Taken in March, posted in April
I quite like it Stephen, I wish there was a tad more space at the wing tips, and the noise was bugging me, so this is what I could whip up quickly before racing off for todays Mindful Photography group in the city. I gather it's a severe crop into the image?File this one under the category of 'I don't know if it works or not!!'
Easter egg hunts reminds me of a trip from back in the day. Me and a group of mates (pre wives and kids), went to a country park. They were having an Easter egg hunt for kids that we didn't know about.Lovely day doing Easter Egg hunts again with the girls today. Managed to get to Dumfries House and also Alloway where Robert Burns was born. Got to see Brig O' Doon - the bridge on the back of a Scottish fiver! I liked this fence quite a bit in the walled garden at Dumfries House

So no one was allowed in until 10:30. Well as we weren't going to be hunting eggs, we decided to go in early (through an unlocked side gate). Well the eggs were laminated shapes that you had to hand in for a prize.
We thought we'd move a few to more challenging places. Like high trees and a small island in the middle of the pond!
Got to make them work for it!

Tryfan I believe. I didn't get to the top though! I was on my own and it was early. Probably the safest option.
Funny that you mention that. I brought a tripod. And used it. However the photo was shot from an old bridge. I could feel the bridge moving every time a car passed. I was worried that the image would come out all blurry.[doublepost=1522649084][/doublepost]

Lovely. If taken on the way home, there'd be more camera shake right? Lol
Lovely shot.
Not a chance. Not with that Nikon gear in my back!You didn’t do the Adam and Eve leap then if you didn’t make it to the top. That scared the bejesus out of me when I did that.
That was my first visit to the location - not a problem to get there, only 35 minute drive. Tide timing was the issue with the highest water only giving about an hour or so of decent opportunity. I agree with you about the direction (and mix) of cloud movement - there was probably too much cloud to get a decent sense of movement in the sky but perhaps not quite enough to give an absolutely featureless sky. Definitely plan on going back next month (tide).At the back of the Meadows Anglican Church, South Australia.

I enjoyed your two long-exposures of the jetty, the second one was the stronger to me, due to the paring back of the handrail. Less is more apparently. It would be a great spot to get back to if it's not too far a trip to get there, to explore different POV's again, and different cloud formations. It's the clouds that make LE's such a challenge, to me. The initial scoping out of a spot, with a multitude of shots from all manner of different potentials is pretty quick and can be done in any weather, that's just about composition after all. But, getting the right clouds and in the right direction, is the biggest challenge I am finding.
Who cares when it was taken - gorgeous!Sorry, taken in March

Yet harmless house spiders reduce you to a jibbering wreck...
At least you found a bunch of people you could open up to about it who haven't ribbed you mercilessly about it for the last three years!My only two fears - Spiders and Heights. Peer pressure helped overcome the second one on that day.

It's that nice heavy heart attack snow , too . Words cannot describe how thrilled I was to wake up to this .
I'm in northeast NJ , just outside NYC . I'm driving home from visiting family in Mass. last night and there's highway signs on the Merritt Pkwy. warning of a winter weather advisory . No way , I thought.. well above freezing , big moon , wispy clouds ..... Anyway , it'll melt fast .Where do you live? (General area) it was in our forecast for awhile here inthe DC area but in the end we only got a little bit of rain and the temps stayed in the high 30s.
I gather it's a severe crop into the image?
What's your thoughts on the 100-400 so far?
I love mine but find I really need to keep the shutter speed up. I keep confusing it being soft with me being rotten using it.
I love this image. It is deamatic and works well I think.
Those trees are just messing with my head!
