Very nice. It wouldn't have been half as effective if you were looking down on the dog, and I like the difference in texture - and colour - between the dog and the sofa.

Here is a calming image taken a few weeks ago prior to sunset. It follows my interest in 'quiet' seascapes / landscapes....
Finding these type of images is more difficult than it seems. However, finding a scene and pre-visualising how a long exposure transforms it is one of the most rewarding things about this style of photography. You turn reality into a dream-like scene with just a camera and a couple of minutes.
This is fast becoming one of my favourite images. Sounds sad, but I was buzzing when the Fujifilm UK Facebook account 'Liked' and commented "Stunning image!" on it earlier today. It's up there with Colin Prior 'Liking' an image I posted as a comment on his page once!
Anyway, the technical bit (apologies for the awful fb compression on the image, I saved it directly from there to post here:

So true about blues in nature Ken. These guys, especially the males, are so blue it's a bit hard to control saturation unless it's an overcast day.
Thanks oblomow. Tis the season...hoping for a bear trip this coming summer.

Lovely sky. I've never tried shooting just the sky. Perhaps I'll give it a go the next half decent one we get.Into the clouds......Purple and Gold

Found this dead moth this morning and thought it would make a nice macro photographic subject.
Agree. I'm always on the lookout for things like that. When Mrs AFB traps a beetle in the house with a glass waiting for me to get home to deal with, I always tell her I'll get my camera first!Found this dead moth this morning and thought it would make a nice macro photographic subject.
Usually goes down like a lead balloon!
Its not ideal to try and shoot sports with a fixed 35mm lens I guess...but at least you do get to see a wider perspective

Hello fellow Dutchman to the above. This one's looking north to the city center of Zaandam from the Den Uyl bridge. Warning, ginormous image.

Shattered history
You post some very nice images, but the background on this one is *really* busy, so much so that it completely draws my eye away from the apple buds and almost becomes the subject with the apple buds being a distraction. I think this is made worse by the apple buds being relatively underexposed compared to the background. Just my 2 coppers and take it with a grain of salt
Mine for today. Was a foggy morning with rain and I decided to go to a nearby spot to take some pics prior to a meeting. Was holding an umbrella in my left hand while I took this. Luckily it was a light lens
