Ballonarama! I had planned on going this year, and showed up at 6:30. I guess it's only 4-6, so I missed it this year
You'd think they would let it go on later into the night.
First day out with my first DSLR. Unfortunately it was a very cloudy day so I just did some white balance touch up in LR to compensate.
Pano from two hand held shots. D80 Photo Elements 8 and some pp in Aperture. My canoe is is storage.
I LOVE NORTHERN ONTARIO!
Just got back from a quick trip to Munich.
Lovely light and great sky.
Welcome to the land of visual sacrifice. You brought the primary horizontals parallel to the frame, but the vertical lines of the museum, of which there are many, make it a bit slanted.

Thanks, Dale. You may be right, but, perhaps because I've been looking at photos too much today, I'm not seeing the troublesome verticals on this one. Which ones spoil it for you? I'll try to fix it.

Too many pictures? Never!
You don't need to redo this at all. I was just pointing out that photos are seldom perfect. People see different things in the same image. I had training in drafting in High school and that has made sensitive to vertical alignment in photography. Your photo is, as I said, very nice. I really do envy the understanding and control that you and John have over exposure.

Hibiscus flower:
Took this photo using the Exilim EX-Z75's flower best shot mode.
would like to see more of these,I have trouble just trying to grow one inside.
Well, thanks, but I think exposure is really a small part of the equation. I try to "expose to the right," and I choose my apertures very carefully, but the real trick is finding (or planning for) the right light. Good post-processing can do a lot to fix a poor exposure, but no amount of it can fix poor lighting. I think what makes Doylem's pictures so special is his ability to capture light that is particularly revealing for a given composition. I'm not denying the importance of a good exposure, but I think it follows several more important considerations.
And you're right: there's no such thing as too many (good) pictures.
Thanks. I'm fine... though when there's this much rain you soon find out where the roof leaks...
Just sorted out a name for my new business doing landscape photography workshops. Drumroll... Magnetic North Photography...
We've got the domain names sorted out, a website to build, venues checked out, a schedule ongoing. Could be fun...
A shot of Cockermouth before the floods hit (more rain expected tonight: cold comfort to all the people who won't be going back to their homes any time soon)...
Very glad to hear it.
Has Wordsworth's house survived intact? I've not seen any mention on the TV reports.
The house itself is OK. Check out www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6928839.ece
Wordsworth's house, pre-floods...
Thanks for the nice comment. Darned white balance, guess I got lazy.
It is a real shame to see such a historic location ravaged by flooding. It is obviously a remarkable meteorological event if it is doing damage to places that have stood unmolested for so long.
Have you gone out to try to capture the results of the flooding. It would be interesting to see before>during>after shots. This is a chance to hone your disaster photography skills, though no one would ever ask for such a thing!
