Yeah, it's making me a bit wary of uploading any macro stuff though.

Nice. I took my camera to the garden centre yesterday but haven't been through them yet.

Not a lot. Played with my 100mm macro lens and found out how shallow the DOF is at close range.
This will need a lot more practise to get focus right

And then you do this to me. Excellent !

Well you'll have more time to practise than I will!Not a lot. Played with my 100mm macro lens and found out how shallow the DOF is at close range.

I'm never sure why they make Macro lenses 2.8. Usually that is about the width of a hair at close range!
Well, mine's an f/4, but it seems more easy at 8 or 11 at the moment.

Thats probably still to shallow! f16 or 22 sometimes if you have the light.Well, mine's an f/4, but it seems more easy at 8 or 11 at the moment.

Congratulations!! My wife announced hers to her principal today (she's a 3rd grade teacher) after waiting almost a week to get a moment alone with her. 18 days more of work for her and then no more 415 AM alarms!
John
Thank you, and good luck to your wife. 4.15 - yuk! My early shifts were a 4.50 alarm, but my main relief is that there are no more night shifts
Cheers

Interesting choice of title ... clearly a UK shot based on the telephone numbers, so why not: The Petrol Station?

not a macro - just the EOSM3 with kit lens hand-held. Did a few of these for the WPC but decifef to use something different. Comments always appreciated.

Ah, you noticed. Definitely UK (just down the road from me) but 'gas station' just sounds so much more exotic than 'petrol station'. Should really be 'garage'.

Good stuff.

Thank you for the kind comment. I am glad you liked it and can see the creative side to it. This is a form of landscape photography that I am really enjoying. I've tried to simplify my landscape photography in order to go a different route compared to what I'm used to. I have to say I'm really enjoying the challenge because the 'less is more' approach is more difficult to accomplish than it looks. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a nice vista and more traditional approach but I really want to try and have these simple, quiet images let the mind wander and show a more surreal scene. With this style, I'm trying to show the landscape in a way that our eyes can't see - if that makes any sense.
I've said before that Bruce Percy (an incredibly talented Scottish landscape photographer) is one of my main inspirations. His photographs are beautifully simple and visually stunning. Hopefully, someday, I can get somewhere close to his ability.

Thanks! It such a quiet spot, I always have the beach to myself when I've been. On the few occasions where I bump into people on the Rhinns of Galloway coastline, many share a story similar to yours. They love the escapism this wee area provides. This pocket of coastline is one of Scotland's many hidden gems.
Thanks Ken. I see photos like this and find that maybe up until 3-4 years ago, I'd have went a bit stronger with the saturation. However, I find I'm doing the opposite now and am much more careful with how I adjust the colour. Sometimes I reduce it if needed.

Nice sense of scale with the the birds in focus up close fading to the hills in the distant background.Another of the birds from yesterday. Definitely open to constructive criticism and/or comments.
