"The Lost Ark" Eastern Sierra, California, 2017
I wrote a little story about how my experience as an archaeologist prepared me for life as a landscape photographer. It's on my website and Facebook Page if anyone wants to read it.
I would also like to share the news about a brand new discussion forum by and for landscape photographers. I started it because I so often hear people wanting a place for specialized photo critique and in-depth discussion. It also has resources for landscape photographers, including "The 'Skype' Lessons Directory of photographers who do one-one-one post-processing lessons via screen-sharing. I'll probably make a separate thread about it here when I get a chance, but for now, here's the link: THINKOUTSIDE LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY FORUM.

There's also a landscape channel on youtube that covers a wide range of topics in landscape photography. The channel is "On Landscape"
Yes indeed, and my complete talk in England is available on that channel. Here are the shortcuts to the YouTube video points with the talk and the interview: LINK.
I think it needs to be warmed up a little. The fuzz looks pretty blue to me. But I love the light glistening on it.
Cheers Mollyc, the original was a little too warm for me so I cooled it down a bit - perhaps too muchI think it needs to be warmed up a little. The fuzz looks pretty blue to me. But I love the light glistening on it.

Photography is so subjective. If you like it, then it's perfect!
Goot bored today so decided to try my luck at some Osprey pix . Lots of young in nesting boxes but the adults just weren't around . So I spent a couple of hours shooting 'spray and pray' on some smaller stuff .

OK... maybe he was humming...
Broad Port Bay, SW Scotland.
May 2017
I last visited this location a couple of years ago and there was very little sand in the bay. The tides have brought it back and the big curving sandbar looked far too good to be true for bringing the eye into the scene. I climbed up some really big rocks to gain about 20-25m elevation to make the sandbar more prominent from the steeper angle I could gain.
I went here knowing where the sun would be setting at this time of year from past visits to the stretch of coastline South of this location. I figured this bay would at the right angle for it. The recent dry, settled weather gave a promising chance of a hazy, subdued sunset that would be ideal for the scene. The only thing I didn't plan for was the return of the sand!
