"When you go down to the woods today...."
Very spooky, not dodgy looking at all. Nicely done. Does it look even more ominous in B&W I wonder?
Got a tip for us?

"When you go down to the woods today...."

Straight out of a spooky story. Shot on iPhone 6S, HDR enabled.
Very nice. I actually really like images that are almost completely washed out in mist/fog/smog... I think it adds a great effect.
There is one image in Dublin airport Aer Lingus lounge which is a picture of the powerstation in the bay. It is focused on a rock sat in the foreground to the lower right and it is stunning. You look at the rock and think there is nothing else there until your eyes adjust and details of the power station begin to emerge - mesmerising. Same here. Well done.

Awesome shot Peter. I love your wildlife shots, they're always so good and inspirational. I love the attitude in this one. Don't mess with that bad boy!
Mine for today is a final one from my trip to the lakes. Windermere again.
A bit of an odd perspective, but I liked it. It's taken looking up a stairwell of an old hotel.

Hey all, it's been awhile... quite awhile since I've posted here. I figured I'd dip my toes back into this forum. Some really nice pics by everyone.
This shot is from my local beach in Taft, Oregon (south part of Lincoln City.) Siletz Bay is to the left and in the distance looking west is the Pacific.

Wow, lovely work on the bannister! nice contrasts between light and dark. Could you do anything to soften the clipped highlights at the top maybe?
Thanks @kenoh, I turned the highlights down with a mask around that area. Any more and it looked washed out or flat. I think i might have had the focus point on the light instead of the edge of the window. Learning as I go
Thanks very much MacRy...coming from you that's a tremendous compliment indeed.

Still awesome though. Like the changes in tone as you go higher. Nice effect.

If Grasshopper is to learn the ways of photo-fu, he must first learn to not get distracted by others on the path to their destiny. He must focus and practice his mantras and techniques. He must learn the ways of the exposure triangle, he must learn that the best images come not from the lens but from the mind. He must unleash the shutter with great fury not but when faced with great beauty of light...
As suggested by Kenoh, a B&W treatment, albeit of a different shot. I think you were right Ken! Comments always appreciated.

lol... yeah, yet again, sounded funnier in my head... my point was, stop worrying so much and just enjoy taking pictures.
