nice shots of the shed and the shack that you said looked overcooked....loved the contrast of the grasses...
Lawrence's 365 for 2014
- Thread starter Lawrence
- Start date
July 2nd
Atrocious weather here today and not much fun to step outside however there was a tiny window of opportunity between showers and I rushed out into the garden to get this one.
Not too keen on "rushing out" to snap a shot with not much thought to it but … well I guess there are days like this (my momma told me there would be)

This is an interesting looking spot Lawrence. Wonder what a long long exposure would look like around that rocky outcrop? or a sunset/sunrise? or a night shot with light painting? Is it close by?

Nice little island!
Its a bit of a drive away but well worth visiting and doing exactly what you suggest. Yesterday it was cold windy and wet.
I only took the photo because I saw potential in bringing out detail in the rock.
Right now I am trying to improve my processing skills.
I was a bit sloppy in places with the dodge and burn tools but not too fussed as I know how to fix that on a good photo.
Thanks Lee.
I feel they are stagnating and working really hard on improving. I seem to be on a plateau. I have however stopped taking hundreds to secure one or two and am now more able to pull out of a shot if i don't see potential. I hope to be streets ahead of where I am now come 12/31/14
Your comments most appreciated my friend
Sounds a bit like you are being too critical of yourself, something I know I am guilty of. We are all looking for that wow factor in every shot we take.
To be able to pull out a good shot without taking hundreds, to me, has got to be a great skill in itself.

I think we are our own worse critics sometimes. I tend to feel the same at the moment about my own work.
I'm with Lee tho....your photos ARE better now than 6 months ago

I took a few night shots tonight in the little village I am staying in.
It was fun as they had a "Festival of Lights" parade. I missed the parade but felt comfortable afterward walking around with camera and tripod - I guess that is progress.
I will process and post more later but for now here is the first shot I took

Excellent, so just get on with it.
