Fabulous colours in the first one

I HAD intended to take the K-x out this afternoon [ had things to do in the house this am , and phone calls had to be made.

Yesterday coming home from Edinburgh I spotted a lovely coloured bush and grabbed a quick shot with the Optio [ was later told that my focus wasn't right ] so I decided to have another go with the K-x today.

What's it doing ??


Where's me water wings ?

Most odd

Can I try and explain in non techy terms why I went for #1 ?

In both #s 1 & 2 yes we are aware that there's cloud below the hill , but somehow it doe not intrude - it just sort of merges into the hills and the sky. The colours used in #1 are rather unusual and to me , they add to the almost out-of-this-world atmosphere.

in # 3 it seems to be there as a rather more solid 'cloud ' thing , it's thick and seems very solid - and somewhat out of keeping with the rest of the the picture.

I like what Pauly did with the sky - that's superb , but we are still left with that , to me , very heavy lump of white cloud/mist and this very non-tech idiot level photographer feels that the vignetting is just a tad too obvious .

Hope I've not stamped on Pauly's toes with this - I love his stuff that I've seen , but this version of Alig's original , for me just isn't right - sorry

I'm sitting looking at a PC at the moment

number 1 for me too

BTW - it's not a MAC - it's a Mac - just for the sake of accuracy

Show off

Meal sounds good I have to say

Only clock I still have to do is the heating one - and that can wait for a bit

The striking clock will be restarted in 3 mins and then it's correct .

Everything else was done before I went to bed - and the radio controlled ones did themselves at some point in the night.

Now for the striking one - and I might as well wind it up too

Port - now that's a good idea too
