I didn’t even have a filter until Christmas
Nice picture. I'll be heading on a southwestern US road trip in about a month and the GC is on my bucket list. I like the composition of this picture. I may have to steal the idea from you
Thank you so much.
Be my guest, I just got back from a third trip up to that area. If you need any tips, let me know... if I may say, Alstrom Point (off road), Horse Shoe Bend and upper Antelope Canyon should be in your list
just in case.
Amazing that, with some skill and thoughtful creativity, something as simple as vacuuming can result in interesting photograph. Well done Molly.
Smasher...
In contrast, something more colourful - that tree again at dawn from my day out in Snowdonia - like to get my money's worth...Comments always appreciated.

Have you thought about creative writing? The way you described it was so wonderfully put!It's warm.

Beautiful.
Cheers. This was two exposures: one for the sky and one for the foreground both at 16mm (full frame). Even though there was't much done in post, I was a bit afraid that the colours looked overcooked but it really looked like that.
More from the day out that keeps giving. 30-sec exposure using a 6-stop ND. This is one of my favourites of the day. Comments always appreciated.

Cracking. If I had to suggest an improvement I'd perhaps try adjusting the perspective a little - the buildings are tipping back a bit.
WowI’m not missing it next time around for sure.

Cheers gents, much appreciated. Haven't been out much the last few months with work but glad to be posting again.
Shots like this and we are all glad your posting again. Beautiful composition.Cheers. This was two exposures: one for the sky and one for the foreground both at 16mm (full frame).

I've been working on a personal project lately.
Nicely done. I think Mrs AFB has the same rust background. She collects backdrops for her craft photography.
Thanks, it's from Erickson Surfaces. Now I know how women feel about purses and shoes...
My wife doesn’t care for purses or shoes. Can’t remember the last time she bought either. At least 6-8 years ago.
But if I touch her photo boards I’m in the dog house! She gets them from here. The rust is my favourite.
Huh, this is interesting! over the years I have bought tiles from my local home renovation shop and I've bought a few acrylic/plastic/glossy squares or larger sizes from Amazon to use as either surfaces or backgrounds for tabletop shots..... Just had a look at Erickson Surfaces. Cool...... Bookmarking that site! Next up, a look at the Photo Boards site but I'm concerned it may be UK-only. I also use foam core boards in various colors and also am always on the lookout when I'm in a crafts-oriented shop to see what they might have on hand. It is amazing what a difference a backdrop or surface can make to an image! The only issue is the possibility of the backdrop or the surface taking on too much of a role in the image, thereby diminishing the impact of the primary, intended subject.
There’s a donut shop at the top of pikes peak. I recently watched a short film on Ken Block (amazing drift/rally driver) and one of the filmographers said he always gets a donut at the top of pikes peak.

A quick hand-held pano. inside a place that has been abandoned for a while now. It's the back of an old house that's been converted to become a sheep shearing building.
Every nook and cranny of Scotland is beautiful. We found this random spot on the way from Lake District to Aberdeen.
Winter evening in Freiburg, Germany.

Thank you so much.

My itinerary is Bryce Canyon, Moab (DH Point, Canyonlands and Arches NPs), Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Scottsdale (got to keep the wife happy; maybe some desert shots) and Page, Az (HSB and Upper Antelope Canyon).
If you are going between Grand Canyon and Scottsdale I’d suggest you take a stop at Sedona if you get the chance. Magnificent location.
Thank you ☺️. I really wanted to shoot 'ol Buachaille but she was covered in clouds once again. Not even the good wispy textured clouds. Just a wall of white. lol. So I turned the camera to a different spot in the area on a small ledge and the light was coming through that tree...

Beautiful. I love the little but of moon you got in the shot. The colors are stunning.
