Nice. I used to work in engineering and know the two guys that spun all those domes by hand!

Every time I head into Brum with a camera it's always been raining, so I've never got any good shots of them.
I like this perspective. Nice job.
Thank you. I remember the Council had one of the domes in a meeting room - not sure what happened to it when the office was refurbed!
Stolen and weighed in for the aluminium no doubt!
"Three Brothers" from Cathedral Beach, Yosemite.
Trying to (unsuccessfully) capture the backlight to this tip of a pine tree branch. It looked so good to the eye, and had a halo of light to it, which I just couldn't capture with the camera. I did manage to recreate it in PP, but it just didn't sit right with me to portray it through artificial means for some reason...

Not San Fransisco. Had a couple of hours to kill so drove down to Tombstone (of gunfight @ OK Corral fame). Best bit was a barbecue brisket lunch. Comments always appreciated.

Another cracker. I really like the almost-mono look of this with just a hint of colour. Classy.

This and all the others you've been posting from Yosemite are just stunning. Really great work.

Sea Haar over Ardwell Bay, SW Scotland. A style of shot I've wanted to do for ages.

Another pic in my series of dandelions.
Found one today that was at the seed sphere stage (if that makes sense). Shot it multiple times over several hours as over time it opened up from being a hemisphere to a total sphere.
Each time shot it with a 90mm macro lens, f/11, ISO 100. Used a Rogue Flashbender light box attachment with an off camera flash to soften the light. Made multiple exposures changing the position of the flash (just off axis, 45 degrees off axis, side light, back light) to give me options with regard to the placement of highlights and shadows on the dandelion when reviewing the series in post. Manual mode with a relatively fast shutter speed of 1/160th sec not to freeze motion (there was some wind, but the flash was going to freeze any movement), but to force the flash to be the main light and thus darken the background at the time of capture so I didn't have to mess with darkening the background in post.

Really enjoying this series. And not just because we distribute flash bender across Europe!Another pic in my series of dandelions.

Here's one from last weekend. I'm really busy with work so this was the first time I've had a chance to even load them on to my Mac.
