see what what you mean with the sky..I'll put a bit more work into this one to see I can't improve things

Simon

Another mono conversion from some past shots..all c&c appreciated

Thanks for the comments, think I'll go with this one

Simon

I'm just looking through a few old shots and trying out some B&W conversion which is not something I've done very much of...

would be interested to hear opinions on this one?

thanks

Simon

Sorry, call me a philistine, but I'm quite keen on autofocus too..I did own the SMC A 1.7/50mm for a while but never really found manually focusing with the GX10 to be much fun
